How to tell the difference between mechanical and quartz watches? WIDTH
Watches are now deeply favoured by white-collar workers, office professionals and many distinguished socialites. However, some watch enthusiasts have very little knowledge about watches and are often easily misled by unscrupulous merchants, spending their money without being able to buy a watch to their satisfaction! Below, I will introduce to you how to tell the difference between mechanical and quartz watches! WIDTH
Methods to distinguish between mechanical and quartz watches WIDTH
Usually, the dial or case back of a watch will be marked with "Quartz" or "Automatic", allowing you to clearly tell whether it is a quartz or mechanical watch. Another method of identification is to observe how the second hand moves. If the second hand moves in a one-second-at-a-time ticking motion, then the watch is a quartz watch; conversely, if it does not move in a ticking motion, it is a mechanical watch. If you notice the second hand moving two or four seconds at a time, the watch is still a quartz watch, except that when you see your second hand moving with such a gait, it is issuing a warning to you to replace the battery. Some quartz watches with better designs feature this mechanism, moving four or five seconds at a time to give you advance notice that the battery needs to be changed. WIDTH
