Quartz watch

A quartz watch keeps time using a tiny piece of quartz crystal, which vibrates at a precise frequency when an electric current is applied. A battery sends electricity to the crystal through a circuit, causing it to oscillate consistently—typically at 32,768 vibrations per second. These vibrations are converted into regular electrical pulses that drive a small motor, moving the watch’s hands accurately. Quartz watches are known for their precision, reliability, and affordability, making them popular for everyday use. They require minimal maintenance compared to mechanical watches and can maintain accurate time over long periods.
