Quartz vs Automatic Movements
What powers a watch, how the two main types differ, and which suits you.
Quick Facts
Introduction
The movement is the mechanism that keeps time. Most watches use one of two types, and the choice affects accuracy, upkeep and how the watch feels to own.
Quartz
A quartz movement is powered by a battery and regulated by a quartz crystal. It is very accurate, needs little attention and keeps running when the watch is off your wrist. The second hand moves in distinct ticks.
Automatic
An automatic movement is mechanical. A weighted rotor turns as you move and winds the mainspring, so the watch powers itself while worn. The second hand moves in a smooth sweep. Left unworn for a couple of days, it will stop and need setting again.
Which to choose
- Choose quartz if you rotate between watches or want the least upkeep.
- Choose automatic if you wear one watch most days and enjoy the mechanics.
