Automatic watch vs Quartz

There are two types of mechanical clock movements (automatic) and quartz. Almost all Watchmaker uses two types of movement within hours of making them. Every movement has its advantages and disadvantages of each. Quartz clock is a clock that uses electronics ( electronic circuits ) whose movement is determined by a quartz crystal . Where it produces an orderly and accurate frequency . So , it is more accurate than a mechanical watch in terms of timing . In short , this quartz clock is a clock that uses batteries. Movement was easily determined. Needle movement is that it is time - ticking countdown . Typically , this type of movement on the dial -hour set as shown above . 1970 was the year in which the quartz movement clock is used extensively throughout the world . Creation is a phenomenon of heat & is a proud technology at that time ( and still in use today ) . It has resulted in many Swiss companies wound causes. At that time there were about 500 Swiss watch company that uses a mechanical movement and quartz after-hours produced , only about 100 companies of which have survived until today. Seiko is a pioneer / producer first quartz wristwatch . Why? Do not believe? Hehehe ... The first prototype was produced in 1967 by Seiko and in 1969 , Seiko produce their first quartz clock .Why does this happen ? Many buyers turn to this type of clock for many reasons. 1 . The timing is more accurate than a mechanical watch . Where the temperature change will not affect the size of the quartz . So the resonance frequency is stable & will not change ... so the time will be right . 2 . Quartz clock size is not large and thin , and not thick like a mechanical watch as component of it is a little & simple . 3 . Cheap maintenance costs . 4 . Price quartz clock itself even cheaper than a mechanical watch because production costs are cheaper . 5 . Quartz clock technology growing with the functions like alarm , chronograph , and there is a clock that uses solar light (solar ) as a power source for the clock movement . 6 . It is more durable than a mechanical watch . 7 . No longer is a really .... ( ekekeke. .. ) Why do I say this cheap quartz watch ? .... Because there are a great many hours of this (not original) sold in places like night markets , supermarkets at only RM10 . Try searching for a mechanical watch RM10 ..... do not meet . If not original / replica already at least RM50 . In addition to the positive of quartz clock, there is a slight lack of it. Normally the human thing to do, where there is perfect in this world. Life expectancy is not over clock quartz clock mechanism. Life depends on the life span of the batteries themselves. Battery life depends on the type of battery, use of the hour (use more functions available at that, for example chronograph ... then the battery life will be shorter). The point here, we have to change the battery stick. It is not very often, in 1-5 years. But there is a claim hours, battery life up to 10 years for example Timex & Casio. In addition, the life span of components in it also depends on the way care. If the battery is flat & not removed / open the battery from the clock, eventually damaged battery will produce a liquid that will damage the components in the watch itself.Also consist of a mechanical watch automatic (self-winding) and the 'key' (manual winding). Automatic clock (self-winding) movement moves on the wrist where there is a spring inside the main (mainspring) which will turn (Tied up). Easiest example, boys toys. Ala ... toy car that there is a key at the top that. Lock up tight when a new car is moving. If you look at the open, tell me what's understood this. It will then move balencer, the next movement which is driven balancer will move the other components in it. These components are very small and provide support & reactions to each other. Difficult gak want this story. Haha ... Most of the mechanical clock in the market is kind of automatic (self-winding). Can check on Youtube for better understanding. For beginners to clocks, quartz clock might as well buy (benefits outweighed the mechanical ... 'for normal usage') do not need to worry because the clock will stop (except when the battery is flat la). The reason this automatic watch if not worn, it will stop. Often the most-hour power reserve is 40 hours Automatic (Fully Charged). If not worn more than the time, it will stop. When you're stopped, you'll have to adjust the time and date. For some people, it is abusive. If you do not like doing this, this type of clock is not for you. Similarly at the key, the key itself be always likes to watch. Hmm ... Mechanical watch is also more expensive than quartz clock. Almost all Swiss-made watch is mechanical. A mechanical Swiss watch makers in the world. Quality produced is very impressive. Mostly made ​​by hand. All engraving, polishing, mechanical and other made ​​by hand. Production per month is also a little over quartz clock and the person making it (Watchmaker) is not a piece of work. That's why the price is expensive so there are hundreds of thousands of dollars. But, for those of us who are interested in this mechanical watches, mechanical watch can buy from Japan. The price is very reasonable & the quality is also very impressive. If you want to wear Swiss-made watches are quite cheap & affordable, may buy vintage Swiss watches.general mechanical quartz clock selasak not because the components it can wear off if very violent. Hit away from magnetic materials for magnetic affect on components. The readings are also not as accurate quartz clock. It will 'run' of a few seconds per day / month. If you're reading run time, you'll have to be examined in store hours. Recommended mechanical watch is inspected once every 2-3 years to ensure the case, crown, gasket and crystal seal intact. However, the mechanical clock was not as I thought. Care is easy. As long as the clock does not matter, does not need to be repaired. Mechanical watch can reach the age of 100 years if properly cared for. Do not believe? Can see the age of the vintage watches. Mostly still works & provide accurate timekeeping. Great! In addition, 'harga'nya (' value ') will last long. When you call about 'value' first, there is some meaning. Fans hour will understand what this means. Hehehe ...If you ask me, I would choose an automatic clock from quartz. I feel 'connected' with the clock that once adopted. Feel 'once' with hours that. Hmm ... Patrimonio Camno want this story. Hahaha ... No direct interest not quartz clock. I only buy if the quartz clock on me, tu hour special. Hehehe ... I long story about auto & quartz clock this. It looked like a lot less. But if long, boring people want to read the plaque. Hehehe
