Features of a quartz watch
-
This type of clock is distinguished by the presence of a battery or rechargeable battery as a power source. Instead of a pendulum, all the "rough" work is performed by a quartz crystal, which, under the influence of an electric current, activates the clockwork by means of compression and expansion. As for quartz watches, their dial can be either a pointer or with an electronic display. The last option is called an electronic clock.
What a quartz watch can boast of is its unrivaled precision due to the static oscillation frequency of the oscillator driving the quartz crystal. Mechanical watches are inferior to them in this. The error of such a clock is +/- 20 seconds per month. Pay attention, not in the DAY, but in the MONTH! That is, the difference in accuracy between quartz and mechanical watches is about 30 times. They do not need a permanent winding and stop only when the battery is out of date. Additional benefits of quartz watches include weather resistance and shock resistance. Of course, this is not yet a shockproof watch, but still, in general, damaging a quartz movement inside a steel watch case is somewhat more difficult than a mechanic.

Hello everyone, I wear a smart wristwatch, but I have a constant problem with the straps, as they tear and are not enough for a long time.

Hello, when buying a watch, many people often ask themselves which strap they should choose from which material. The material is certainly important, but the style of the strap is also important and needs to be properly defined. If you wear smartwatches, then I recommended you check out the smart watch bands at https://watchbandempire.com.au/ , where there is a fairly large selection of bands for smartwatches. Also, these smartwatch straps have very good durability.
