Battery (quartz  Fun fact: even though quartz is only the second most abundant mineral found in our earths crust after feldspar, quartz watches are clearly the dominantly found timepieces on wrists of people walking on our crusty earth. Ha, take that feldspar! But seriously, electric clock movements using quartz oscillators were invented in the late 50’s by Japanese people in white lab coats. They then kept going on developing smaller portable versions until they could be fit in a wrist watch. Quartz watches are not only cheaper in production than mechanical watches, but they are also at least 10 times as accurate. A quartz watch should not lose more than a second a day. This is because a quartz crystal is used as an oscillator that stably reverberates at a certain frequency. For a more accurate account of accuracy, please read the bit about accuracy.

Analogue An analogue watch or clock is a timepiece that has the time intervals such as hours and minutes / seconds on its face permanently. The current time is indicated by some form of pointer, most commonly a rotating finger.

Mineral Crystal A watch glass (or crystal) is one of the most exposed parts of a wrist watch. When men in suits and stove pipe hats fished a fancy little pocket watch from their frocks and flipped a lid to get a look at the watches face, normal glass was quite all right as it was protected. Then came the wristwatch and things changed. The wristwatch is constantly subjected to the wearers surroundings and will receive quite a lot of bumps and the occasional hard object being scraped across its glass. This is why most watch manufacturers offer their watches with an especially hardened mineral glass, which will withstand most every day abuse a watch is bound to get and stay clear and unscratched for much longer than an ordinary glass.

Divers Watch If you consider that divers rely on a good watch in order not to die, one could expect designated divers watches to be quite robust timepieces. In Germany, where we are based, a divers watch has to fulfill certain criteria before being allowed to be called a divers watch. These watches are usually watertight to a pressure of 20 bar and over. They are also fitted with large indexes and fingers so that they are easy to read through your goggles in the dim light of the deep blue sea at a distance of at least 25 cm. They will also have to have a timer or a bezel which can be turned to indicate the time a diver needs to consider when calculating the remaining oxygen in his or her tank and to keep the intervals needed when ascending back to the surface. This bezel can only be turned one way so as to eliminate the possibility of it being moved by accident, increasing the diving time over the oxygen supply and thus causing a horrible death through drowning.
| Waterproof Water tightness or impermeability, surprisingly enough, is the degree to which you can expose your watch to the element water. A watch can be water repellent to a variety of degrees, from surviving the odd splash, to keeping the watch fully functioning long after your crushed body has hit the ocean floor. Please note that these are always theoretical values. Water behaves very differently at different temperatures and with varying salinity. So we took our crayons and made you this rough guide (which, by the way, is in no way legally binding and we will not be held accountable for your watch if you ruin it):
