In general, modern watches frequently show the day, date, month, and yr. For mechanical watches, various extra capabilities called "complications", such as moon-segment displays and the specific sorts of tourbillon, are every now and then protected. Most electronic quartz watches, then again, consist of time-related functions together with timers, chronographs and alarm capabilities. Furthermore, a few cutting-edge watches (like smart watches) even include calculators, GPS and Bluetooth era or have heart-charge tracking competencies, and some of them use radio clock generation to regularly correct the time.

Most watches that are used specially for timekeeping have quartz moves. However, costly collectible watches, valued extra for their tricky craftsmanship, aesthetic enchantment, and glamorous layout than for easy timekeeping, regularly have traditional mechanical moves, despite the fact that they're much less correct and more expensive than electronic ones. As of 2018, the maximum pricey watch ever bought at public sale turned into the Patek Philippe Henry Graves Super complication, the world's maximum complex mechanical watch until 1989, fetching US$24 million (CHF 23,237,000) in Geneva on 11 November 2014.
