Touch Screen Watches - 5 of The Most Common Types Of Watches Out In The Market

There are many different kinds of touch screen watches out there, from ones that look no different from your average wind-up watch to computer watches that can do almost everything your smart phone can do.

If you are having trouble picking out a specific type of watch to call your own, then this simple guide will help you become more aware of the different styles that define each kind of watch.

The Tech Brick

Android watches are all the rage today, with larger than normal touch screen watches being released out in the market. These watches have a lot to offer in terms of performance, from phone watches that can take calls and buzz you when you have a calendar, Facebook or Twitter alert. The often bulky and industrial look of these watches, however, offers very limited compatibility when it comes to fashion. This makes the watches ideal for when you want to make a statement about your passion for connectivity, especially if you have constant access to Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G wireless Internet access.

The Modern Look

Now you have the touch watches that take a more modern style, with industrial and metallic motifs defining the look of these watches. Linked plates are the trademark of this particular group of touch screen watches, emitting a high-tech vibe without sacrificing much in the way of style. They don't have the same processing capabilities of their larger Tech Brick cousins, but they have just enough space to make room for basic app functionality. This makes the Modern Look the relatively safer, more fashion-friendly choice for introducing wearable tech into your wardrobe.

The Classy Touch

This type of touch screen watches have rounded faces with leather watches, looking virtually identical to older types of wristwatches at first glance. These are without a doubt the most stylish and respectable lines of watches in this list, but their light weight and rounded shape leave very little room for advanced touch capabilities. This is, however, a choice that can work with a variety of fashion styles while still letting you receive basic notifications from smartphones tethered via Bluetooth to the watch.

The Puzzlers

This line of touch screen watches is for the person that wants to stand out in the crowd. These touch phones not only serve as a miniature smart device, but they also feature complex puzzles that need to be solved in order to tell the time – puzzles that become rather easy if you know the cipher. This makes Puzzlers great conversation starters as well. Simply bring it up to tell the time and your companions will very likely ask you how in bloody hell you managed to know it was 7:08 in the evening from those squiggly lines and dots on your watch.

The Sporty

These are the line of touch screen watches that use tech to monitor your body's condition: blood pressure, heart rate, calories burned etc. These are fantastic smart watches for the athlete, outdoorsman and/or gym rat as they give a wealth of information on the fly and without weighing down your pockets at the same time. These tend to be made of durable and lightweight plastic composites, and often look more like tight bracelets than watches. This allows them to be tough enough to take a little abuse while being an almost invisible attachment thanks to the way they fit snugly on your wrist.

Keep all this in mind and you'll be able to quickly differentiate the five different kinds of touch screen watches at a glance!
