What is the difference between a quartz watch and an electronic watch?

The quartz watch is only the driving part of the watch is driven by a crystal oscillator (crystal oscillator) to drive the mechanical gears, and the appearance is not much different from the mechanical watch, that is, there is no need to wind up, as long as the battery is added. The electronic watch is a liquid crystal display, and there is no mechanical part in it, a purely electronic thing. The difference between the two can be seen as a semi-mechanical device, an electronic device, it's as simple as that, and I just know it, hehe.

According to the different types of watches, the mainstream watches on the market can be divided into the following two types:

1. Mechanical watch: a clock adjusted by a mechanical ** device.

2. Quartz watch: a watch adjusted by an electronic device - a quartz device.

Quartz watches, also known as electronic watches, are watches that rely on batteries for power.

Advantages: The battery-powered watch is timely and accurate, and the process is not complicated, making it relatively affordable, and the smaller "body" is very suitable for female compatriots;

Disadvantages: nothing will be perfect, there will be certain flaws, quartz watch is limited to the battery, generally speaking, a battery can maintain a watch at most two or three years of normal operation, and then it is necessary to replace the battery, and normally speaking, the life of the quartz watch is about ten years, when the quartz amplitude decreases, it is no longer accurate.

Quartz watchIt's not an electronic watch. The differences between the two are as follows:

Energy**, quartz watch is an electronic chip that can keep time, send out timing pulses, and drive permanent magnet stepper motors.

The mechanical hand is driven to display the time, which is also powered by the battery. An electronic watch is a watch made with an electronic chronograph chip that digitally displays the time with 7 liquid crystal segments. More features. with a coin cell battery.

Supplying electricity, providing energy.

Timing error, quartz watches began to appear in the 80s. The main feature is the use of high reference frequency of quartz, the accuracy is much higher than the electronic watch, the quartz watch is a grid and a jump, the time is very accurate, generally requires the monthly difference within 15 seconds, there are three hands and two hands. It is definitely not a problem for a good quartz watch to mistake the tomato and jujube by less than one second per month, and the monthly error of the best electronic watch is at least a few seconds, and tens of seconds are very common.

Energy storage, an electronic battery can generally be used for 2-3 years, but some quartz watches use lithium batteries, which have a long service life and can be used for about 7-8 years.

Shockproof, the shockproof ability of electronic watches is relatively weaker than quartz watches, so it is best not to use them when doing strenuous exercise. A certain shockproof system on a quartz watch can escort the quartz watch and enhance its durability under certain circumstances.

Discernment

The dial shows that the quartz watch looks like a mechanical watch.

In the same way, there will be hands, minute hands, and second hands, and the accompanying electronic watch is generally a display screen, which directly displays the time and date by numbers.

The strap case, electronic watches are generally composed of plastic strap cases, without metal materials, while the strap case of quartz watches is made of metal materials, which is a semi-mechanized product.

Manual, you can look up the type of movement of the watch on the manual, determine whether the watch is quartz or electronic.

One. Energy quartz watches can be timed by electronic chips, send out timing pulses, drive permanent magnet stepper motors to drive mechanical hands to display time, and are also powered by batteries. An electronic watch is a watch made of an electronic chronograph movement with a numerical display of 7 liquid crystal figures.

More features. The power supply is provided by a coin cell battery. Second, the origin of the electronic watch originated in the mid-70s of the 20th century, with a small-scale integrated circuit as the main body, with a liquid crystal display to display the time.

The expression is numerical. In fact, the electronic watch uses the real-time crystal oscillator as the reference frequency, but the accuracy is not as accurate as the reference frequency of the later quartz watch. What is the difference between a quartz watch and an electronic watch?

Quartz watches did not appear in the 80s of the last century. The main feature is the use of a high reference frequency of the timing oscillator, which is much more accurate than electronic watches. The second hand of the quartz watch is one grid and one jump, which is very accurate.

Generally, the monthly difference is required to be within 15 seconds, three hands, two hands. A good timely watch, the monthly difference of less than one second is definitely not a problem, no matter how good the electronic watch, the monthly difference is at least a few seconds, tens of seconds is a common thing. A battery can generally last 2-3 years.

However, some quartz watches use lithium batteries, which have a long service life, about 7-8 years. Three. Shock-resistant Waterproof The shockproof performance of the magnetic capacity electronic meter is also limited, so it is best not to use it during strenuous exercise.

The electronic watch is also waterproof, but try to avoid water and prevent splashing when it rains. Quartz electronic watches have worse anti-magnetic ability than mechanical watches, and they should be kept away from magnetic fields. With the advancement of science and technology, integrated chips are getting smaller and smaller.

Electronic watches and quartz watches have begun to complement each other. Some electronic watches also use a mechanical transmission to indicate the time, which coexists with a digital display. This can be seen in many models of some brands, but it is actually an electronic watch.

Some quartz watches also use a microprocessor to add a perpetual calendar function, but they are not very popular. The purpose of a quartz watch is to display the time with a hand and maintain the characteristics of a mechanical watch, so it is difficult to completely improve the other display functions.
