High-end watches have always admired mechanical watches, because only mechanical watches driven by levers, gears, springs, springs, etc. can show the mechanics of micro-mechanics, while the design and polishing technology of parts highlight the craftsmanship of watches . However, the disadvantage of mechanical watches is that the power reserve is always limited. If you often wear the automatic winding style, it is fine, otherwise you must often manually wind the chain, because only a very small number of very high-priced watches can provide up to 30 days of power. Some models only have about 1.5 to 3 days of power. Therefore, many brands are still launching watches with quartz movement. Although the battery needs to be replaced every two or three years, quartz is more accurate than mechanical watches and has the advantages of not needing to be wound. From the perspective of daily life watches , which is actually very convenient.

Secondly, the price of quartz watches is much cheaper than that of mechanical watches, and the price-performance ratio is naturally high. Obviously, for watch fans who like to play, don’t want to wind up and adjust the time every few days, and have high requirements for accuracy. quite attractive.
