A timepiece, usually worn around the wrist or carried on a chain in a pocket, is known as a watch. Wristwatches are today's most prevalent type of this accessory. Tracing their origins to 17th-century spring-powered clocks that evolved from 15th-century ones, watches initially had mechanical mechanisms for measuring time. Over time, technology advanced, leading to the replacement of some mechanisms with quartz vibrations or electronic pulses in certain cases. The first digital electronic watch was created in 1970.
