The watch

 The watch was created in the 17th century from spring-powered clocks, last time it was driven by clockwork and powered by a mainspring, these were called mechanical watches. 

In the 1960s the quartz watch was invented which was powered by a battery and it used a quartz crystal to keep time, then by the 1980s these watches overtook the market.

Now by the 2010s smartwatches became a thing which are computers built into the watch, now they can give heart rate, GPS, alarms, and much more.

Expensive watches are sought after because of the craftsmanship to make elaborate watches.

Now, most watches are mainly smartwatches.
