What is a Quartz watch? Everything you need to know before buying a Quartz watch

what is a quartz watch

Fans regard quartz timepieces as flawless works of art created by famous designers. Quartz watches have subtly captured the hearts of all watch lovers with their delicate beauty. So what is Quartz watch? How can I tell a Quartz watch apart from of watches? With Julius, let’s read the article below to discover more about the Quartz watch.

What is a Quartz watch and how does it work?

The true meaning of the Quartz watch

A Quartz watch is a specific kind of watch with a movement that is powered by a “quartz crystal.” When in an electric field, the crystal oscillates, powering the watch. To make it simpler to grasp, Quartz watches are powered by a battery that powers an electromagnet that drives a specific IC-controlled gear mechanism in a cycle. The most affordable timepieces on the market right now are Quartz watches, which are generally powered by batteries.

What is a Quartz watch and how does it work?

The mineral quartz is widely distributed in the crust of the planet and is mostly composed of the silicate compound silicon dioxide and sand. Oxygen and the chemical element silicon combine to form quartz. These components are plentiful, which is why quartz is rising in popularity.

The primary characteristic of this mineral is that it is piezoelectric; this ability to generate an electric current is also referred to as the piezoelectric effect. Quartz is regarded as the best option to utilize as a clock display device in particular because they are fairly affordable and also includes a reverse voltage device.

How does Quartz watch work?

The Quartz watch’s mechanism is as follows:

  • The quartz crystals receive electrical energy from the battery via an electronic microprocessor.
  • The frequency at which quartz crystals oscillate is fixed at 32768 vibrations per string.
  • For one second, the electronic circuit continuously produces electrical pulses by counting the number of vibrations.
  • The LCD panel can show the electrical pulses. The pedal motor will pick up the electrical pulse if the clock is needle-operated.
  • The gear will be turned by the pedal motor.
  • The dial’s hands are turned by gears.

What is “high accuracy Quartz”?

Why are Quartz watches more accurate than mechanical watches? There are many factors, but the fundamental principles of physics are the first.

When you crank a mechanical watch’s mainspring or wrist movement, energy is transferred through the gears and then must pass through another procedure in order to move the watch hands. The watch has numerous parts, which leads to friction and energy loss, decreasing the watch’s accuracy.

Because the energy from the battery is sent directly to the quartz crystal in Quartz watches, friction and energy loss are not an issue. Speaking about oscillations, a Quartz watch maintains time considerably more consistently than a mechanical watch, regardless of how skillfully it is made. Even the greatest Swiss watchmakers are unable to control the physical laws that result from a mechanical watch’s intricate operation.

What is “high accuracy Quartz”?

Finally, the earth’s natural forces, notable gravity in this case, have an impact on the watch’s accuracy. Gravity affects everything, including the components of the movement. Manufacturers have battled to resist this impact, and several solutions, including the addition of the tourbillon, have been suggested.

Gravity’s effects on watches have been mostly eradicated by modern mechanical watch designs, but with Quartz watches, it doesn’t even matter. Regardless of gravity, quartz crystals vibrate at a constant frequency. One side is most true, while the other is positively untrue.

What is Meca-Quartz?

According to our understanding is that the terms “mecaquartz” or “meca-quartz” (short for the mechanical module for operating the chronograph and quartz technology) refers to a machine that is driven by a quartz battery, has a sports chronograph function, and has the advantage of a stapler. Quartz watch ports periods go quite easily.

Most logically, the mecha-quartz mechanism has two stages, much like many mechanical chronograph models. The first stage is a chronograph, which is a genuine quartz system. The second stage is a chronograph system that is driven by the first stage’s gears. As a result, the chronograph seconds hand still scans like a mechanical watch, but with the correct battery type, the navel hand continues to bounce every second.

Why are Quartz watches worth investing in?

Low cost, simple to purchase

The price is the primary factor in the appeal of Quartz watches. In all honesty, a Quartz watch can cost as much as 30,000 VND, and there are many different and rich Quartz watch product lines.

Unlike automatic watches, which have exorbitant prices, Quartz watches come in a variety of styles and range in price from soft to inexpensive. For just a few hundred thousand vnd, you can purchase an opulent and well-made watch. As a result, this product is being widely promoted everywhere.

Diverse design, appropriate for a wide range of users

Quartz watches are more than just a simple analog face. Now, there are many other variations of this type of watch, and many manufacturers now blend Quartz watches with other watch types (for example, with internal mechanical movements).

Quartz watches started to gain popularity and spread due to its availability, vast range of models, and affordable pricing. Look at the Quartz range of watches if you want a watch with lots of alternatives and a fair price.

High accuracy

Theoretically, Quartz watches are considered to be more accurate than mechanical watches. An average Quartz watch has a +/- 0.5 second-per-day inaccuracy rate. The inaccuracy of mechanical timepieces, meanwhile, ranges from -10 to +20 seconds per day.

Since there are no longer any physical factors that could alter the accuracy of the watch, Swiss engineers have created automatic watches that are accurate to the hundredth of a second. the apex of tourbillon engineering. But keep in mind that those gadgets are quite pricey, “showing off” the level and reinforcing the brand’s position with little to no practical use.

Additional characteristics of Quartz watches

The evolution of the global watch business has also led to a substantial improvement in watch kinds and the addition of numerous new functions, particularly for Quartz watches. For instance, Quartz watches in the high-end series now have much better water resistance.

Not only that, but some varieties of Quartz watch items have great durability, don’t burn or rust, and won’t chip or scratch when struck. What do you think? I find this feature to be intriguing as well.

Not only that, but when you wear a watch in your hand, you worry a lot that the glass will hit anything else and scratch the watch. However, you no longer need to worry about it because some Quartz watch models, which cost just over VND 1.5 million, already come with premium scratch-resistant glass.
