FAQ

What is a Dress Watch?
A dress watch is an elegant, slim-profile timepiece designed to be worn with formal attire, such as business suits or evening wear. Unlike sports watches, dress watches focus on minimalism and sophistication.

For Men: It must be thin enough to slide easily under a shirt cuff (the "Cuff Test").

For Women: It often acts as jewelry, featuring refined materials or faceted glass to complement evening outfits.

Key Features: Simple dials, leather or mesh straps, and a lack of bulky buttons or bezels.
Are quartz watches accurate?
Yes, quartz watches are known for "high accuracy." Because the quartz crystal vibrates at such a stable and high frequency, they are typically much more accurate than mechanical watches, often varying by only a few seconds per month.
How does a quartz watch work?
It works through a circuit: a battery sends electricity to a quartz crystal, causing it to oscillate (vibrate) 32,768 times per second. A microchip detects these vibrations and converts them into regular electric pulses (one per second). These pulses drive a stepping motor, which turns the gears and moves the watch hands.
What is a quartz watch and what does "quartz movement" mean?
A quartz watch is a timepiece powered by a battery rather than a wound spring. The "quartz movement" refers to the internal engine of the watch, which uses a tiny crystal of quartz mineral to regulate time. This crystal vibrates at a very precise frequency when electricity is passed through it, ensuring high accuracy.
What is the meaning of the brand name Jowissa?
The name Jowissa is derived from the name of company founder Josef Wyss. He founded the business in Bettlach, Switzerland, in 1951, and Jowissa has operated continuously since then.
How do I choose the right watch size for my wrist?
Measure your wrist circumference, then compare the case diameter and strap length in the product specifications. Case shape, lug-to-lug length, thickness and personal style also affect how a watch wears, so diameter alone is only a guide. A smaller case usually looks discreet; a larger case makes a stronger statement. Choose the proportions that feel comfortable and suit your style.
On what wrist does a man wear a watch?
Traditionally, a man wears his watch on the left wrist. This custom originated because the majority of people are right-handed, and wearing a watch on the non-dominant hand protects the timepiece from damage and keeps the dominant hand free for writing or working. However, the modern rule is practical: wear your watch on the wrist opposite your dominant hand. Therefore, if you are left-handed, it is perfectly acceptable to wear your watch on the right wrist.
Is my watch water resistant?
A Jowissa watch is tested for water resistance from 3 to 30 ATM, depending on the collection.
3 ATM: Watches tested to 3 ATM should not be worn while bathing or showering. They are built to withstand light rain, perspiration and brief contact with water.
5 ATM: Watches tested to 5 ATM are designed to withstand rain, perspiration and brief contact with water. They are not intended for swimming or diving.
10 ATM: Suitable for swimming and other surface water activities. Not intended for diving.
20 ATM: Suitable for swimming, water sports and recreational diving.
Always follow the water-resistance rating and product specifications for your exact model.
