Automatic watches are expensive products and people buy them when they intend using them for a long period of time. Any person who intends purchasing automatic watches should examine their quality with a very keen eye before deciding to go ahead and complete the purchase transaction. They should be aware of all the important aspects and criteria which need to be taken into consideration when purchasing automatic watches.
The exterior portions of these automatic watches will have to be examined carefully at the time of purchase. The shell of the watch and the lens of the watch will first be subjected to careful examination. The dial of the watch should also be examined very carefully along with the hour hand and the minute hand. Any scratches or nicks on the shell or the lenses of these watches will become visible when such a careful examination takes place. Any defects in the hour hand, minute hand and the second hand will also be revealed at this time. The watch bands of these watches should also be examined carefully in order to check if they have been broken.
The sensitivity of automatic watches is the next important criteria which will have to be examined. The agility of the watch will be tested at this juncture. This can be done by shaking the watch which has been stopped. When we shake a stopped watch, the second hand will stop working. If it stops, this means that the watch is sensitive. But if the second hand does not stop, then this means that the agility of such watches is not up to the mark.
The position of the hour hand and the minute hand and the distance between them will be the next aspect of these automatic watches which needs to be judged. A certain distance should also be maintained between the hands of the watch as well as the lens of the watch. If a certain amount of distance has not been maintained between the hour hand, the minute hand and the second hand then this could cause some kind of friction in the watch which will not allow the watch to function in a normal manner. An example of the distance to be maintained between the hour hand and the minute hand is when the watch is showing the time of 3 o' clock. If the hour hand and the minute hand are at right angles at this juncture, then this means that the right kind of distance has been maintained in between them.
Hence it is easy to understand that the process of selecting and purchasing automatic watches is not easy and a certain amount of time needs to be invested in order to make the right selection. The incorporation of the above mentioned criteria during the process of selecting automatic watches will ensure that every person is able to get excellent value for the money which is paid.
