Wrist-watches, pocket-watches, stop-watches and other watches, other than those of heading no. 9101
In plain English
This category covers wrist-watches, pocket-watches, stop-watches, and similar timepieces, excluding those already classified elsewhere. The items are split based on their power source and display type, with electric models further divided into those with mechanical displays, opto-electronic displays, or neither. Non-electric items are also included in this group. Additionally, electric wrist-watches are categorized by whether they have automatic winding or another type of winding mechanism.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Smart watches may classify under 8517 (telecom apparatus) rather than 9102 (watches) depending on their primary function. Watch cases with precious metal plating — classify by the base metal, not the plating.
