Watch knowledge

If someone asks you the time, do you look at your mobile phone or watch?

I remember seeing such a sentence: "smart phones are the most popular and favorite technology products so far. Their rapid popularization threatens the survival of a series of products such as watches and alarm clocks." It's true that today, as an hour meter tool, watches are no longer necessary. Not only mobile phones, iPad, Walkman and other electronic products can see time, but time information is everywhere. However, the watch is not only not eliminated, and even by more and more people's pursuit and love, this is why?

Who invented the watch?

Peter Henlein invented the first watch, a pocket watch, in 1505. He used mechanical principles, such as pendulums and gears, to measure time. Watches evolved from being worn by aristocrats to becoming fashion and status objects for everyone. The watch industry developed rapidly during the industrial revolution, and Swiss watches became dominant. Today, watches range from mechanical to smart and are designed to meet the needs of customers, like Wishdoit watches.

Can a mechanical watch tell the direction?

Now that information and technology are so advanced, do we need a mechanical watch? Of course we do, because it not only has the function of reading the time, but also can use the pointer of the mechanical watch to distinguish the direction and save itself when it is critical. In remote places, the signal is still very weak, so the mobile phone signal will not be accepted. So mechanical watches are also like compasses. When we go hiking or get lost, we can borrow a mechanical watch to tell the direction.
