About Quartz watches

How does a quartz watch manage to measure time with such extreme precision? The secret lies in a tiny, synthetic quartz crystal shaped like a tuning fork. When the button cell (battery) in the watch energizes this crystal, it begins to vibrate – at an incredibly constant frequency of exactly 32,768 times per second. An integrated microchip counts these vibrations. As soon as the number 32,768 is reached, the chip sends an electrical impulse to a tiny stepper motor. This motor then moves the gear for the second hand forward by precisely one step (one second). This electronic timing is so perfectly calibrated that factors such as gravity or the watch's position – which significantly affect mechanical watches – play no role in a quartz watch.

FAQs for Quartz watches

How often does the battery need to be changed in a quartz watch?

A high-quality quartz watch typically has a battery life of two to three years. However, the exact lifespan depends heavily on the watch's functions. Frequent use of the stopwatch function on a chronograph or frequent activation of the backlight on a digital watch consumes more power and drains the battery faster.
How does the technology of quartz watches work?

Quartz watches function using a quartz movement. A quartz oscillator generates a one-second pulse that either drives a stepper motor or an electric balance wheel in a mechanical movement, or provides the timing for an electronic circuit. The power source is usually a battery. The time is displayed using mechanical hands, an LCD, or an LED.
Which target group does the watch brand Seiko address with its Prospex line?

The Seiko Prospex line appeals to adventurers, athletes and divers.
What is the main advantage of quartz watches over mechanical watches in terms of accuracy?

Quartz watches are significantly superior to mechanical watches in terms of accuracy. They are more precise and exhibit much smaller deviations.
