The Difference between Mechanical Watches and Quartz Watches

November 08, 2024

When it comes to watches, mechanical and quartz timepieces each have their own unique charm.

Let's explore their differences.

1. Power Source: Mechanical watches rely on a spring that is wound either manually or automatically by a rotor that moves with the wrist's motion. Quartz watches, on the other hand, are powered by a battery that sends energy to a quartz crystal oscillator.

2. Accuracy: Quartz watches are highly accurate, with a daily error usually within ±0.5 seconds. Mechanical watches, however, have a relatively lower accuracy, with an average daily error of around ±30 seconds for regular ones and a narrower range for those certified by observatories.

3. Complexity: Mechanical watches are complex, filled with numerous precision parts like gears, springs, and escapements. Quartz watches are simpler in construction, mainly consisting of electronic components and a quartz crystal.

4. Price Range: Mechanical watches have a wide price span, from affordable entry-level models to extremely expensive luxury timepieces. Quartz watches are generally more budget-friendly.

5. Maintenance: Mechanical watches require regular maintenance every 3 to 5 years, which can be costly. Quartz watches only need a battery replacement when it runs out, which is relatively inexpensive.

Whether you prefer the classic elegance of a mechanical watch or the practicality of a quartz watch, both have their place in the world of timekeeping.
