What Exactly IS A Watch?

The Watchmeister watches watches!

In most of my previous blogs here, I have stated that a watch is actually a piece of jewelry that also happens to tell time. Actually, a watch is much more than that. With the technology that exists today, there are watches that can do things unheard of even 20 years ago! You can own a watch that will save your life!  There us also a watch out there that allows you to pick up the majority of special squibs from MSN depending on your location. With those watches, you can pick up the important things like sports scores, the stock market, news headlines, election results, entertainment news but even more important than all that, you can pick up traffic alerts as to where the accidents are on the highways so that you know where to avoid driving. It will also pick up emergency weather bulletins, storms on the way, etc. Then there are pulse rate watch monitors for runners. Compass guide watches for hikers, hunters and campers. There is even a special watch for hunters that can calculate ballistics and how to fire a weapon and hopefully not miss! A small personal aside here, there is absolutely nothing wrong with hunters and hunting, provided that they are not hunting just for sport, a hunter that shoots and kills an animal had better pick it up to take home to be skinned, cut up and cooked. Fresh meat is good. Anyway back to what a watch is. There are watches with single alarm settings and on up to five or six! Those are great for appointments or medications to remind you when to take them.  And there are so many others, for me to go into them, I would be typing all night and you would be reading all night, so suffice it to say that there are all kinds of watches available for purchase. Now, the jewelry aspect of a watch. or the bling as it were. I must admit, that it is primarily the ladies watches that represent the best of the investment into watches, they tend to lean more towards the jeweled end. So when I say that a watch is also investment, that is what I mean. Ladies watches that are heavily jeweled, or mens that can also be jeweled, but far less than a ladies watch.For some reason, men do not seem to go much for the mega bling multi jeweled watches, men prefer the more subdued. Another part of a ladies watch that can bring the investment to a higher plane is the band. Men’s watches if the bands are not leather, rubber, resin, or any non metallic material usually have bands made of stainless steel, while a ladies band can be made of sterling silver, white gold, or even in some rare cases, platinum. Those are the watches that are an investment in a piece of jewelry that just happens to also tell time. Finally, one other thing can make both mens and womens watches worth the tag of investment, and that is the movement. Many watches made today are still like the watches of old, they are made with jeweled movements for better accuracy. So, when the time comes for you to acquire a watch, remember that you are still making an investment.  So you will do what I do and go to the on line site that carries in stock and ready to ship, some of the finest examples of the watchmakers art, even though a lot of it is done by machine now.  And where you are going also offers some of the most competitive prices in the entire industry.And they also offer you the opportunity to make them an offer, and if the price is reasonable, you might just get the watch at the price you want.  And the place, www.kenmarwatches.com.
