There are plenty of pros and cons to owning either a quartz or automatic timepiece. Quartz watches are powered by batteries, which have to be replaced about every two years. They are usually more economical and are an extremely great value.
Automatic watches do not require batteries and rely on the movement and motion of user’s arm. Many automatic models are self-wound as well. However, when you take the watch off it will wind down in 10 to 72 hours depending upon the power reserve inside. A watch winder is one solution to keeping an automatic watch running, when you’re not wearing it.
An easy way to tell the difference between an automatic or quartz watch is the movement on the second hand of each. Automatic styles have a smooth second hand operation that runs continuously in a fluid sweeping movement. Quartz models have a second hand operation with a pulsating repeated starting and stopping action.
