Some of the different types of diamond watches you can buy are kinetic, manual, battery operated, and automatic. Automatic diamond watches are set by the movement of your hand. A kinetic watch is basically the same as an automatic watch, except it will store energy within itself, allowing your watch to run much longer before it moves again. Manual watches need to be manually wound up daily to keep the watch active. Battery operated watches will keep time until the battery dies out and needs to be replaced.
There is a great deal of variety in styles of diamond watches. Some have 12 diamonds on the face, one for each time on the watch. On the other hand, the front of the watch may be entirely decked out with diamonds around the whole bezel. Many things affect the cost of a diamond watch such as size, clarity, and the number of diamonds.
The types of bands on the diamond watch will affect the price too. Some people like flashy band with some diamonds on it, while others find a simple leather band to be the better alternative. You may also choose from different types of latches, and for a diamond watch, a safety chain is highly recommended.
Keeping your diamond watch in top shape will require regular maintenance and proper care. Check out the following tips to help your diamond watch stand the tests of time.
1. An automatic watch may still require winding a couple of times a week if you don't wear it every day. Give your watch a few manual windings every couple of weeks though, even if you do wear it daily. You can do this by simply turning the post that sets the day on your watch. This is important if you want the mechanisms to run smoothly for as long as possible.
2. Try not to wear an automatic watch when you are playing sports or anything that requires lots of arm movement. Heavy arm movements may damage the mechanisms within the watch.
3. With the exception of leather, most watch bands can be removed and cleaned with a mild soap and water. You can also help avoid regular full cleanings by brushing the back of the watch off with a soft, clean cloth when you remove the watch at night. This will help prevent dirt and such from building up.
4. It will be much easier to clean the diamonds on your diamond watch if the diamonds are located on a bezel that can be taken off. If they can't be removed, then care must be taken not to get the entire watch wet. Be wary of water! Even water resistant diamond watches can get water under the crystal. You will then start to develop condensation inside the watch and that is extremely unattractive. A moist cloth with some jewelry cleaning solution will be best for polishing your diamonds. If dirt is lodged between them, you can use a toothpick to carefully flick it out of crevices. However, despite all these great tips, you may want to just take your watch to a dealer for a proper professional cleaning.
5. If you have a battery-operated watch, have the watch serviced when you take it in to have the battery replaced. Remember, you will always want your battery installed by a professional, especially when dealing with diamond watches. If you change the battery on your own, you may compromise the watches water resistance and that's definitely not something you want to be doing.
6. Avoid getting chemicals, makeup, and harsh substances on diamond watches.
