Answers to Questions!
The Watchmeister received a few questions at his e mail box and has decided to answer them here! Question 1 was from a J. K. in Las Vegas, or as I like to call it Lost Wages Nevada, J. K. asked what the advantage was to buying more than one watch at a time? Well, J, I know I covered that in a previous blog but I will be happy to cover it again for you. You would never have only one shirt, or one pair of pants in your wardrobe. Generally, you try to keep enough of a variety of clothing in your wardrobe to cover a variety of situations. Formal occasions, suit and tie, business casual, vacation, or just loafing at home. Well, the same idea goes for watches. You need enough to cover you in that same variety of situations. A nice leather band analog watch goes great with a suit and tie. A rubber digital waterproof is great for a day at the beach. And you may need both a brown and a black leather band analog watch to go with different color suits. Remember J. K., when you buy a watch, you are not only buying a device that tells time, you are also investing in a piece of jewelry, and that will appreciate in value over time.
I have another question from an A. S. in Sacramento California, they want to know what the purpose of a “bling” watch is. That is a good question, let me see if I can come up with a good answer! Watches are generally one of three forms, analog, digital and ana-digi, a combination of both. Straight analog is usually just normal watch hands and a sweep second hand. Digital is usually just a plain old liquid crystal display. Bling just means that the watch could be inset with precious stones, many of the very flashy and very expensive analog ladies watches can have several carats worth of diamond chips inlaid around the crystal, or watch face. This is extremely flashy, usually very expensive if real diamonds are used and not paste or fake diamonds, the flashiness gives that watch it’s bling!
The last question that I will answer for today, there will be more as the Watchmeister is growing in popularity. This one is from an L. L. in Oak Park, Illinois who asks, what is the advantage of an ana-digi combination over a straight analog or a straight digital? That’s an easy one. A combination makes it easy to tell the time with a fast glance at the hands in daylight, but hands on a watch, even the so called luminous ones, are sometimes difficult to see at night. Therefore, by adding a digital capability where you just press a button on the watch and the digital face lights up, you can see the time easier at night than with plain analog or plain digital. There are some digitals without a back light on the digital face, I would be careful when buying one like that unless you only plan on using it in the daytime when the digital numbers can be read.
