Questions about mechanical watches and quartz watches???

Quartz watches are jumping second by second, and mechanical watches are running continuously. Quartz clocks and quartz watches don't work the same way because they use different motors. And now there are quartz watches that go continuously like quartz clocks, quartz watches use stepper motors, and stepper motors are named according to their characteristics, which means that its rotation is step by step.

For example, a 360-degree stepper motor needs to take 360 steps in one rotation, and each step rotates 1 degree. Quartz clocks use servo motors, usually DC motors, i.e., motors that can rotate continuously. But it's all battery-powered.

Mechanical watch: The movement of a common mechanical watch has 90 to 100 parts, and the more functional movement has 1400 parts, and the energy source of a mechanical watch is a coiled spring spring, and the energy stored in the spring pushes the watch to work to achieve the purpose of timekeeping. Mechanical watches can be divided into two types: manual mechanical watches and automatic watches

1) Manual mechanical watch: Winding the movement by hand, turning the crown, the spring in the movement will release energy and propel the watch to run.

2) Automatic watch: The power of the automatic movement is generated by the weight of the weight of the flying weight in the movement, when the arm wearing the watch swings, it will drive the flying weight to rotate, and at the same time drive the mainspring in the watch to wind the watch.

Mechanical watch features:

1) Unlike quartz watches, the seconds hand of a mechanical watch moves continuously and uninterruptedly.

2) Due to the complexity of the mechanical watch movement, the error of the time is large (depending on each brand), and the error of the chronometer movement is small, and the error of the day is normal 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.

The so-called second hand is a second by second...

Hello dear is not a mechanical watch, there will be text on the bottom of the dial or watch, you can observe the text on the bottom of the dial or watch, if it is engraved with automatic, it is an automatic watch, and if it is engraved with quartz, it is a quartz watch. By the movement of the second hand, you can also determine which is a quartz watch and which is a mechanical watch. However, this method is a bit difficult, if the second hand is moving, it is a quartz watch; If it moves smoothly, it is a mechanical watch.

There is also a mechanical watch or a quartz watch according to the thickness of the case, the case of a mechanical watch is generally thicker, and the case of a quartz watch is relatively thin.

That's for sure, quartz watches.

It is necessary to change the battery, change the battery every three or five years, and the mechanical is divided into automatic and manual, mechanical watches.

The failure rate is relatively high.

Strictly speaking, quartz watches belong to the electronic type, which has a battery installed inside and is driven by batteries, while mechanical watches are purely mechanical devices and have no electronics.

1. The principle of operation is different:

Mechanical watches operate purely on mechanical principles, energy ** is the kinetic energy stored by the mainspring in the movement, the kinetic energy released by the spring can drive the gears, and then push the watch hands, according to the power ** can be divided into two forms: manual winding and automatic winding;

Quartz watches use the principle that quartz vibrates regularly when driven by electricity, and then uses the electric energy of the battery to drive a small electric motor in the movement, which pushes the hands to keep time.

2. The weight is different

Mechanical watches rely on manual winding for power, and the thickness of the movement is thinner than that of the general automatic winding surface, so the weight of the watch is relatively light;

Quartz watches can convert electrical energy into power through quartz** devices, use mechanized equipment to produce circuit boards in large quantities, and then match resistors and capacitors to complete its movement, and then install the case, glass and bracelet, which is relatively heavy.

1. The difference between mechanical watches and quartz watches:

1. Movement. Quartz watch: a watch with a quartz movement, its power is the battery, driven by the battery, the quartz crystal will do regular movement, and the quartz oscillator will collect this regular movement and provide time indication.

Mechanical watch: a watch with a mechanical movement, the movement is composed of some complex mechanical structures, and the power is mainly artificially wound, which is pulled by the gravity of the internal hammer to indicate the time.

2. Timing error.

Quartz watches: Quartz vibrators replace the balance wheel in mechanical watches, making them more accurate than mechanical watches. The error is within seconds per day.

Mechanical watches: powered by the winding spring of the watch movement, which does not require batteries; Errors of a few seconds or even tens of seconds per day.

