Watch

timekeeping · wearable technology · history

Wristwatch design. A wristwatch wraps around your wrist with a strap or band and is built tough enough to keep accurate time even when you're running, playing, or moving around.

Pocket watch tradition. Pocket watches are watches stored in your pocket and usually connected to your clothing with a chain, and they were super popular before wristwatches became common.

Stopwatch specialty. A stopwatch is a special kind of watch that measures how long something takes, like timing how fast you run 100 meters or how long you can hold your breath.

Consistent movement. Watches are designed to stay accurate even when you're jumping and moving, thanks to clever engineering inside that keeps everything ticking at the same steady rate.
