There are several things to consider when looking for a watch whether you are choosing one for yourself or buying it for a friend or relative. Probably the most important factor is the look of the watch, to this end you are either looking for a digital or analogue watch. If you are choosing an analogue watch you have the choice of one that is powered a number of ways including the traditional wind up, battery, solar and kinetic. With a digital watch they are all pretty much battery powered, modern batteries tend to last quite a while although with really cheap watches the batteries tend to run out quite quickly.
One feature many people are often confused about if they are not regular watch users is the hand movements on analogue watches. There are two types both mechanical and quartz, the difference between the two is that a quartz watch will have a smooth hand movement whilst a mechanical watch will have the more common second ticking movement. Quartz movement watches tend to be more expensive and are often missing from many fake watches from the Far East.