3. Service life.

Quartz watch: The service life is limited by the battery, which is relatively short, and the quartz oscillation will decline after 5-8 years of use, and the relative accuracy will be reduced.

Mechanical watch: There is no need to change the battery, but it needs to be oiled and maintained regularly, and it can be used for more than 20 years. It has a high collection value.

4. Maintenance.

Quartz watch: Quartz watch contains many small parts, if the quartz watch has a major failure, usually the original factory will directly require a new movement, the maintenance cost is very high.

Mechanical watch: Mechanical watch is relatively easy to maintain, although it is also very troublesome, but it is easier to replace parts, mainly because it will not easily fail.

5. Weight. Quartz watches: Mainly composed of electronic components, they are relatively light.

Mechanical watch: It is mainly composed of mechanical objects and is relatively heavy.

Quartz watch: It is an electronic watch, which is a watch that relies 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 watches are 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 not accurate.

Mechanical watches: are powered by the rotation of the mainspring inside the movement and do not require batteries to provide power. Therefore, the working principle of mechanical watches and quartz watches is not the same, and the trouble of changing the battery can be omitted.

Advantages: The biggest advantage of a mechanical watch is, of course, that there is no need to change the battery, if the watch stops, you only need to twist the crown to supplement the power of the mechanical watch, and the life of the mechanical watch will be relatively long, which is also better than the quartz watch.

Disadvantages: Mechanical watches are made up of many mechanical parts, which makes them bulky and cumbersome to wind them regularly.

They have their own advantages, quartz watches are accurate, stylish and thin in appearance, need to replace batteries in about two years, and the movement life is not as long as that of mechanical watches; The mechanical watch has a large error every day, and it will be thicker than the quartz watch, but it does not need to change the battery, the service life is relatively long, and the appreciation of the movement will be stronger than that of quartz. Therefore, many brands have mechanical watches and quartz watches in the same style.

Mechanical watches rely on mainspring windings to provide power, and the timekeeping is carried out by means of gearing. Mechanical watches are divided into manual and automatic winding. Due to the complex structure, the phenotype is thicker and heavier.

Because of the characteristics of the time principle, it is affected by gravity, mechanical friction, temperature changes, usage and other reasons, so the error is larger than that of quartz watches.

Quartz watches rely on batteries to provide power and use the extremely stable high-frequency vibration of quartz crystals as the benchmark for time, so quartz watches are more accurate and relatively inexpensive.

Quartz watches are more accurate than mechanical watches, but mechanical watches retain the traditional texture, although watches of the same grade are more expensive than mechanical watches, it still does not affect consumers' love for mechanical watches. Khamai has launched a series of mechanical watches and quartz watches, with a classic, fashionable and simple appearance, stable and reliable performance, which can meet the various wearing needs of consumers.

Quartz watches are not called mechanical watches, quartz watches are quartz watches, because quartz and tuning forks will vibrate according to a certain law, and when the quartz crystal is affected by battery electricity, it will also produce regular vibrations. Because quartz vibrates so regularly, even a cheap quartz watch will not have an error rate of more than one second in a day. Quartz watches are crystals that use periodic vibrations to give us accurate time.

The mechanical power to dismantle the high source is powered by the mainspring in the movement, which drives the gears and then pushes the watch hands.

There are two kinds of mechanical watches: manual winding and automatic winding, of which the manual winding mechanical watch relies on manual twisting of the mainspring as a power, and the thickness of the movement is thinner than that of the general automatic winding surface, and the weight of the watch is relatively light. A self-winding watch uses the automatic rotating disc of the movement to oscillate left and right to generate power to drive the mainspring, but the thickness of a hand-wound watch is relatively smaller than that of an automatic winding watch.

1. Judging from the second hand.

The second hand of a mechanical watch is mostly uninterrupted, while the second hand of a quartz watch jumps from grid to grid; Also due to the thicker movement and case of a mechanical watch, the appearance is usually heavier, while a quartz watch is relatively lightweight.

2. On the **.

There is also a clear difference between mechanical watches and quartz watches, because the movement of a mechanical watch requires precise hand polishing and adjustment, while the movement of a quartz watch is mostly mass-produced on a production line, so the ** of a mechanical watch is usually more expensive than a quartz watch.

