Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watch technology, specifically an hourglass-shaped multifunctional watch. Background Technology

[0002] A wristwatch, a portable timepiece worn on the wrist, is a commonly used instrument for displaying time. Traditionally, the hour, minute, and second hands are located at the center of the watch. Driven by the watch movement's power output mechanism, the hands rotate around the center of the movement, pointing to characters or markings surrounding the movement to indicate the time. With the development of technology, wristwatches have evolved. A multi-functional wristwatch was proposed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN203012375U. However, after studying existing technology and the aforementioned patent, it was found that existing wristwatches have relatively simple functions and designs. Therefore, this utility model proposes an hourglass-shaped multi-functional wristwatch. Utility Model Content
