Q: The difference between quartz watches and automatic watches

A:Mechanical watches operate on purely mechanical principles. The energy source is the kinetic energy stored in the mainspring of the movement. The kinetic energy released by the mainspring can drive the gear and then push the hands. According to the power source, it can be divided into two forms: manual winding and automatic winding; quartz watches use quartz (Quartz) The principle of regular vibration under electric drive, and then use the electric energy of the battery to drive the small electric motor in the movement, and the motor pushes the pointer to go

Q: Where does the kinetic energy of an automatic watch come from?

A: Automatic mechanical watches, the automatic winding mechanism generates the power to run
As long as the watch is worn on the hand, with the movement of the arm, the automatic tourbillon can
When the watch is worn on the hand, with the movement of the arm, the automatic tourbillon can rotate with it to produce energy. In other words, only when the watch is worn on the hand, the hair
This means that the watch will not stop until the winding mechanism is constantly replenished.

Q: How do I wind an automatic watch?

A: Turn the stem counterclockwise and pull it out, and turn it clockwise 10-20 times to initially wind the barrel.
Automatic watches are usually in a stopped state when they come out of the counter. After receiving the watch, you first need to wind it fully (rotate the handle clockwise 25 times), after that, as long as you wear it for enough time every day, the automatic tourbillon can replenish the energy to the winding so that the automatic watch can go normally.

Q: Why does a fully automatic mechanical watch stop?

A: One of the reasons is the movement, the other is the lack of energy;
Many friends mainly because it is sitting in the office, or just sitting every day
Drinking tea work caused by the lack of kinetic energy to make their mechanical watch stopped or
The slow walking.
Generally, new automatic mechanical watches are generally in the stop state, and the first time on the full
After the winding is fully wound for the first time, as long as it is worn for enough time every day, the automatic tourbillon can replenish the energy of the winding, so that the automatic watch can keep time normally.
So when the second hand of the mechanical watch on your wrist has stopped turning, it is most likely
Because you haven't gotten your body moving lately, your watch is reminding you that it's time to get up and go. Even if you buy a $10,000+ automatic watch, it will often stop working if you don't let it move regularly.

Q: Are automatic watches waterproof?

A: The vast majority of automatic watches are life water resistant, you can wear them to wash your face and brush your teeth or surf, but swimming and diving are not recommended. In addition, all watches are not water vapor-proof, so you cannot take a shower with your watch on.

Q: How do I take care of my automatic watch?

A: Automatic watches do not contain batteries, so the quality of automatic watches is higher than quartz watches. It is better to wind the automatic watch once every 2 days, do not put it in the place of humidity, dusty, high temperature and the existence of strong magnetic field, and do not collide or shake it violently.
