What's the difference between a smartwatch and a mechanical watch
Perhaps because of the rapid advancement of technology, I am often asked whether to buy a smart watch or a mechanical watch recently. In fact, this question is not difficult to answer, because smart watches and traditional mechanical watches are not exactly the same product. That said, you might as well have both a smartwatch and a mechanical watch if you like. In terms of structure, mechanical watches and smart watches only have different design structures and product functions.
So, can smart watches compare with mechanical watches?
My answer is no. Although smart watches are very popular now, look advanced, sound cool, and even sell well, I still think smart watches cannot compare with traditional mechanical watches. It is even less likely to replace mechanical watches in the future. First of all, in terms of decoration, smart watches are not as good as mechanical watches. Although smart watches now seem to have become a fashionable single product, their avant-garde styling is loved by some fashion people. But I think fashion people cannot represent the public. There are many fashions that ordinary people cannot understand. Not to mention the shape of the smartwatch. But mechanical watches are different. Not to mention that it's worth admiring, just for the decoration. Mechanical watches are accepted by the world, you can choose exquisite and elegant, simple, cool and handsome... It can be said that there are not many smart watches with smart watch style and mechanical watch style. In terms of decoration, smart watches are too simple and do not have as many features as mechanical watches.
Judging from its decorative properties. No matter how good the nature of a smart watch is, it is also a digital product, and a good mechanical watch can be called a work of art. Whether it is the running hands or the operating movement, it gives people the unparalleled charm of smart watches. The tourbillon is composed of small parts, a unique perpetual calendar, which can be called three unique issues. It seems to have a soul and charming touch when touched lightly. As for those hollow or back mechanical watches, you can also clearly appreciate the complex movement, and the mechanical world seems to be within reach. Quiet operation and feel the passage of time. In addition, mechanical watches have an advantage that smart watches cannot match, that is, they have heritage. We often hear about a watch left by our grandfather Zeng, but smart watches, like mobile phones, are updated quickly and become obsolete quickly. Therefore, they are not only products but also handicrafts. Sometimes the production time of a mechanical watch may be replaced by a smart watch.
What’s more, even though the functionality of a smartwatch seems powerful, it’s far from mature. Unlike mechanical watches that are time-tested, it has experienced ups and downs. First of all, the power problem of smart watches has not been solved. Just like a mobile phone can see the time, but still cannot replace the watch, power is the biggest problem. Another point is that smartwatches are powerful but not complicated. Some features, like detecting whether fitness data needs to be humanized, and many others overlap with the phone. Do you really lack the time to take out your phone? Generally speaking, smart watches are in their infancy and mechanical watches have matured.
