Hands
Watch hands are the indicators mounted on the dial of a timepiece that point to the hours, minutes, and seconds.
Cell Battery
A battery is a hardware device that stores chemical energy and changes it into electrical energy to power electronic items.
LCD
Watch LCD (liquid crystal display) screens show digital time and data clearly while using very little battery power.
Strap
Watch strap is to secure the watch head comfortably and safely to your wrist so you can tell time.
Quartz
A quartz watch is a timepiece regulated by an electronic oscillator powered by a battery and a tiny vibrating quartz crystal.
Automatic
An automatic watch is a mechanical timepiece that winds itself using the natural movement of your wrist, meaning it does not need a battery.
Manual
A manual watch, also known as a hand-wound mechanical watch, is a timepiece that you must physically wind by turning the crown every day or two to store energy in its mainspring.
Chronograph
A chronograph watch is a timepiece that combines a standard display watch with a built-in stopwatch function to measure elapsed time.
⌚ Precise Handling & Watch Engineering
What I Learned
By disassembling and reassembling a digital watch, I developed precision handling skills and gained experience analyzing compact mechanical and electronic systems.
Skills Demonstrated
Precision tool handling
Fine motor control
