When it comes to buying a watch, the decision can feel overwhelming. Where do you begin<\/span> <\/span>and what differences should you focus on? One key factor to consider is the movement type, which could very well be the deciding factor for your watch choice. Advances in technology have introduced a wide variety of movement types that power modern timepieces, but before these innovations, manual movements were the standard. Today, the two most common types of watch movements are automatic and quartz. Each movement has its own unique features, making it essential for buyers to understand their differences. Continue reading to learn more about each movement, as this decision will undoubtedly influence your overall watch-wearing experience.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-9px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#D6D6D6″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-27px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

What Is an Automatic Watch Movement?<\/h2>\n

An automatic watch movement, also known as a <\/span><\/span>self-winding <\/span>watch <\/span>movement<\/span><\/span>, is a type of mechanical movement powered by the motion of the wearer’s wrist. Inside the watch is a small rotor\u2014a semi-circular weight\u2014that moves <\/span>with<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the wearer\u2019s arm<\/span>. This motion winds the mainspring, which stores energy to power the watch. <\/span><\/span>Since they are powered by the wearer’s motion, automatic watches <\/span>do<\/span>n\u2019t<\/span> <\/span>require batteries. <\/span>Automatic watches typically have a power reserve <\/span>of <\/span>24 to <\/span>72 hours<\/span>, m<\/span>ean<\/span>ing<\/span> if the watch <\/span>is<\/span>n\u2019t<\/span> <\/span>worn for an extended period, it will stop and need to be manually <\/span>wound <\/span>or worn again to restart the movement. <\/span><\/span>A watch winder<\/a> is a <\/span>convenient <\/span>solution to <\/span><\/span>keep an automatic watch running when <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> not being worn regularly<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span>The constant winding and intricate engineering make automatic watches particularly attractive to those who appreciate\u00a0traditional watchmaking.<\/span> <\/span>Many collectors and watch enthusiasts enjoy the experience of winding their watches or <\/span>observing<\/span> the mechanical movement.<\/span> <\/span>Automatic watches are <\/span>g<\/span><\/span>enerally more<\/span> expensive <\/span>because of <\/span>the complexity of the movement and the craftsmanship involved.<\/span> <\/span>Additionally, they <\/span>may <\/span>require <\/span>servicing <\/span><\/a>over time <\/span>to <\/span>maintain<\/span> <\/span>optimal<\/span> performance, particularly due to the <\/span>wear and tear of the <\/span>mechanical <\/span>components<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-10px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/watches?watch_movement_type=Automatic%2FSelf+Winding” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Shop Automatic Watches” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#D6D6D6″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-29px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

What Is a Quartz Watch Movement?<\/h2>\n

A quartz watch movement is powered by a small, battery-operated quartz crystal<\/span> that<\/span> vibrates at a precise frequency when an electrical current passes through it. These vibrations are <\/span>then <\/span>translated into timekeeping signals that drive the watch hands. <\/span><\/span>Quartz watches are known for <\/span>their exceptional accuracy<\/span>, often\u00a0<\/span>deviating by only a few seconds per year.<\/span> <\/span><\/span>Unlike automatic watches, <\/span>quartz watches <\/span>do<\/span>n\u2019<\/span>t<\/span> <\/span>require winding or regular wearing to <\/span>keep <\/span>time.<\/span> They need<\/span> <\/span>minimal maintenance aside from occasional battery replacements.<\/span> <\/span>The battery in a quartz <\/span>watch<\/span> typically lasts one to two years, after which it needs to be replaced. <\/span><\/span>Once the battery is <\/span>changed<\/span>, <\/span>the watch <\/span>will continue to run<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>effort<\/span>lessly<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>Quartz<\/span> <\/span>movements <\/span>are <\/span>g<\/span>enerally less<\/span> <\/span>expensive <\/span><\/span>due to their simpler design compared to automatic movement<\/span>s, making<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>quartz watches more accessible<\/span> and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>offering<\/span> <\/span>a wide range of options for different budgets.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/1MCLW1154-3ST001709-STYLED-WATCH-remove-rips-from-jeans-2_EDIT-1500×1298-1.jpg” alt=”Michele Deco Madison Mid 31mm Watch, Diamond and Silver White Sunray Dial Quartz Watch” title_text=”1MCLW1154, 3ST001709, STYLED, WATCH – remove rips from jeans-2_EDIT-1500×1298″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”89.1%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-17px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/watches?watch_movement_type=Quartz” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Shop Quartz Watches” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”12px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-3px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#D6D6D6″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-29px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Which Watch Movement Should You Choose?<\/h2>\n

Choosing between an automatic and a quartz watch movemen<\/span>t <\/span>largely <\/span>comes<\/span> down to <\/span>personal preference and <\/span>lifestyle<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/span>Go for an automatic movement if you appreciate craftsmanship, mechanical <\/span>engineering<\/span> and the tradition of watchmaking. Automatic watches are ideal for collectors or those who enjoy the ritual of winding their watch and\u00a0<\/span>caring for<\/span> <\/span><\/span>a finely crafted<\/span> timepiece. <\/span>T<\/span>here\u2019s<\/span> also <\/span>the satisfaction of wearing a self-winding watc<\/span>h that <\/span>operates<\/span> purely through your natural movements.<\/span> <\/span>On the other hand, choose <\/span>a quartz movement if you value precision, <\/span>convenience<\/span> <\/span>and low-maintenance timekeeping. Quartz watches are perfect for those who prioritize accuracy over the complexity of the mech<\/span>anics. <\/span>They’r<\/span>e<\/span> also <\/span>a <\/span>savvy<\/span> <\/span>option<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for individuals <\/span><\/span>who prefer not to worry about winding or manually resetting their watch.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#D6D6D6″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-27px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]
