The sports watch vs. The traditional wristwatch

For centuries, the primary purpose of a wristwatch was to provide accurate timekeeping. However, in the 21st century, sports watches have introduced consumers to a wide range of additional features. Despite these advancements, we believe that traditional analog wristwatches are still the aristocrats of timepieces. Why? Here are some key examples we've picked out for you.

Traditional wristwatches don't need to be charged

While sports watches have long-lasting batteries, traditional quartz or mechanical watches never need to be charged – they don't have batteries. Mechanical watches keep running when worn, and even the batteries of quartz watches only need to be replaced approximately every 3-5 years. While you may not need to constantly charge a sports watch, if you want to forget about charging altogether, an analog wristwatch is the superior choice.

Elegance and timelessness

A stylish analog wristwatch is always in fashion, and when well maintained, it operates perfectly year after year, retaining its value. The mechanisms of traditional wristwatches have maintained their principles of operation for a long time – "don't fix what isn't broken."

With sports watches, it's essential to consider how long they will be supported by software updates to avoid it becoming outdated technology soon. Outdated software may lead to compatibility issues in the future with features and applications.
