De-magnetizer

admin — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 08:13:28 +0000

J. Edwards wrote about an antiquated rotation on Demagnetizer and it encouraged me to carry me out had never discussed one of-magnetizer as a one of my tools, in spite to have discussed magnetism and having a discussion about of-magnetizers in the comments.

A rough synthesis on magnetism: (feel you free to read the original post for more information on the subject). The watches obtain magnetized and magnetism makes them indicate poor time. It is thus necessary to remove the magnetism of the components of watch. The steel tools become also magnetized which can be annoying.

There are two common types of of-magnetizers. The two working shafts and have their advantages and disadvantages. Easily could be also made starting from the simple provisioning available to your local store or Radio operator Shack of power supply.

The first type is one of-magnetizer model of platform. (Shown left side) you place the article on him and push the button. That is the type easiest to employ but does not seem to be as powerful as the type of rolling up and will not function for tools larger than the platform.

The type of rolling up is a little more crafty one to function. You must insert the article in rolling up and light it. You then withdraw slowly the article along the axis of rolling up until it is several feet starting from rolling up. You then stop rolling up and magnetism went.

To maintain the accuracy of mechanical watches, take the simple way when

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:50:11 +0000

Mechanical watches traveltime accuracy can not be corrected to achieve or maintain

Why do I say this? That is because the mechanical watches away in constant change, the relative tightness of the state of a clockwork, a fixed location, a kind of temperature it can temporarily accurate, but the situation vis-à-vis other conditions, there will be changes, immediately not the case. In other words, even if the correction is to watch the second is not bad, you find that it will not be maintained, the accuracy will always be fluctuations in the transient and changing. Moreover, the impact of the accuracy of watches there are many other factors, we can see that the error can only watch it go is a unit of time and the average error.

Watch full string in the spring when the best accuracy of travel time

To get their watches away is accurate, it must spring as far as possible on the full, this automatic watch is even more important. Of the automatic winding watches tightened up and the degree of wear and your time and sports wear is directly related to the premise that there is a need to ensure adequate amount of exercise.

Different locations under the watch have different travel time accuracy

This is what we call a watch position error, better watch factory in the three temperatures and five under the direction test, the five locations are: surface (dial up), under the surface, the next (3:00 under), the left (under 12:00), put on (under 9:00) Only the right location (under 6:00) is not commonly used (unless you put table to one side or the right hand on the palm of the hand). According to statistics, the majority of people, in one day watch the surface of the location of the use of time for about 35 percent to 30 percent left to under 25%, 10% other locations, so make use of the watch in different locations of the different travel time accuracy , you can watch the speed to correct the trend.

Be the first to observe the test, and then recorded

Testing method is very simple, need to form the first full spring, and then a standard time-alignment being tested watches the hours, minutes and seconds, so that they synchronize, and then the first location is placed in the plane away after 24 hours, and then the standard longer than on the error and recorded. Repeat the above process was followed, respectively, under the watch face, the next to left, to go on location error is tested and recorded.

For example: static test results is that the surface of +20 seconds / day, the surface of +20 seconds / day, the next -5 seconds / day, the left +25 seconds / day, the right +10 seconds / day, resulting in watch the actual travel time error of wearing +15 seconds / day.

Took off his watch at the position to choose a watch placed to correct the error

Take the situation in the above example, it is clear that the best examples should be at hand to put down in order to help reduce travel time watches the accumulated error. Only errors watches watches error causes and characteristics of their own to have a precise understanding, it can better serve you.

How to extend battery life quartz watches

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:47:43 +0000

Quartz watch battery life depends largely on two factors: (1) the battery capacity, (2) watch movement of the power circuit. The greater the capacity of batteries, circuit power consumption of the smaller, then the longer battery life.

Watch battery with mA-hour capacity (maH) that, depending on battery size, the general capacity of silver oxide battery is in a few milliamperes to a few dozen milliamperes between the size of the larger capacity is more Great. Watch the power circuit are microamp level, the current level of IC circuits can be done about a microampere. Theoretically, the battery life equivalent to battery capacity divided by the circuit power consumption.

