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 a combination of the surname and lastname of the company founder Josef Wyss. He founded Jowissa in the village of Bettlach, Switzerland in 1951. Jowissa has been active and in business without interruption since then.
How do I choose the right watch size for my wrist?
The ideal watch size depends on your wrist circumference and personal style. As a general rule, for wrists under 15cm, case diameters between 20mm and 30mm look most balanced. For wrists between 15cm and 17cm, sizes from 30mm to 35mm are ideal. For larger wrists, cases 35mm and above provide a bold look. Jowissa offers a variety of sizes, ranging from our petite 20mm mini models to our larger 45mm options for men.
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 3 to 20 ATM water resistance depending on the collection.
3 ATM: Watches tested for 3 ATM should not be worn when bathing or showering. They are build to withstand light rain, sweat and brief water contact.
5 ATM: Watches tested for 5 ATM are made to withstand rain, sweat and short swims.
10 ATM: Short dives, swim and other water sports are ok
20 ATM: Deep Dives, swims and other water sports are ok.
