Is a watch better an electronic watch or a mechanical watch?

Quartz watch: is an electronic watch, is dependent on the battery to power the watch.

Advantages: Battery-powered watches are timely and accurate, and the process is not complex to make the price relatively affordable, more compact "body" is very suitable for female compatriots;

Disadvantages: Nothing is perfect, there will be certain defects, the quartz watch watch limitations on the battery. Battery, in general, a battery can maintain a watch up to two or three years of normal work, and after that is to change the battery, and normally, the life of the quartz watch in about ten years, when the quartz amplitude decreases, go time is not accurate.

Mechanical watch: is through the movement inside the clockwork rotation to provide power, do not need batteries to provide power. So the working principle of the two watches, mechanical and quartz, is different, and you can skip the trouble of changing batteries.

Advantages: The biggest advantage of the mechanical watch is that you don't need to change the battery, and if the watch stops, you only need to twist the crown to replenish the power to the mechanical watch, and the life span of the mechanical watch will be relatively long, which is also better than the quartz watch.

Disadvantages: Mechanical watches are made up of many mechanical parts, which makes them bulky and very troublesome to be wound regularly.

They have their own advantages, the quartz watch time accurate, stylish and thin appearance, about two years need to change the battery, the movement life is not as long as the mechanical watch; mechanical watch daily error is relatively large, and the quartz watch compared to the thicker, but do not need to change the battery, the service life is relatively long, the appreciation of the movement will be stronger than the quartz. Because many brands have mechanical watches and quartz watches on the same style.
