Flat Glass Watch or Convex Glass Watch?

As a time recorder, the choice of watch mirror material directly affects the appearance and function of the watch. Watch mirrors can be divided into flat and convex types, and how to choose between them is a topic worthy of discussion. This article will provide a detailed explanation of the key points in selecting watch mirrors from the following three aspects: the curvature of the lens, the material of the mirror, and the selection of application scenarios.


The Curvature of the Lens


The curvature of the lens directly affects the visual effect and appearance of the watch mirror, generally divided into flat and convex types. Flat glass lenses are relatively straight and are a more common choice. Convex glass lenses are more prominent, making the entire surface rounder and more appealing, even increasing visual attraction. Convex glass watches have better focus effects compared to flat glass watches, making them more suitable for use in dimly lit environments or at night, as convex glass watches can to some extent prevent glare reflection.


The Material of the Mirror


The correct mirror material can enhance the clarity and scratch resistance of the lens. The choice of watch mirror material must consider the environment of daily use. For example, if the watch is mainly used for outdoor sports, then a convex glass watch is more suitable, making it easier to read the date display. Mirror materials can include quartz glass, sapphire surface, Ceratanium, plastic materials, etc. These materials have certain advantages in scratch resistance; and if the lens will be frequently used in water, materials with waterproof and shock-resistant functions can be chosen, such as halogen and liquid metal.


Application Scenario Selection


When choosing a watch mirror, one must consider the usage scenario and personal preference. If it is for daily use, a flat, smooth lens can be chosen for clearer visibility; for sports watches, convex glass watches are usually more suitable, as the convex lens can provide a better observation experience. In night or low-light environments, it is best to choose a convex glass watch with anti-glare reflection function, reducing the reflection and mirror flash, making it more comfortable for the wearer.


Whether choosing a flat glass watch or a convex glass watch, the selector needs to comprehensively consider the curvature of the lens, the material of the lens, and the application scenario of the watch. The correct choice will make the appearance and function of the watch more complete and stable, providing a superior user experience for the wearer.
