For many men and women today ,the image that a watch communicates is more important  than the time it tells. “Complications”-----features that go beyond simple timekeeping-----are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer a host of complications that suit almost  any personality. These features include altitude trackers ,compasses, lunar calendars, USB drivers ,and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!
Creativity is also a key element in today’s watches ,for men as well as women. The Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches .The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time .It looks more like a futuristic bracelet than a watch .Another Japanese watchmaker , EleeNo, makes a “handless” watch .Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.
In the past, the image of a man’s watch was quite different from that of a woman’s. Men’s watches tend to be bolder, larger, and more complicated than women’s watches, which were more likely to look like jewelry. Today, the differences between men’s and women’s watches are disappearing. Watchmakers are adding diamonds to their fine watches for man. And for women, they’re designing larger watches that contain complications. For example, some women’s watches now have calendars that show the phrases of the moon. Others show the time in two different cities, a handy function for business travelers. However, women still pay more attention than most men to the external beauty of a watch. And unlike men, women are still more likely to purchase watches that suit particular items in their wardrobes.