3. Accuracy.

In terms of the accuracy of the time, due to the complex structure, the mechanical watch is easy to reduce the accuracy due to the influence of the environment, temperature and wear of parts, under normal circumstances, there may be an error of 15 30 seconds per day, and the high quality of the movement will also have 1 5 seconds.

Quartz watches can maintain a fairly high accuracy because the quartz crystal inside provides a stable pulse wave, so the error is generally within seconds per day, and the error is about 15 to 25 seconds per month, and the top quartz watch can even reach an annual difference of less than 5 seconds.

4. Power**.

The accuracy of quartz watches, the relative condition is that the battery must be replaced regularly, the service life of the general battery is 2 3 years, and the lithium battery has a long life and can be used for 7 or 8 years.

Mechanical watches, however, do not have to worry about battery problems for a lifetime, and only need to be wound regularly, and even self-winding watches can be worn regularly to maintain power.

5. Maintenance and repair.

The quartz** in the quartz watch movement often gradually deteriorates after 5 or 8 years of use, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of the time, and it is usually necessary to replace the movement with a new one; Mechanical watches, on the other hand, can be cleaned regularly to extend the service life of the watch.

6. Appearance design.

Quartz watches are mostly thin and lightweight, easy to wear, and have a strong sense of fashion; The mechanical watch movement and case are thicker, the texture is exquisite, and the movement is more crafty. This point can be said to be indistinguishable, depending on the wearer's preference.

1. Differences in energy:

Mechanical watches are powered by the mainspring in the movement, which drives the gears and then pushes the watch hands, but the way of power is different.

Quartz watches provide stable power to the movement through batteries, which provide energy to an integrated circuit and a quartz resonator, causing it to vibrate 32,768 times per second.

2. Differences in classification:

According to the way of winding, mechanical watches are divided into hand-wound and automatic. Hand-wound mechanical watches rely on manual winding for power, and the thickness of the movement is thinner than that of ordinary automatic winding. A self-winding watch uses the movement's automatic rotating disc to oscillate from side to side to generate power to drive the mainspring.

Quartz watches can be divided into digital quartz electronic watches, analogue quartz watches, automatic quartz watches, and light-drive watches. The common denominator is that the structure is much simpler than that of a mechanical watch movement, and the assembly is very simple.

3. The difference between **:

Mechanical watch: Because the energy of mechanical watches comes from people, mechanical watches rely on the rotation of clockwork and gears, bringing people time, calendar, moon phase and other functions, so it is much more complex than quartz watches in production, and it is more expensive in **.

Quartz watches: Quartz watches are relatively cheaper than mechanical watches in the case of the same brand and style, but some high-end brand quartz watches are expensive because of good brands, good appearance materials, and excellent appearance design, resulting in some quartz watches being much more valuable than general mechanical watches.

Encyclopedia - Quartz watch.

1. Different: From the point of view, the mechanical watch is much higher than the quartz watch. The average mechanical watch is around 2,000 yuan, and usually a quartz watch is cheaper than a mechanical watch.

Five or six hundred dollars.

2. The power is different: the quartz watch hands move by installing the battery, if the battery is empty, the battery needs to be replaced; But the power of a mechanical watch** is the screw-up clockwork. Comparatively, a mechanical watch is better.

3. Different accuracy: Because the quartz watch is a quartz vibrator to replace the balance wheel in the mechanical watch, the accuracy is better than that of the mechanical watch affected by gravity. After all, mechanical watches are susceptible to the influence of gravity, and the time error is relatively large.

4. Different weights: In terms of feel, the weight is much heavier than that of quartz watches, because they are heavier mechanical objects inside, while quartz watches are basically light parts such as resistors and capacitors.

5. The structure is different: in terms of the structure and fineness of the production, the production of mechanical watches is more exquisite than that of quartz watches. It is also easier to replace the battery, at least the mechanical watch does not need to be disassembled.

The above is an introduction to the difference between watch quartz and mechanical, if you like watches, I hope the above content will be useful to you!
