Wrist waterproof and shockproof watches

Wrist waterproof and shockproof watches

In Soviet times, when they still didn’t know about mobile phones, buying China-made watches on the market, which were supposedly waterproof, you could easily be convinced of the opposite, simply by entering the river. Another thing - modern chronometers. In the face of the strictest competition in the form of mobile phone companies, watchmakers can no longer afford to issue a marriage. And if today you purchased a model, declared as a diving one, you can be sure that this is exactly what it is.

Features

Today, the clock is not such a necessary thing, as before - time can be viewed on a mobile phone. Now this accessory has become a rare decoration (sometimes it is an indicator of the owner’s high incomes). Today, not everyone has a watch, but because they, including diving, can be presented to a friend, colleague or relative. Although it is better to give a diving watch to someone to whom it will actually be useful:

  1. shockproof and waterproof model You can safely give a diver - it’s not for nothing that the model was named after the people of this profession;
  2. the right thing they will be for an athlete who spends most of his time in the gym and in the swimming section (such watches in the store are labeled “WR”);
  3. they will be useful for athletes which often fall (footballers, bikers);
  4. This accessory will be a great gift for the fisherman as well, especially to those who are fond of underwater fishing for catfish;
  5. such a gift will prove to be for scuba divers.

Water resistance classification

If the diving watch is marked “5 atmospheres”, it means that they are designed for a pool or a river. Of course, they will also be suitable for taking a shower after a workout - you will not need to take them off / on and worry about water not getting inside.

The “10 Atmospheres” label is suitable for diving athletes, and they can be in the water for quite a long time.

"20 atmospheres" put on professional watches, divers use them, going to the depth to the underwater reefs or to visit the sharks.

But the most solid model will have a mark of 50 atmospheres.

We need such an accessory when performing underwater work, for example, on the repair of an underwater highway.

Such watches differ in the material from which they are made. Someone likes a polymer case, someone - titanium products, electronic dial or mechanics with arrows (there are also mixed models). There are hours with a calendar, with a stopwatch, with a compass ... There is something to choose from, and everyone decides for himself - the severity of the classical style or a bright orange model.

Impact resistance in standards

Shockproof models include those models of watches whose mechanism is able to withstand the impact of an impact force on the case, from which neither the appearance of the product nor its exact operation will suffer.

It may be possible for someone from the users that when marking with “anti-shock”, this indicates that the watch is resistant to any load associated with a fall, shock or strong pressure. This is not at all the case, because shock watches are those that satisfy certain international standard values.

Standards imply the satisfaction of generally accepted minimum requirements.

As far as this or that model corresponds to them, they are tested experimentally - it looks like drawing a blow with a calculated force of 5 kJ on the case of the clock.

It is believed that the clock passed the test if the following requirements were met:

· After hitting the hull, they continue to function normally;

· If, after striking a quartz watch, their accuracy for the day did not exceed two seconds. For other types of clocks, this value is allowed in the amount of 60 seconds per day;

· If the fall of the product did not lead to such consequences as serious cosmetic damage or displacement of one or several elements.

For kids

When summer vacation is on the nose, which means the sea, games in the pools and just the most active time in the life of the children, the presence of such hours for the child will be very appropriate.

With this accessory, you can engage in sports and swim without worrying about how the watch will somehow be damaged.

Models that are not afraid of water or shock, attach the child to the wrist with a rubber strap. It is very comfortable to wear - it will not rub the skin, it will not cause allergies and will reliably hold the accessory on your hand. The children's shockproof and waterproof device is, as a rule, a multifunctional product, the design of which differs in brightness and originality.

This children's product is divided into two categories - for girls and for boys. They differ in design and decoration. For guys, the products are usually made in more restrained shades or have a camouflage coloring, geometric prints, a drawing of an animal. And for girls, as always, bright shades, butterflies, fairies, stars, etc. prevail.

Where can one buy?

Waterproof watches are sold in a watch shop, and there are many offers in online stores. These products are also sold to sports shops. By the way, they will be able to most clearly explain to you which model should be chosen in this or that case.

So, the seller may insist on buying not just waterproof watches, but that they must also be shockproof if you are going to conquer the depths of the seas. And this is not a desire to tear off more money from you, but a necessity, otherwise a different model may not withstand high water pressure and fail.

What's inside?

It is clear that the clock has a mechanism that counts time. But this is a modern accessory, which means it certainly has not done without an impressive amount of electronics. In diving watches, it will be represented by a mini-computer that will measure how deep the dive occurred, what the pulse and pressure of the diver, the temperature of the water and not only.

If you get lost among the corrals, you can use the built-in compass and return to the starting point.

Manufacturers have also taken care of the illumination - after all, the sun’s rays hardly reach the bottom of the ocean. If you are an advanced diver and you are not indifferent to the time of ebbs and flows, the clock will show you the moon phases. On land, do not rush to take off these watches as unnecessary - go to rest, and the built-in alarm clock will wake you up for the next dive.

Do not rush to experiment

Suppose you are lucky enough to purchase a diving watch made by Casio. The manufacturer claims the rule by which this accessory was created. This rule is called “three dozen” and means that:

  1. the clock will fall from ten meters high;
  2. will function perfectly at a depth of 100 meters (10 atmospheres);
  3. battery charge hours enough for 10 years.

No matter how young and hot you are, how much you like extreme sports, you should not rush to conduct similar experiments.

The model will survive, today's manufacturers have repeatedly proved the viability of their promises. But you can not calculate your strength, so it's best not to risk without need.
