Gold-detailed, lighted-up, pizza-faced — there are many kinds of wristwatches for sale.
Big watches are hot this year. Some measure up to 5.5cm in diameter. They look like large pizzas!
Watches with gold are also very popular this season. Some have diamonds or other jewels. Shopkeepers are happy that people are buying luxury watches. Some cost as much as a new car.

But many people just want a simple-looking watch. One example is an all-black watch with lighted hands. It catches the eye even though it has few details.

Times change, but the popularity of watches keeps on ticking.

儘管物換星移，但人們對手錶的熱愛絲毫不減。（德通社�翻譯：袁星塵）
Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
For many people, allergies are an all-too-familiar annoyance. The constant sneezing, itching, and watery eyes are just a few clear signs of allergies, which is a surprisingly common condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly triggers these reactions, and how can we cope with them? Allergies arise from a misunderstanding between our immune system and seemingly harmless substances.
