wristwatch
A wristwatch is a compact timekeeping device worn on the wrist, designed to accurately display the current time. It typically consists of a small clock mechanism housed in a durable case, with a strap or bracelet to secure it in place. Modern wristwatches can be analog, with traditional hour and minute hands, or digital, showing the time numerically. Many also feature additional functions like date display, stopwatch, or alarms. Powered by a battery or mechanical movement, wristwatches are both practical tools for time management and stylish accessories reflecting personal taste.
