Digital Watch
A watch design or style category known as Digital Watch, describing its intended use, form or aesthetic character.
Also known as: Digital-display watch, Electronic digital watch
Definition
A digital watch displays time as numerals rather than primarily by analogue hands. The display may use LCD, LED, OLED or another electronic technology, and the watch can be a simple quartz timekeeper or a highly capable multifunction instrument. 'Digital' describes the display format, not necessarily connectivity: many digital watches have no smart features, while some smartwatches can also show analogue-style faces.
Why it matters
Digital displays can provide exceptional clarity and multiple functions at low cost and power consumption. Buyers should distinguish simple long-life digital quartz watches from app-driven smartwatches.
