There are all types of watch on the market,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and people will choose their favorite watches that will fit specific functionality needs and style. Showy watches have a slightly smaller number of diamonds decorating the face; many people are deeply appreciate this type of watch. But other people prefer watches with plain faces that just display the time and date. After all, different people have different tastes. There are international timepieces that provide accurate time in all 24 standard time zones and all 16 nonstandard time zones and there are watches you can wear underwater without uneasying about any damage to the time piece. People have been finding ways to keep track of time for centuries including sundials.
There's a whole new generation of watches being offered and they do not require batteries or winding. Two such watches are the Citizen Eco Drive that uses solar energy to run and the Kinetic line of watches that are manufactured by Seiko. It should be no surprise that the two biggest names in watches should create an entire new time keeping technology.
Citizen's solar powered watches,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], such as the Eco-Drive will never have to have the battery replaced. The line doesn't just run from solar power. Any light source will do. They also have watches that are suitable for diving and aviation and they come in fashionable styles for both men and women. Pulsar attempted to produce watches with solar technology, but they did not have the same quality.
There is also another type of battery free watch put out by Seiko. These are called Kinetic watches. They were introduced during the late 1980s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in Germany. They are now sought after by people all over the world. It will never need batteries because of innovative technology that allows it to be powered by the movement of the wearer. The technology is so advanced that Seiko holds over 50 patents on it.
The watch contains small capacitors that the generator charges. These capacitors can store up to 6 months of power to keep the watch running even if the wearer takes it off. The watch has a pendulum that rotates. The pendulum is connected to a large gear and the gear is meshed with a small pinion. Movement from the wearer causes the pendulum to turn which in turn makes the pinion spin. The high speed that the pinion turns at, actually powers a tiny generator, which in turn charges the capacitors.
The Kinetic watches also features Seiko's unique Kinetic Auto Relay, which automatically resets the watch to the correct time. A very cool feature is that it will "sleep" after 72 for hours where no movement has passed. Other distinguishing feature is a perpetual colander. The advantage of such a calendar is that it is perfectly and perpetually accurate until 2100.
Next time you are buying a new watch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], conside a watch with one of these advanced innovations. They are designed to be super-low maintenance and environmentally friendly but never compromise on style.
