POPULAR WATCH BRANDS IN
INDIA
Before mobile phones revolutionized and changed the way we interacted, most people used to
wear watches. I'm not saying that people don't wear watches anymore, but many just use their
mobile phones to keep track of time. If you ask me, I would say that a watch is more than just
a timekeeping device and a fashion accessory. In this day and age of smartwatches, there are
still some watch aficionados who stick to the old tradition of wearing a watch. Let's check out
some of the popular watch brands in India.
