I have been using a fantastic watch. This watch can produce power from the sunlight or other electric lights. It means that we don't need to replace the batteries of the watch. If this watch were left in a dark place like drawers, what do you think this watch would do? Lo and behold, it sleeps with its brain recording the time. The watch saves power and survives for 2 years with all hands stopped. When it is taken out in the light, it starts moving. If you see the moment that the watch starts moving, you might laugh at the movement. As if someone walked in on the watch and saw it dodging work, it would start moving promptly. It's funny.
One more thing. The watch automatically receives the data of the time and date by radio waves once a day. That is to say, it always ends up showing the absolutely accurate time.
The watch that never stops and never goes wrong. Watches have only to show the accurate time. If all people thought like this, the watch manufactureres would get into difficulties.
I have one more watch that is made in Switzerland. It cost 8 times more than my radio-controlled watch. This watch, TAG Heuer, looks and is really luxurious and shows the time accurately but it is inferior to the radio-controlled or radio-assisted watch in accuracy. It is only in Canada that I put this TAG Heuer on, because the radio waves from Japan can't reach Canada.