Watches used in the most conventional silver oxide battery is the battery, it has small size, large capacity and stable discharge characteristics. In other words, silver oxide battery will not like an ordinary dry-cell batteries, the voltage will gradually decrease with the use. Silver oxide battery model specification is very large, there are dozens of kinds of bar, with the more common in Japan, the brand are: Panasonic, Sony, Maxell, Seiko, etc., produced in Switzerland is called “RENATA”, It is independent of the battery packaging.

From the use of the situation, RENATA batteries more expensive, more refined appearance, but it seems that the battery sealing performance is not as good as Japan’s, climbing base occurred from time to time, all the Swiss watches are quartz with Renata, and Japan Seiko brand of batteries for the best. Need to know, even with a battery specifications, different manufacturers are not the same battery capacity, there is a silver oxide battery indicator tables, which are given all the battery voltage, size and capacity of the detailed data.

Quartz watches now circuit are variable width, and the circuit of the circuit power consumption is directly related to the output pulse width, pulse width the greater the power consumption is greater, usually watches the calendar for the time or place when the vertical position, circuit to the stepper motor pulse output will become larger, so take off the watch at night must do it horizontal.

Any semiconductor silicon materials are sensitive to temperature, the higher the temperature, the greater the current. Therefore placed in a watch can not be long-term Heating near any heat source and place.
Any semiconductor silicon materials are sensitive to light, especially sunlight, especially in liquid crystal display or LCD + indicators Display Type represented by the quartz watch, because light may be transmitted to the watch circuit, so increasing the possibility of circuit power consumption Therefore, to avoid long-term exposure to watch the sun strong following.

Humid environment on the quartz watch against relatively large, because there is no absolute sealed watch, once the water vapor or moist air to enter the watchcase inside, depending on the extent of serious corrosion of steel parts will be at the very least, a great increase in watches circuit power consumption.

Where there are electric pointer adjustment, with trouble, with light, elevation, temperature, etc. Guide to the watch Additional features should minimize the use of the frequency, in particular to make sound and lighting features, it is thousands of times the power consumption of large watch in normal power consumption.

Therefore, when the battery replacement is necessary to pick a good quality brand batteries, pay attention to peacetime environmental requirements to wear watches. There is no doubt that the only way to make the battery life was extended.

Swiss movement ETA watches introduced

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:34:12 +0000

Swiss movement ETA watches can be said to be a huge family, there are a wide variety of models of all sizes, producing a very long history in the 70s of the last century has been formed on the system and scale. In fact, we are now common to watch the movement, at which time there have been. At that time, the Swiss watch industry there are a lot of other movement manufacturers, age 70-80 in the last century, imports of watches from Switzerland can be seen. Although the time for essential imports which are the general form of the brand, but are basically the hands of string, movement manufacturers in addition to ETA, there are relatively well-known AS, FHF, ST, F and so on, then Switzerland is said to have more than 600 home watch manufacturer, somewhat well-known watch manufacturers, many of whom are self-produced movement, known as “the all-around plant”, the output is also a great, such as the well-known there ENICAR., ROAMER, but basically to the mid-80’s movement do not , and have become assembly plant. Apart from the impact of quartz watches, the production cost is too large, the reasons for lack of competitiveness is, in fact, the most important factor, I would like to be not as good as ETA movements or design so reasonable, the accuracy of travel time reliability as ETA, and now the machine Core (also including the quartz watch movement) is basically dominated the ETA.

ETA mechanical watch movement characteristics:

1, eccentric drive design, there is no center round the splint, so that movement can be done relatively thin.

2, large diameter round bar boxes and large diameter balance wheel, the length of travel time in general more than 40-50 hours in between the relatively large output torque spring, balance wheel moment of inertia than a larger swing is relatively high, the stability of travel time, anti – interfere good.

3, relatively easy to dismantle and assemble, repair time can even be in the washing machine table to “whole” cleansing. (Only to be demolished and the balance wheel round box, not the demolition drive round)

4, parts common good interchangeability.

5, would easily give rise to all types of functions and additional.

6, large output, low cost, relatively cheap.

The same ETA movement, different grades, one of OMEGA or TUDOR movement ETA2892-2 and other brands of watches, the general movement from their appearance alone will be able to clear distinction.

