| How to Buy a Watch |
|
Calendar Calendar watches—have a feature that shows the day of the month and often the day of the week and the year. There are several types of calendar watches. Some show the date and day of the week with subdials and analog hands. Others have a scale on the outer rim of the watch face numbered from 1 to 31 for the days of the month. Others show the day, date and sometimes the year digitally through an aperture on the watch face. Moon phase watches—have a window in a watch face that shows which phase the moon is in. A disk beneath the window with two pictures of a moon, rotates as the month progresses revealing gradually larger or smaller segments of the picture. Travel Multi-Zone watches—show the current time in two or more time zones simultaneously. World timer watches—watches with a dial usually on the outer edge of the watch face that tells the time in up to 24 time zones around the world. The time zones are represented by the names of the cities printed on the bezel or the dial. The wearer reads the hour in a particular time zone by looking at the scale next to the city that the hour hand is pointing to. The minutes are read as normal.
