It is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application. The terms "first" and "second" are only used for the convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 3The present embodiment provides a new type of geometric dial watch, including a watch case 1, a watch strap 2, a dial 3 and hands 4. The watch strap 2 is arranged on both sides of the watch case 1, and the dial 3 is arranged inside the watch case 1. Twelve time scale marks 5 are arranged circumferentially in a square on the dial 3, of which the four time scale marks 5 located at the vertices of the square represent 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock in a day, which are four important time periods in line with the laws of human daily life. In an hour, the division of four moments also clarifies the time management within an hour. The hands 4 are arranged in the center of the dial 3 through a hand shaft. The hands 4 include an hour hand 41 and a minute hand 42. The length of the hour hand 41 is smaller than that of the minute hand 42, so that the user can accurately identify the hour hand 41 and the minute hand 42.

[0037] The distance between a time mark 5 not located at a square vertex and the center of the dial 3 matches the length of the hour hand 41. When the hour hand 41 reaches a time mark 5 not located at a square vertex, the pointing end of the hour hand 41 overlaps with that time mark 5. When the hour hand 41 reaches a time mark 5 located at a square vertex, the pointing end of the hour hand 41 points directly at that time mark 5. In other words, at the four crucial punctual times of 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, the hour hand 41 "connects" with the time mark 5 located at the square vertex on the dial 3, clearly reminding the user. At other full-hour times, the hour hand 41 appears to be "in line" with the time mark.

[0038] The distance between the time scale mark 5 at the vertex of the square and the center of the dial 3 matches the length of the minute hand 42. When the minute hand 42 rotates to the time scale mark 5 at the vertex of the square, the indicating end of the hour hand 41 overlaps with the time scale mark 5. When the minute hand 42 rotates to the time scale mark 5 not at the vertex of the square, the hour hand 41 covers the time scale mark 5. In other words, the minute hand 42 precisely "matches" the time scale mark 5 at four moments in an hour (0, 15, 30, and 45). At other moments, the minute hand 42 "covers" the time to indicate the time.

[0039] The new geometric dial watch provided by the present invention, through the innovative square time scale layout, particularly highlights the four time scale marks 5 (12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock) at the vertices of the square on the dial 3, making the time scale marks 5 of these four important moments more eye-catching and convenient for users to quickly identify; at the same time, this time scale layout well completes the distinction between the four areas, and also through the arrangement of the squares, shows the different types of relationships presented by the hour hand 41 and the minute hand 42 and the time scale marks 5 on the dial 3, to clearly display the time, making time management more intuitive and efficient, and also giving the watch uniqueness, meeting consumers' needs for personalized and functional watches.

[0040] In one embodiment, the four time scale marks 5 at the vertices of the square are of a different color than the other time scale marks 5. The four time scale marks 5 at the vertices of the square are of a different color than the other time scale marks 5, which can clearly distinguish them, making the four important moments (12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock) more visually prominent, thereby enhancing the perception of time.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, the four time scale markers 5 at the vertices of the square are red, while the remaining time scale markers 5 are gray. Red, as a strong visually stimulating color, quickly attracts the user's attention, making it easier to identify these four key time points. Gray, as a neutral color, is neither too abrupt nor too dim, and serves as a good background color, highlighting the red key time scale markers 5.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the time scale mark 5 is in a circular shape. Of course, in other embodiments, the time scale mark 5 can also be in other shapes, such as diamond, rectangle, ellipse, etc., and the present invention does not limit this.

[0043] In one embodiment, the hour hand 41 and the minute hand 42 are both made of translucent material, which not only provides indication but also makes the overlapping "fit" between the pointer and the dial 3 more fully interpreted, while enhancing the visual beauty and layering.

[0044] See also Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment, the watchband 2 includes a fixing portion 21, a first strap 22, and a second strap 23. The fixing portion 21 is fixed to the bottom of the watch case 1, providing a stable foundation for the connection of the watchband 2. The first strap 22 and the second strap 23 are respectively provided on both sides of the fixing portion 21 to facilitate wearing and adjustment.

[0045] Specifically, the fixing portion 21 is annular, and the bottom of the watch case 1 is provided with an annular groove 11 adapted to the fixing portion 21. The annular groove 11 provides a precise positioning reference for the fixing portion 21, ensuring that the fixing portion 21 can be stably fixed to the bottom of the watch case 1 and is not easy to loosen or shift, thereby improving the overall stability of the watch. In addition, it also allows the fixing portion 21 to pass through the fixing portion 21 and contact the user's wrist in the middle of the bottom of the watch case 1. Through this design, additional functional components (such as health monitoring sensors) can be added to the middle of the bottom of the watch case 1 to further expand the functionality of the watch and meet the diverse needs of users. In addition, the two ends of the annular groove 11 are respectively provided with avoidance openings 12 for the first strap 22 and the second strap 23 to extend out, which not only ensures the smooth installation of the strap 2, but also ensures the overall beauty of the watch case 1.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the fixing portion 21 is fixed to the annular groove 11 by adhesive bonding. This connection method is simple, reliable, and low-cost. By selecting an appropriate adhesive, a secure connection between the fixing portion 21 and the watch case 1 can be ensured while preventing damage to the watch case 1.

[0047] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all such improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to this utility model.

[0048] The above is an exemplary description of the present utility model patent in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the implementation of the present utility model patent is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present utility model patent, or the concept and technical solution of the present utility model patent are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
