also is quartz a major part of a rock?plz help me
Quartz is electronic, and auto is more mechanical. The auto is wound by the natural movement of the wearer's arm. I'd much prefer quartz, because they're more accurate.
quartz doesn't need winding
This Site Might Help You. RE: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movement in a watch? Hi A guy on YouTube commented on a video about a Seiko watch, and said: Funny? thing is quartz is worthless. Automatic movement are the best thing on earth for watch lovers. What's the difference between quartz and auto. movement? best answer receive 10 points ;) thnx
Quartz are powered by electricity. Automatic movements are a type of mechanical movements. Mechanical watches have a main spring which has tension applied, as that tension is released it turns the hands. An automatic watch is one in which the motion of the wearers wrist winds the spring. Mechanical watches take alot of fine craftsmanship to make good, and are impressive for that reason. Quartz watches have the advantage of allowing far more features. A quartz watch can hold its charge for weeks and months. An automatic will lose its charge in a few days if not worn and need resetting. A quartz may need to have it's battery replaced from time to time, mechanical need more expensive servicing every few years. Some quartz have Atomic time keeping(set itself to atomic clocks through radio transmissions) and keep the time set on its own. A quartz can hold enough power to keep small internal computers operating that can be great for hikers, divers etc... A quartz can maintain both analog and digital functions at the same time. The posters comments are highly biased and idiotic and based on what he thinks is of value, and disregards what many others may find of value, there is plenty to appreciate about the micro-clockwork of quality mechanical watches, but plenty of cheap mechanical movements have been made as well. Seiko has some very good quartz watches, as well as mechanical.
