When choosing a watch, pay attention to what its case is made of. Good materials are 316L stainless surgical steel or, as a more lightweight option, titanium. However, for the manufacture of more expensive models, an additional PVD coating is used, most often black.

If the strap is steel, then you should pay attention to the fact that it is also made of stainless steel. This is practically a standard, rarely when aluminum or alloys are found. If the strap is braided, it is desirable that the links be as small as possible.

The insides are no less important part than the appearance. Reliable and relatively low-cost mechanisms are considered quartz Japanese Miyota and Swiss Ronda. Quartz ones themselves are more reliable, since they break much less often than full mechanics. But even among the Chinese mechanisms, there are plenty of good ones now.

In a wooden clock, it is important that the wood has undergone primary processing and does not have any chemical coatings and treatments. This can cause allergies and rejection.

In addition to the classic arrow dials, there are also more non—trivial and flexible disk dials - a frequent occurrence in designer watches, with which you can bring to life the most daring and unusual ideas. In such watches, it is important to pay attention to the power of the mechanism and the number of disk layers — this is what determines their reliability and durability.