1, first of all, that is, the modified splint grinding. For example, there are scale patterns, so very beautiful, also very bright, even the screws are polished; splint there are still many lettering and logos can be said to be beautiful works of art.

2, Second, key components, materials technology are also different. Better brand watches will table their own brand names carved on the steep bank on the automated, low-block is used at most watch paint printed on the automatic Tuo, or simply do not play marking; lowest block is the ETA movement is in the Far East regional assembly, the splint is not gold-plated, with a triangular spring earthquake, such as the 2688 and 2846 movement.

mechanical watches have a magic bullet

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 07:12:17 +0000

While mechanical watches without batteries, but some simple maintenance is still very necessary, and periodic maintenance on the extension of mechanical watches, watches life and movement to maintain a good state of very helpful. If every day wear watches, watch the best maintenance method is tight about two weeks each spring to ensure its smooth functioning of the normal gear. Gently rotating until the crown can feel the urgency slightly. If not wear a watch every day, it should also make sure that each winding of at least two weeks time, to ensure the continued functioning of the watch, that is, the internal mechanical devices to ensure the normal operation accurately.

         When the ongoing arm of the sports, it is recommended not to wear mechanical watches, as the continuing destruction of the arm swing will watch the movement. Must watch at all times to ensure dry. If we are not careful touch of water, use dry soft absorbent cotton cloth will watch carefully and thoroughly clean the water in order to avoid the occurrence of rust. This is to ensure that the watch has a good key to long-lasting life.

         Watch the best dry cleaner tool is a soft absorbent cotton and toothpicks. Use toothpicks to form body strap caught Department remove accumulated dirt, and wipe clean with a soft cloth. If the watch is water resistant type, you can occasionally with warm water and gentle cleaning solution on the watch for cleaning. However, if the bracelet is leather or non-metallic, they can only carry out the washing on the table body.

Outdoor sports watches introduced Compare!

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 06:17:42 +0000

Currently in the market, many types of outdoor watches, but most only have the appearance of outdoor watches, rather than a real sport watches. Here, we have to introduce some real outdoor watches – CASIO (Casio), SUNNTO, EMPEX, CITIZEN ( Citizen) and so on.

Casio to enter the Chinese market earlier, and its Series G-SHOCK has long been known, but more on the side of those who watch fashion. Land-based anti-series with mud, Antimagnetic, electronic compass, world time, temperature measurement and other functions, also has automatic backlight, low battery warning and other auxiliary functions. Ocean series has a 200 meters waterproof, diving record tides display, automatic light-emitting functions, suitable for surfing, canoeing and sailing enthusiasts to use. Extreme sports series is snowboarding, skateboarding enthusiasts preferred. In addition to conventional function is characterized by the largest earthquake, and anti-low-temperature -20 ℃.

Casio introduced in 1999 to measure the pulse of the watch, this table can be equipped with sensors to detect the activities of hemoglobin fingertips and take advantage of information derived from the test pulse is calculated. This design helps to wear at any time in the campaign to control their own physical condition, is a very practical function. And Casio’s new GPS functionality with outdoor sports watch is the combination of the latest technology to enable the wearer to keep their own position, in the wild are very practical, and is a great outdoor sports watches. The only shortcoming is the relatively high price.

For the vast number of outdoor activities and travel lovers, Casio PRO-TRER series of watches is their choice. This series of watches moderate price, remember when the accuracy of hundredth of a second, along with measurement of pressure, temperature, altitude functions, and can store multiple sets of data, are equipped with electronic compass. These outdoor activities for travelers and lovers is no longer convenient economical. But it also is not perfect, on the measured altitude is concerned, the early watches, such as 1170ATC-1100 , the ceiling height is only 4000 meters; watch the compass ring is made from plastic, which will soon be the use of aging; watch the lighting is button style. These are affecting the PRO-TRER in outdoor use. However, the RRT – 411J series can measure the altitude has been increased to 6000 meters, the temperature measuring range is -10 ℃ ~ 60 ℃. At the same time with the automatic backlight function (as long as to make watches with the horizontal plane into a 40 °, will be able to start the lighting for two seconds). Its compass as well as Table circle made of metal, leather strap material, cloth, hybrid, polyurethane, titanium, etc., in the author when writing this article, from a friend that saw a Casio PRO-TRER the new scale, model 2271 PRG-40, the altitude can be measured to 9000 meters.

