Are you tired of those pinchy metal link watches or the drab leather bands? Then beaded watches just might be what you need. It's the best way I know to make a fashion statement, and still have the time of day readily available. There are many styles and colors to choose from online, so I'll show you a few.

About Watches
The most common type of watch is the wristwatch, worn on the wrist and fastened with a watchband made of leather, nylon, or metal links called a bracelet. Before the inexpensive miniaturization that became possible in the 20th century, most watches were pocket watches.

In the 21st century, technological advances in metallurgy, composite materials development, and physical vapor deposition greatly influence watch design and manufacturing. Solid stainless steel, titanium, tungsten carbide, carbon fiber, high-tech ceramic, and ion plating processes dominate a considerable market share of today's modern watch-making industry. Sapphire crystals are often incorporated to complement and enhance the durability of a quality watch.

Most inexpensive and medium-priced watches used mainly for timekeeping are electronic watches with quartz movements. Expensive collectible watches, valued more for their workmanship and aesthetic appeal than for simple timekeeping, often have purely mechanical movements and are powered by springs, even though mechanical movements are less accurate than more affordable quartz movements.

All of these watches are very affordable, so you can buy several and change them whenever you like.
