This is a cool fun article I came across, click on this link above to check it out.  It talks about the different types of watches out there that you most likely did not know about.  One of the unique things about watches is you can buy them for 3 dollars, or thousands of dollars.  They are simple, yet their designs can extend to forever.  There is always room for improvement.  This article talks about certain types of watches such as : LCD watches with crystal displays, quartz watch (runs on batteries), mechanical watch (operates with a set of gears), diving watch (water resistant up to 100 meters).
