Automatic watches

An 'automatic' watch is a type of watch which is powered by the movement of the wrist. Although these days quartz watches are far more prevalent, many people still buy automatic watches.

The benefit of an automatic watch is that you do not need to change a battery. Also, the internals are all mechanical as opposed to electrical, and this is often displayed by having a see through case either at the front or back or both, so you can visibly see the moving parts. For many people, it is simply enjoyable to wear a traditional automatic watch rather than a modern quartz watch.

The downside is that they cannot store the kinetic energy for long periods of time. Most automatic watches can store charge for 30-40 hours when fully charged, so they need to be worn every day to keep them going, or you will have to reset the time. Generally, quartz watches are considered more convenient because of this.

Automatic watches are often fitted with jewels, the the number of jewels is often stated. Instead of making some of the internal parts from metal, they are often made from jewels, usually rubies. Rubies have lower friction than metal, so they take longer to wear and result in easier movement of the internal parts.

Of course, automatic and quartz are no longer the only choices. Citizen have revolutionised the watch industry with the invention of eco-drive (solar powered) - which is considered by many to be the ultimate in convenience.

Rotary Rocks Watches

Rotary Rocks watches were introduced in mid 2007. Aimed at young women, they are all made from high quality stainless steel, and they all feature genuine diamonds. The designs are intricate and unique. They are unlike other "fashion" brands, in the way that they feature Rotary's timeless classic styling combined with modern elements such as coloured straps and dials. There are currently 20 watches in the range, which may be expanded in the future. We stock all of the Rotary Rocks range and offer them to you at a discounted price, all with free next day delivery.

Rotary Rocks watches come in special green presentation boxes, with a diamond certificate and bow.

Rotary watches - Dolphin technology

In the past two years, Rotary has introduced a new technology called Dolphin. This is a technology standard developed exclusively by Rotary, which basically means your watch is water proof. It can be immersed in water completely, used for swimming and even used for water sports. However it does not mean it can be used for deep sea diving.

Using modern technology, Rotary have been able to feature Dolphin technology in nearly all of the Rotary watch range.

Generally, the only ones which do not have the Dolphin standard are those made from precious metals. Unfortunately due to the nature of gold and silver, it is not possible to make these watches to the Dolphin standard - however they are still water resistant.

This means that even fashion and dress watches can now be worn while doing activities such as washing up or showering. This is a huge development in the watch industry and gives us yet another reason to pick Rotary when choosing a watch.

What is Citizen Ecodrive?

When browsing our site, you may notice that nearly all of our Citizen watches feature Eco-drive technology. Ecodrive is a brand term for the technology used to power the watch. Instead of using a standard watch battery they are fitted with a solar panel behind the face (which is invisible) which allows light, be it natural or artificial, to charge the watch. This means that your Citizen watch will continue to function indefinitely, unless of course it is damaged or develops a fault. So you never need to change the battery.

What about if it is left in the dark? It still keeps on going. The light absorbed by the solar panel actually charges up a rechargeable battery inside the watch. This battery then steadily releases the power for months. So, not only do you never have to change the battery, you never have to wind it up or move/shake it either.

Does all this technology make the watch bigger/heavier? No. A Citizen Ecodrive watch is no larger than a standard quartz watch. In fact, Eco-drive technology is featured in Citizen's slimmest watches: The Stiletto range. These Stiletto watches are as thin as only 4mm.

Citizen are so confident in this technology that they now offer 5 year guarantees on ALL of their watches. Citizen watches use only the highest quality japanese movements - it is very rare for one to fail, even within this huge guarantee period.

Looking for a diving watch?

If you are looking for a watch that is specially made for diving, we stock the FULL range of Citizen diving watches. A divers watch is waterproof to very high pressures and may have special features such as a rotatable bezel to time your dive. Models include Aqualand and Aqualand II.

Because of their vast range, as well as being functional, Citizen diving watches can often be worn as general fashion watches.

Citizen is one of the largest producers of watches in the world, and their diving range is one of the most impressive you will find. Eco-drive technology is available in most divers watches so your watch will run continuously without a battery change.

About Seksy Watches

Priced from £40 to £60, these watches are some of the most fashionable and popular ladies watches on the market. Their attractive, colourful and stylish designs have made them extremely popular with teenage girls and young women in their 20s. The designs often included crystal stones and colourful dials.

The most popular Seksy watches are currently the eclipse models: 4798 and 4773.

The success of Seksy is expected to continue for many years, with many more new and exciting designs to come.
