The mainspring is a coiled spring giving power to the gear train. This tightens and unwinds to create movement. Repeater So, are Pintime watches really worth it? All things considered, you are looking at a watch that definitely doesn’t hold to the highest of quality standards. For what they are though, and for such a low price, they aren’t bad really. I can’t complain. The battery life of this watch is also impressive; after two weeks of use, I have not had to replace or charge it yet! Additionally, since this watch is waterproof up to 10 ATM, I can wear it while swimming or showering without worrying about damaging it.

The most basic watch function is where it tells the time only. These kinds of watches are considered the most “dressy” / formal of all watch types.

They do possess that look, and at dirt cheap prices for that matter.

This indication on the dial can also be referred to as the day/night indicator. This allows you to see what time of day it is, based off of an image of the sun and moon.

May I add, while greatly satisfied with the guide you led with, I am vastly more so with the thought provoking lesson at your close. I mentioned I’ve long been fascinated with time and it’s keeping. When asked why, the only response I can seem to give without rendering myself speechless diving into the depths of language too inadequate to answer, is that I am baffled, intrigued, and voraciously curious about time; a concept seemingly created by man, [it is not lost on me that this in itself is a egregiously understated idea], but that he cannot control. Its the one thing we lose and can never regain. We can’t reproduce it, store it, hold it, or touch it. But we developed how to watch it, we gave it life- a name, a system, and we’ve molded our whole existence around it. It’s wildly fascinating. And then I laugh at myself, and causally say something like, “Man, whatever. All I’m saying is.. it’s F*n’ cool. Ok?”Being this cheap is a good thing, as it takes away some of the potential buyer apprehension. There is not as much to potentially lose, if you are not investing a whole lot of money into a watch anyway.

It is perfect for everyday wear and can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water. In crossing a heath, suppose I pitched my foot against a stone, and were asked how the stone came to be there; I might possibly answer, that, for anything I knew to the contrary, it had lain there forever: nor would it perhaps be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place; I should hardly think of the answer I had before given, that for anything I knew, the watch might have always been there. (…) There must have existed, at some time, and at some place or other, an artificer or artificers, who formed [the watch] for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction, and designed its use. (…) Every indication of contrivance, every manifestation of design, which existed in the watch, exists in the works of nature; with the difference, on the side of nature, of being greater or more, and that in a degree which exceeds all computation.” The main plate is the primary piece of metal that holds all the other parts of a movement together. Each part is mounted into the main plate. Mainspring

This quality is then stated to result from the intent of an intelligent designer, the craftsman who created the timepiece. The case can also come in different finishes like high-polish, smooth, matte, or a combination of any of those. The case also contains the movement itself, be it electronic (quartz) or automatic (self-winding). We’ll cover more on movements later.

I tested it multiple times in different locations, and it always kept precise time. The battery life was also very good; after wearing it daily for 4 months, I haven’t had to replace it yet. There are even some 24 hour movements (where the hour hand only rotates once per day), such as the one seen below in the vintage WWII Bulova watch.Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who’s looking for a stylish time piece with just enough finesse. Great value for money! There is not a whole lot amazing going on with these builds. Clearly, these are not, by any means high end watches. they are decent, however, for being such low priced timepieces.
