Wrist Quartz Watch

Quartz watches are a real classic that both men and women can use to decorate their bows. You will learn about the features of these decorations from this article.

The very first watches of this type were released in the middle of the last century. Then such an accessory was offered by Hamilton. Since 1957, the GOST, according to which such watches are created, has changed dramatically.

Later, in 1978, practical watch appeared, which could be used not only for its intended purpose, but also for calculation. This more modern model was equipped with a miniature computing mechanism. The keys of these watches had to be pressed with the tip of a ballpoint pen, because they are very small.

Mechanics have long been popular and was considered a fashionable attribute, in demand in both female and male images. Initially, they were worn only in the West, but then the fashion for comfortable quartz watches migrated to the East of Europe. So watch with a quartz movement appeared in the USSR.

The decline in popularity of this product experienced in the sixties of the last century. Then the level of their sales in Switzerland fell by almost half. They managed to restore a high level of sales only two decades later. Today, many prestigious brands use quartz movements to create their watches. And Switzerland is once again considered the leader in sales and at the same time the country producing one of the highest quality watches.

If you do not know what “quartz movement” means and what this type of watch represents, then this information will help you understand it a little better. When creating such watch movements, quartz crystal is used. On the one hand, this is good, because due to this, the watches are quite cheap. But over time, quartz crystals wear out, so the clock begins to lag behind. So many such a short service life stops from buying.

But this is not a sentence at all. The device can be periodically carried to a workshop where you will be customized. Of course, this is not very convenient, but still the clock does not have to be sent to the trash immediately after you notice that they began to show the wrong time.

Quartz watches are quite simple and intuitive. They consist of a power source (as it can be a regular battery or any rechargeable element if necessary), a generator with a convenient and inexpensive quartz resonator, gears with arrows and castors that regulate all this. Also, some watches can be supplemented with a built-in alarm clock, respectively, a wheel, which helps to set it up.

As is the case with other watches, there is a conditional division into female and male models of watches.

Determining a copy in front of you or an original at first glance is almost impossible, especially if you are faced with buying a watch for the first time. Swindlers are often very skillful, and when creating a copy, they repeat the shape of the clock, the logo, and some small recognizable details.

But still completely cope with this task is quite difficult. Therefore, you can still notice some ridiculous mistakes. For example, mistake in writing the brand name, poorly made logo or bad finish of the strap and the base of the dial

It is also quite obvious that if the price of the accessory is noticeably lower than that of other sellers, then the product is unlikely to be of high quality. The exceptions are used goods.

When using the watch, their owner has a lot of questions - whether you need to start your new watch manually before why they lag behind in time.. If you are faced with a problem, it is best to take your jewelry for repairs. In the workshop they are quickly repaired. But at the same time they will take money from you for repairs and for the parts that will be needed for this.

But if the clock just lags behind or stops, then you will reconfigure it. It will take some time. And sellers of high-quality jewelry, as a rule, give them a guarantee, providing long-term maintenance and repair.

But in some cases you can fix the problem with your own hands, especially if your watch needs simple battery replacement. Also, after a long service, the chip may break. It is she who is responsible for issuing pulses to an electromagnet. Therefore, if it is broken, the arrows stop. Replacing this part is not difficult, but here it is rather difficult to find it on sale.

But if you do not have any experience in repairing watches, then you shouldn’t disassemble the accessory yourself - trust this question to professionals.

Quartz mechanisms receive different feedback from users. Someone complains that they are not accurate enough, while others, on the contrary, argue that these are the best watches.
