Features of mechanical watches
1. The 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 watch movement, the time error is relatively large, and the general allowable range is ±45 seconds. The error of the movement of the observatory is small, and the error of one day is within -4~+6 seconds. The time error of the mechanical watch cannot be accumulated, and the watch needs to be adjusted after a period of time.
3. Exquisite craftsmanship, easy to use, can walk for more than 35 hours on foot.
4. The movement has a long service life.
5. The appearance is heavier than a quartz watch. Some brands are also very thin, but they are generally manual mechanical watches.
Features of quartz watches
1. The time and second hand of a quartz watch jumps one grid at a time, and the time is very accurate. Generally, the monthly difference is within 15 seconds, and there are three needles and two needles.
2. Integrated circuits are used in the movement. The structure is much simpler than that of a mechanical watch movement, and the assembly is very simple.
3. Convenient to use, no need to wind up, a battery can generally be used for 2-3 years. But some quartz watches use lithium batteries, which have a long service life, about 7-8 years.
4. Quartz watches are relatively cheaper than mechanical watches. But some high-end brand quartz watches are expensive because of their good brands. Good appearance materials and excellent design have resulted in some quartz watches being much more valuable than ordinary mechanical watches.
