Time is the only resource that cannot be restored. It is so fleeting that sometimes 24 hours in a day are not enough for us. Perhaps, it was precisely so that humanity could at least somehow plan their daily routine that wall clocks were invented.

 A practical accessory found in every home and even office. An aesthetically attractive device can not only become a reliable assistant in tracking fleeting time, but also decorate the interior. Since today manufacturers offer a colossal variety of models, it will not be difficult for you to purchase a clock for the wall in accordance with the style of the space.

 However, first let's look at the design features of the devices. An indispensable device in everyday life consists of the following parts:

·        circuit or basic mechanism;

·        information board or dial;

·        frame.

 Projection-type products, traditional mechanical or electronic - the choice of wall clock largely depends on your personal preferences, but do not forget about the technical characteristics, manufacturing materials and other criteria that affect the durability of the device.

 It would seem that purchasing a useful device is a simple task. But only specialists know how to choose a clock for the wall and not make a mistake buying one or another model as says in Garmin manual. To ensure that this vital accessory serves you faithfully for many years, let’s understand the intricacies of choosing a product.

Types of mechanisms and their features

 Of course, the visual component of the device is an important selection criterion, because the design is selected depending on the style of the interior. But those who hear even a quiet “tick-tock” would like to give preference to a laconic, but silent copy that will not irritate the nervous system. The following types of mechanisms are found in modern models:

1.    Mechanical. The device operates using the energy of a charged spring. This category most often includes metal watches that last for many years; they are also repairable. Operating costs are kept to a minimum, but they look like a status item, the value of which only increases with age. As for the downsides, mechanical wall clocks with a dial are inferior in accuracy to quartz and electronic models. Another drawback is the need for a spring mechanism to be constantly wound.

2.    Quartz. This type of mechanism consists of an electronic unit made of quartz and powered by batteries. Quartz watches are considered the most popular and affordable. But besides this, they have many advantages. For example, high precision, which is an important criterion for choosing a device. It is also worth noting that you will not need to constantly wind your quartz wall clock, but you will need to replace the battery periodically.

3.    Electronic. Like the previous version, as says in Lenovo manual this mechanism is equipped with a quartz-type generator and a battery. Digital wall clocks are affordable, accurate, and quiet. Often, progressive specimens have additional functions: measuring pressure and temperature, the ability to be used as a counting device (calculator) or a record book. As for the disadvantages, wall clocks without a dial also require periodic battery replacement, and they are also sensitive to electromagnetic fields.

Types of wall clocks

 There are many parameters according to which clocks on the wall can be divided into types: shape, design, color design. However, we should not forget that today a wide variety of materials are used to make modern watches. When choosing a device, someone does not pay attention to this criterion, but simply purchases the first copy they like. But if you want to buy a practical accessory that will serve you for many years, then give preference to more reliable and durable models.
