Anatomy & Craft

Builds the visual and technical literacy that makes every other category more useful. Covers dial components, case geometry, crystal types, water resistance ratings, bracelet and strap systems, complications, and movement finishing. Does NOT cover brand-specific models or buying recommendations — this is vocabulary-building content. Assumes the reader has zero prior knowledge but is not condescending: the tone is 'here is what you need to know to evaluate what you're looking at,' not 'here is a glossary.' Heavy use of annotated visuals is expected in this category.
