Advantages and disadvantages. Quartz watches and mechanical watches are hard to compete.
Under normal circumstances, mechanical watches are more expensive than quartz watches. This does not mean that mechanical watches are necessarily better. The main difference between them lies in what power is used to drive the movement of the watch core. Mechanical watches have a spiral line. When people wind the watch, the spiral line is tightened at the same time. When the spiral line is loosened, it will start to drive the watch core to move. The quartz watch uses a battery as its power. The battery outputs electric energy to the watch's electronic blocks and motors. Every second, the electronic block will output a pulse wave to the motor, which will push the watch needle to run.
Therefore, from the timing point of view, quartz watches are more accurate than mechanical watches. Mechanical watches have different spiral speeds, so the timing accuracy will decrease. Moreover, the accuracy of mechanical watches will also be affected by factors such as temperature, location and wear of parts. Mechanical watches have an error of 15 S to 30 S a day. Even the best mechanical watches have an error of 4S to 5S. Quartz watches are different. The electronic block can provide stable pulse wave. The timing accuracy can be ensured. The reason why mechanical watches are more expensive is that quartz watches are usually assembled on automatic production lines. Mechanical watches need accurate manual adjustment and correction in the manufacturing process.
Quartz watches and mechanical watches also have their own advantages and disadvantages. The greatest advantage of quartz watches is their high timing accuracy and stronger sense of convenience and fashion. The watch core of mechanical watches is more technological. The thickness of the watch case is large. If you only want convenience and require high timing accuracy, then quartz Watch is your best choice.
Maintenance. It needs careful consideration. The service life of the watch is related to whether the wearer uses and maintains the watch correctly. Wearing a watch when bathing, discomfort in the length of the watchband, harsh environment, sweat corrosion, etc. will easily lead to watch damage. They will shorten the service life of the watch.
Medium and high-grade watches should be maintained every two or three years. Replace waterproof components, detect travel time performance, movement power consumption, etc., and clean the movement and maintain the appearance. This will prolong the service life of the watch. The more expensive the watch, the higher the maintenance cost. There are also vulnerable parts such as watchbands and glass.
