There are many types of watches, but those that will be concentrated here are automatic watches and quartz watches. Each type has its own way of working, although when it comes to cost, automatic watches are usually valued more. This does not mean that quartz watches are not valuable, and depending on their quality, some quartz watches may exceed the price of automatic watches. The price depends on the materials used for the manufacture of watches, brand and several other factors, not just the type.
The important thing about automatic watches is that they automatically stop the winding process when the mainspring is fully turned. If the watch is damaged, it can be bad for the internal mechanisms and extremely lead to the untimely death of the watch. Conventional quartz watches do not have this protection, although there are some hybrids that use the protection of previous watches with the accuracy of the last watches.
Quartz watches operate using an electrical circuit, in particular an oscillator, and regulate it with a quartz crystal. Quartz is cut to perfect shape and inserted at an exact angle, so that when an electric current passes through it, the crystal vibrates at 32768 Hz. The circuit then increases the time by one second. The science behind the numbers is rather complex, although anyone with a basic understanding of physical principles can understand it.
Thanks to this accuracy, crystal watches are more accurate than automatic watches; In addition, automatic watches require more maintenance than quartz watches. The main advantage of automatic watches, in addition to protection from winding, is that they also do not need batteries. Most crystal watches require batteries to power the crystal inside.
To decide what to do, you need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each type of watch. If you cannot afford automatic watches, this is not so important, given that quartz watches have so many advantages; Automatic watches are best for prestigious purposes. Otherwise, the quartz watch perfectly cope with an ordinary person, and, moreover, the name sounds good.
