What's the difference between quartz watches and mechanical watches?

Fundamentally, the biggest difference between quartz watches and mechanical watches is that they drive different sources of power. Quartz watch is issued by the battery power to "stimulate" quartz crystal form, of which the law of vibration driven by the hour and minute hand operation, because the vibration of quartz is very regular, so when the quartz watch will be much more accurate than mechanical watches, one day the error will not exceed a second rate.

Manual chain mechanical table to be tightened by rotating the hairspring crown gear drive operation, then the balance rotating through gossamer natural relaxation, and drive other components to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of running watch. Automatic timepiece is coupled with a weight balance, when the hand motion is able to watch the movement chain, which led to a series of gear transmission.

Mechanical watches can be divided into two kinds of manual and automatic:
Powered mechanical watch movement depend on remontoir, do not need batteries.
Mechanical travel time and quartz watch, mechanical watch is the second uninterrupted walk.
Because the mechanical watch movement is complex, the travel time error depends on each brand.
Fine workmanship, easy to use, the upper winding, more than 36 hours can walk. Long movement life.
The appearance is heavier than the quartz watch, and some brands are thin, but they are usually manual mechanical watches.


Quartz watches can be divided into digital, pointer and automatic watch and optical kinetic watches:
The quartz watch is very accurate.
The movement adopts the integrated circuit, the structure is much simpler than the mechanical watch movement, and the assembly is very convenient.
Easy to use, do not need to wind up, a battery generally available for 2-3 years. But some quartz watches with lithium batteries, long service life, can be used for about 7-8 years.
Quartz watches are cheaper than mechanical watches.
