popular watch styles are:

, italian charm, jewelry , lady , man , mariner, military, replica , sports,

Modern watches often display the day,
date, month and year, and electronic watches may have many other functions.
Most inexpensive and medium-priced watches used mainly for timekeeping are
electronic watches with quartz movements. Expensive, collectible watches valued
more for their workmanship and aesthetic appeal often have purely mechanical
movements .
An automatic or self-winding watch is a mechanical watch, whose mainspring is
wound automatically by the natural motion of the wearer's arm.
Automatic quartz is a collective term describing watch movements that combine a
self-winding rotor mechanism to generate electricity .

A chronometer watch -- also used to describe a timepiece used for celestial
navigation.-- is a watch tested and certified to meet certain precision
standards. In Switzerland, only timepieces certified by the COSC may use the
word 'Chronometer' on them.
Chronometers often included other innovations such as Hard stones such as diamond, ruby, and sapphire
to decrease friction and wear of the pivots and escapement and take advantage of the physical properties of rare metals
such as gold, platinum, and palladium. Double chronograph is a watch that includes two separate stopwatch mechanisms

Tourbillon ,

A clock is an instrument used for indicating and maintaining the time. In general usage today, however, a "clock" refers to any device
for measuring and displaying the time which, unlike a watch, is not worn on the
person.
Quartz clocks, radio clocks, radio controlled watches, and atomic clocks have
made mechanical clock-chronometers obsolete for standards use.
