Watch dial as the main selection criterion

Buying a watch (whether it's a wristwatch, alarm clock or wall-mounted), we often pay attention to the external performance, design, firm, price. At the same time, often losing sight of the watch dial itself, and in fact, depending on how convenient it is, the main function of the mechanism depends. How to choose the right clock to get from them not only aesthetic pleasure, but always to keep up with the times?

Types and features

Most often there are models in which the clock face is represented as digital, analog or their symbiosis. Digital dispenses without arrows, the time is identified by the numbers displayed on the LED or LCD screen. Analog - a traditional option with minute, hour and second hands. The combination of both types is characteristic for special-purpose watches, for example, sports.

Beauty and practicality

One more like mechanical models, others are fans of electronic modifications. Buying any of the options, it should be borne in mind that the dial of the watchman must meet the task set before the walkers. In the event that the chronometer will perform a predominantly decorative function, then, of course, that the design of the case will be of paramount importance. For a living room or a library in a classical style, a cuckoo clock is an excellent solution, and if space permits, floor-standing, with a beautiful fight. The kitchen will play with new colors, if you hang on the wall a model decorated with coffee beans, vanilla sticks and anise stars. For the high-tech style, ultra-modern examples of glass and chrome, of an original and technological appearance, are suitable: transparent, without a case, showing time in different belts. In this case, the dial of the sentry plays a secondary role, and there are no special requirements for it.

Special Purpose

Another thing, say, an alarm clock. Even in a half-dozing, glancing at him with a look, you should easily see what time it is now. Therefore, the dial of the sentry in it is preferable to the simplest, without superfluous details. Electronic alarm clock is good in that its figures can be easily seen in the dark, and a pleasant glow from the scoreboard can perform the function of a night lamp. More convenient is the 24-hour format. Sometimes you wake up and you can not immediately realize what is behind the window: morning, evening, night? Still "today" or already "tomorrow"? In addition, electronic models have a louder signal of a special tonality, which can only be disabled manually. If you put it in a couple of steps from the bed, then the chances to oversleep will be minimal, because you have to get up to remove the annoying squeak, and during this time the thought will start that it is time to wake up finally.

Which is better?

Which is better to choose a dial of a watch: round, square, with Roman or Arabic numerals? This, of course, is a matter of taste. If we are talking about wristwatches, then the round ladies watch looks softer, feminine, and men's are conservative and respectable. In addition, this form is familiar to the eye, unusual details of design look more striking on it. For those who like exclusive things, the real find will be models from Iran Kian. The dial of a watch without arrows is nothing compared to a clock without a dial. The uniqueness of his creation is that the models, instead of the usual disc with figures, have in their place absolutely clear glass. However, this does not mean that this accessory can not be used for its intended purpose. Time indicates two glowing stripes located on the outer edge of the glass edge.
