How to distinguish a quartz watch from a mechanical watch?

1. Look at the English text on the back of the watch. If it says Quartz or Automatic, Quartz is a quartz watch and Automatic is a mechanical watch.

2. Look at the way the second hand moves. If you notice that the second hand moves for two or four seconds at a time, it is still a quartz watch and the second hand of a mechanical watch moves continuously. It's just that when you notice that your second hand is working like this, it will send an alarm to replace the battery.

Detailed information:

1. Characteristics of mechanical watch:

(1) The travel time of a mechanical watch is different from that of a quartz watch. The second hand of a mechanical watch moves continuously without interruption.

(2) Due to the complexity of the mechanical movement of the watch, the travel time error is large (depending on each brand, the error of the movementobservatory is smaller and the error of one day is normal). within -4/+6 seconds. The travel time error of a mechanical watch cannot be accumulated, and the watch needs to be debugged after a period of time

(3) The craftsmanship is exquisite and easy to use. It can work for more than 36 hours. hours once fully rolled up.

2. Features of quartz watches:

(1) The running time and second hand of a quartz watch jump every time, and the running time is generally very accurate, month. the difference must be less than 15 seconds, and there are three hands and two hands.

(2) The movement uses integrated circuits, its structure is much simpler than that of mechanical watch movements, and the assembly is very simple.

(3) It is easy to use and does not require winding to carry it. A battery can usually be used for 2 to 3years. However, some quartz watches use lithium batteries, which have a long lifespan and can be used for about 7 to 8 years.
