Watches of today are not only functional accessories which are supposed to tell you what time it is, but the designs in watches which are available, are blurring the distinction between watches and jewelery. Their function of primarily telling the time has somewhat taken a back seat and now, they are a style statement, a life style product and to a great extent go on to define the character of the person wearing it. This can be substantiated by the fact, that a humble wrist watch can be bought for something as little as a few hundred rupees and as much as a few hundred million as well.
Today, we have a wrist watch style for every occasion and to suit every womans myriad moods. It is indeed popular and fashionable to have as many to suit your taste and match your outfit. Most watches come with adjustable straps: the straps could be made of metal, plastic or leather: some even are worn as clasp bracelets. Most watches these days are battery run, or use the Quartz technology, however, you still do have vintage watches which need to be manually wound every day to tell you the time. You even have mechanical watches these days which start working only when you strap them on! Eco drive watches which absorb light through natural sources such as sunlight or even artificial light to keep them going are also quite popular with the environment friendly. The most accurate time telling machines are the battery operated ones.
