Wearing a watch is the simplest way to add style to your day.
As per media reports, Titan Company reported a 52.5% year-on-year rise in net profit to ₹1,091 crore for the June quarter, driven by strong performances in its jewellery and watches segments despite elevated gold prices. Revenue from the core jewellery business grew 19%, while the watches and wearables segment posted one of its best quarters yet, up 24% to ₹1,239 crore, with EBIT margins expanding to 22.6%. Analog watches in particular surged 28%, fuelled by higher volumes and strategic pricing moves.

The watches and wearables division has been the surprise star of Q1, with sales and margins both climbing sharply. This is more than a financial milestone, it's a reflection of a cultural shift.

1. What should I look for when buying a watch?
When choosing a watch, consider its movement type (mechanical, automatic, or quartz), material, water resistance, design, and features like chronographs or date windows. It's also worth thinking about where and how often you'll wear it, daily wear watches may need more durability, while dress watches can prioritise style.
2. Are automatic watches better than quartz watches?
Neither is “better” universally, it depends on preference. Automatic watches are powered by wrist movement and are admired for craftsmanship, while quartz watches are battery-powered and known for accuracy and low maintenance.
3. How do I maintain my watch for long life?
Store it in a cool, dry place, clean it regularly with a soft cloth, avoid extreme temperatures, and service it periodically as per the manufacturer's recommendation. Also, remove it during high-impact activities unless it's designed for sports.
4. Can I wear my watch while swimming or showering?
Only if it's water-resistant to an adequate depth rating. A “water-resistant” marking doesn't mean it's swim-proof, always check the rating in metres or ATM before exposing it to water.
5. What's the difference between a chronograph and a regular watch?
A chronograph has a built-in stopwatch function, often with sub-dials to measure seconds, minutes, and hours, whereas a regular watch simply displays time and sometimes the date.
