Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Difference Between A Self - Winding And Manual - Winding Movement?
Manual Wind (Mechanical) Watch Movement
There are no batteries required to power this movement. It is completely driven by the mainspring, which is wound by hand. Then, because of the series of gears and other components, this tension is slowly released, driving the tiny gears that are responsible for the watch’s movement.
This spring needs to be wound up on a daily basis, though you may have to set the time again if it goes too long without being wound. The watch needs to be wound until resistance is felt.
Automatic Watch Movement
Rather than requiring manual winding every day, an automatic (or self-winding) watch uses a special rotor that is attached to the watch’s movement to keep the mainspring wound tight.
The addition of a set of weighted gears and ball bearings can wind the spring with nothing more than your natural arm and wrist movements.
If you don’t wear the watch for a few days, you’ll need to reset the time when you put it back on. Some automatic watches can also be manually wound if they haven’t been worn for some time to give them a boost.
Some other things to keep in mind is that automatic and mechanical watches can sometimes be slightly less accurate than quartz watches since environmental changes can affect the movement.
Quartz Watch Movement
Quartz movements are battery. Using the vibrations of the quartz inside it to move watch’s components.
Quartz vibrates tens of thousands of times per second, which creates a signal with a very precise frequency. When you run an electrical current through that, a constant frequency can be measured by a circuit and converted into one pulse per second.
This is what makes the movement so accurate.
These watches have fewer moving parts which makes them a great choice for regular use since there’s less chance of them being damaged during regular activities.
Some Quartz watches are powered by a capacitor, which is charged by the sun or movement. Over time like any rechargeable battery, they can stop holding charge as well and require replacement.
