Watches with a clear time display

Posted on 17 December 2019 at 2:45 PM

Watches are increasingly seen as jewelery and accessory, while watches used to be instruments for determining the exact time and date. Of course, contemporary watches show the time, but the shape, style and design are equally important and perhaps more important. Simply because you can see the time everywhere, in the car, in the office, on your phone and on TV. Nevertheless, watches are still a perfect accessory for timekeeping. But there are big differences in time display. Seeing the time on a watch quickly and easily is important. What should you pay attention to when purchasing a watch that must have a clear time display?

First of all, we recommend looking at the size of the watch. It is of course more difficult to see on a small watch than on a larger watch. After all, with a larger watch (think 40mm case diameter and larger) the hands and the indexing are more visible. Good indexing naturally also helps. When the hour and minute display is clearly visible, this provides convenience in seeing the time quickly.

The design of the dial is also very important. A simple watch face without too many accents is easier to read than a busy watch face with all kinds of texts, symbols and dark colors. A good example of a watch that has a very clean face so that you can see the time easily and quickly is an Eone Time watch. This watch brand from the United States produces watches with a modern and simple design where you can see the current time, but more importantly, you can also feel it. This is ideal for people with reduced vision or who are even blind.

Use of color on the dial of a watch is another factor that determines whether a watch is easy to read. With much the same use of color of the dial and hands there is not enough contrast, so the hands fall away against the dial. It is then very difficult to see what time it is. That is why brands such as Davosa, Fortis and Meccaniche Veneziane always use contrasting colors for their dials and hands. This makes the hands and indexing stand out particularly well compared to the dial.

Good visibility of time in the dark is sometimes underestimated. Yet it is nice if you can also see the time when it is dark. For example if you are walking, driving a car or exercising. The better watches use SuperLuminova, a material with which the indexing and hands light up in the dark. This way you can also see the time when there is little light.

Some people like to wear an analog watch and others a digital watch. In terms of time display there is a difference. An analog watch displays the time via the hands and a digital watch via a digital display. A digital watch is actually a watch with a piece of electronics. One would rather look at hands to read the time, the other at a digital display. What exactly is clearer? That varies per user. But perhaps a digital watch offers just a little more precision.

The famous watch brand Rolex has several watches with a date magnifier so that the date display is magnified and extra good to read. This is a handy feature if you want to see the date quickly. The date magnifier is a characteristic of the watch brand Rolex that has become very famous and is highly appreciated by the true Rolex enthusiasts.

Watches with a clear time display ensure that you can see the time quickly and easily. This is not only comfortable but also very useful for example if you want to consult the time quickly without losing focus on another task. For example, while driving, exercising or watching a movie. A clear time display is very important for the visually impaired. The Eone Time watch brand is actually the pur sang watch brand that specifically produces watches for this.