Japan, another specifically for outdoor activities, the use of watch lovers – EMPEX, Casio watches overcome in the measurement of the lack of altitude. This watch in the measurement of elevation on the scope of a great breakthrough, reaching -999 m ~ 9000 meters (in the top of Everest can also be used). And overcome the Casio to 5 meters as a unit of measurement of the defects, to 1 m for units of measurement. At the same time, possess a high level of compensation (1000 m ± 5% ± 5 meters, 1000 meters above ± 3% ± 5 m), with high record function, can record to reach the maximum height. Also has the weather forecast functions, can be 8-12 hours of weather forecasting (but null and void during the typhoon season). Pressure measurement range of 300hpa ~ 1100hpa, 1hpa for units of measurement. Temperature range from -20 ℃ ~ 50 ℃, 0.1 ℃ for the units of measurement. Velcro strap for the design, wearing an extremely convenient and quick. Table to bring the compass directions can be measured with a life of waterproof function, backlight, night can also use. Shell material ABS resin, can replace the batteries, weighs just 48 grams.

The truly vast number of mountain climbing, adventure enthusiasts held in esteem among the Finnish-made watches Suunto. The company is a professional manufacturer of outdoor supplies company, the world’s best on the compass from the company. The company launched in 1998 multifunction series of outdoor watches, each have their own focus. Because of its functional integrity and autonomy (self-replacement of batteries) has been welcomed by users around the world.

VECTOR Series measurable altitude range of -500 m ~ 9000 m, temperature range of -20 ℃ ~ 60 ℃, with a barometer. Electronic compass can accurately positioning the figures. Another rate rise shows that features such as weather forecasts, waterproof 30 meters. Dial lighting used during the hours of darkness to see the surface is also displayed. 3800 can store more data. Plastic strap, specifications diameter of 50 millimeters, 15 millimeters thick, is an essential equipment climbing enthusiasts.

ALTMAX series with the VECTOR function, a decrease of the compass function, the use of rubber straps and velcro strap. This watch for skiers often chosen.

NAVITEC series has super-directional capabilities, using electronic digital display compass. Because it is designed for orienteering sport design earthquake is particularly remarkable, black dial has lighting function, 30 meters waterproof, can store multiple sets of data.

Regatta series designed for nautical sports. World, designed to wear in any one place can accurately see the local time, at the same time in addition to conventional features, its greatest feature is a remarkable feature orientation.

X-LANDER series function and VECTOR series of the same, but its appearance is more characteristic of the appearance of stronger titanium alloys, crystal glass dial Jingying more beautiful, waterproof leather strap made for.

VECTOR Series ADVIZDR with the exception of the functions, with remote sensing licensing POLALR measurable heart rate test with heart rate, heart rate with alarm function, enough to be known as the outdoor activities of private coaches.

Recently heard CITIZEN (Citizen) also launched their campaigns watch connoisseur type PROMASTER (Leopard) series. Ultra-tough series table JQ8020-52L and JN3010-52L is a suitable field experts through movement-based campaign-style watches. It combines indicators of time and electronic display two functions of time, this portfolio is in line with the general habit of View the time, but also straightforward, user-friendly and difficult situation in the wild and changeable environment anytime, anywhere control over time. Aerospace series tables JN0004-78E and JN0040-58L gives the first impression is more like an aircraft instrument panel, rather than a watch. Densely scale and the pointer, as well as the LCD screen can show the world, followed by 30 cities. LCD digital display can be easily in remote time and local time exchange, even if the day around the world are nothing to worry about at a loss.

Outdoor sports watch for a very broad choice, the majority of outdoor activities lovers’ll be spoiled for choice if we are not to pick the best and most suitable approach to its own needs, a regular participant in the activities and conduct a comprehensive analysis of product performance. I hope you all lovers of outdoor activities for their selection to a practical, durable, easy-to-use outdoor sports watches.
