Before buying a watch, it is imperative to try it on. When choosing, focus on the following parameters:

• type of movement (quartz or mechanics);
• a bracelet;
• functional;
• glass reliability;
• design.

In quartz models, the energy source is a battery, in mechanics - a spiral spring. Both one and the second option have advantages and disadvantages, although it is difficult to notice the differences in appearance. Quartz watches are lighter and more affordable. Their deviation in accuracy is minimal. The disadvantage of such a watch lies in the fact that they are completely dependent on the battery, with a strong decrease and increase in temperature they can get lost.

Mechanical models are famous for their reliability, they are less dependent on temperature jumps. This is a status watch with high maintainability. The disadvantages of such devices are the high price, the need for manual winding and regular maintenance (cleaning, lubrication every few years), and inaccuracies in accuracy. Choosing a watch by Jacques Lemans, focus on the availability of the function automatic winding... It reduces the error of accuracy, but makes the chronometers heavier, and it is more difficult to repair such models.

Decide in advance which watch strap I want to wear it on my arm. Metal bracelets look more solid, they are known for their durability, but some find them heavy. Leather straps have become classics for a long time.

When deciding what to prefer - a steel bracelet or a leather strap, consider how often the accessory will be worn... If you regularly wear a watch with a metal bracelet, your wrist will feel uncomfortable. When choosing a strap, pay attention by width, it is important that the watch does not dangle on your hand, but also does not squeeze it. Another important selection criterion is functionality.

Decide what options in the watch will be used: is there a need for a calendar, backlight, alarm clock. For mechanical chronometers, one of the mandatory options is a power reserve sensor. It demonstrates how much remains before stopping and when winding is required.

Many people choose watches according to their hobby or profession. It is important for travelers to have a world time sensor, switching to other time zones. The most popular option for business people is a calendar, for athletes, a stopwatch.

When buying a watch, always look on the glass, it protects the dial. The Jacques Lemans brand produces models with a fairly reliable mineral glass and sapphire coating. Such "armor" is difficult to damage. The mineral "screen" can be replaced if necessary, therefore such a watch is in demand. Look also at the level of water resistance, protection from moisture is very important, because water can get on the chronometer, for example, during rain or washing hands.

You should definitely like the watch, so the design should be chosen based on individual preferences. Some like the classics, others like sports models.
