Comparison between Mechanical Watches and Quartz Watch
That would be a little out of date if you still treat the watch as a simple timing tool. Watch has become a “card” of a personal. Wearing a watch can reveal personal temperament, taste and identity.
In this case, how can one choose a flexibly and high quality watch? In the following part, I am going to illustrate the difference between mechanical watches and quartz watches.
Normally, mechanical watches are expensive than quartz watches, but it doesn’t mean that mechanical watches certainly better than quartz watches.
The main difference between Quartz watches and mechanical watches is that what kind of energy source drives the core movement. In mechanical watches there are spiral lines. When people wind up the watch, spirals also are tightened. When spirals are loosening, they begin to drive the core exercise. Quartz watches equip with batteries as energy sources.
Therefore, from timing perspective, quartz watches are more accurate than mechanical watches. Due to the inconsistent helical movement speed, the accuracy of timing of mechanical watches will decline. And they will be influenced by temperature, place and parts wear and other factors. So generally speaking, it is normal when mechanical watches has 15 ~ 30 seconds error one day, and the minimum error still reach 4 ~ 5 seconds. On the contrary, quartz watches can provide with the most stable pulse wave to guarantee highest accuracy. Normally, quartz watches’ monthly error is about 15 to 25 seconds, and the minimum error is only 5 seconds a year.
The reason why mechanical watches are expensive than quartz watches is that mechanical watches need precise manual adjustment in their production process while quartz watches are generally produced in automatic production line.
In addition, it is generally believed that the operating life of mechanical watches is longer than quartz watches. But this may not be exact in that all the components inside the quartz watches and mechanical watches are the same. Although the life of electronic components hasn’t fully tested, they may also have the same lifespan. So, consumers can completely believe a good quartz watch can provide as long term of life as a mechanical watch.
However, both quartz watches and mechanical watches have their pluses and minuses. The biggest advantage of Quartz watches is timing precision. And they can be made to be thin and small which enables customers to wear in convenient and fashionable feeling. But mechanical watches equipped with more technological core and watchcases are respectively thick and big. If you look for convenience and timing accuracy, then you should choose quartz watches. But for small and thin quartz watches, you must consider weather changing the battery is convenient, because thinner the battery, more expensive the watch.
