FAQ's
Are analog watches better than the digital watches?
Analog and digital watches actually display time differently, while one uses the traditional moving hour, minute and second hand to display time, the digital watch shows the time directly in a number format.
Though this is the primary difference there are other smaller nuances that you need to be aware of when buying a wrist watch.
If it is a battery-powered watch then the battery consumption in the digital watch is less compared with the analog variety.
Though there is no guarantee, on average the battery of an analog watch lasts for 2 years whereas the battery life of digital watches is around 4 to 5 years.
The other advantage of a digital watch is that it can offer a variety of functions while the analog variety has restricted display options.
In short, the choice of digital or analog is based on the purpose of use. The truth, however, is that the traditional and aesthetic analog watches are more popular and coveted.
What is the Chrono feature in watches?
To understand this we will have to first talk a little bit about the analog and chronograph functionality.
Analog watches display time with the help of the second and minutes hand, the chronograph however does not just give the time it measures the time.
The Chrono feature in a watch primarily will help you measure the time-lapse and not just the time. So, most of the watches with Chrono feature work as a stopwatch.
Is a brass casing better than stainless steel casing?
Both brass and stainless steel are alloys. In brass cases, a special layer called patina is formed, a layer that forms over time and adds a unique vintage feel to your watch.
It also protects it from corrosion, but this layer can be wiped clean with specific brass cleaning chemicals as well.
So, if you do not want the antique look and feel on your watch you should opt for the stainless steel casing.
But again for the divers brass casing is better (bronze is best as it has more copper). This is because copper is less susceptible to corrosion from seawater.
