Digital wristwatches: What are frequently asked questions?
Here we answer a few of the questions that are frequently asked about digital wristwatches. So that you can find the digital watch that suits you and your lifestyle perfectly.
How do digital wristwatches work?
Digital wristwatches work with a quartz oscillator. In simple terms, this is a quartz crystal that is made to oscillate with minimal voltage. These oscillations determine the time by being detected by a sensor and converted into numbers. The rhythm remains so stable that our digital clocks can display the time reliably and accurately over the long term.
Which digital wristwatches are currently trending?
Digital wristwatches in the retro design of the 1980s and 1990s are currently trending. With colourful LCD displays and durable plastic cases, they enhance any outfit with their eye-catching look. By contrast, minimalist designs with a simple and unobtrusive appearance are also popular, such as the sporty LWS-2200H-1AV with its smaller case and discreet black strap.
Are there digital wristwatches that are particularly suitable for fitness training?
Yes, there are many sporty digital wristwatches that are suitable for your fitness training, such as the LWS-2200H-8AV. Depending on the model, our fitness watches have supporting functions such as a stopwatch, pedometer, calorie counter, distance meter or heart rate monitor. They are also characterised by a high level of stability and are usually waterproof.
A digital watch for festive occasions - is that possible?
Definitely! With a digital wristwatch, you'll also cut a fine figure on formal occasions. Classic digital watches with a simple design match your wardrobe. Others enhance them with a stainless steel or gold look. The gold A1000MGA, for example, also exudes elegance as a digital watch.
What functions should digital wristwatches for outdoor use have?
Digital wristwatches for outdoor use should be designed for use in harsh environments. In addition to water resistance and stability, important functions include the ability to adjust the display brightness and a long battery life. Compass, barometer, moon phase display and tide diagrams are further useful features. The icing on the cake of a modern outdoor watch is solar operation. The PRG-340-1 is an example of such a sophisticated digital wristwatch.
