Ručni sat
Ručni sat je vrsta manjeg časovnika koji se nosi na ruci, najčešće oko ručnog zgloba. Pored pokazivanja tačnog vremena, može sadržati mnoge druge mogućnosti kao što su prikazivanje čitavog datuma, štoperica, alarm itd.
Ručni sat je takođe modni dodatak, predmet društvenog predstavljanja i prestiža. Dragi su od zlata, titanijuma, ukrašeni su kao nakit i podložni su promenama u modi.
Neke od najpoznatijih marki ručnih satova su Roleks, Kasio, Festina, Svoč, Tiso, Fosil i drugi.
