Watches are portable timepieces that are usually worn on the wrist. The main types are analog, which mechanically moves and tells the time via two hands on a clock face, and digital, which electronically marks the passage of time on a digital screen. Some watches worn on the body are pocket watches, sometimes attached to clothes with a chain.
