1, mechanical watches cost more, quartz watches cost less and have more functions.
This mechanical watch is marked automatic: The quartz watch is marked Shi Ying.
3, the mechanical watch case is relatively thick; Shi Ying case is light and thin.
4. Mechanical watches need to be wound; Quartz watches don't need winding.
5. Mechanical watches have errors of several seconds or even dozens of seconds every day; The daily error of quartz watch is within 0.5 seconds.
The attraction of a mechanical watch is that it is a work of art, and its movement and polishing process are worth pondering. For obsessed fans, the subtle collision and friction of mechanical watch gears are intoxicating. Enthusiasts take apart their watches, take pictures of all angles of the movement with professional cameras, enlarge the photos and play with them carefully. This is one of the reasons why mechanical watches are more expensive.
But its shortcomings are also obvious-there are errors when walking, and even great errors. A day ranges from tens of seconds to several minutes. Precisely because it is a high-tech activity to make a mechanical watch accurate, every time the watch is made accurate, the energy spent by the watch dealer will increase exponentially, and so will the price. The same brand, the Observatory is several times larger than the ordinary one, and tourbillon can reach more than ten times. However, the improvement of travel time accuracy may only change from ten seconds to 1 second.
The conclusion is that to choose a mechanical watch, you have to regard it as an ornament, a work of art or even a luxury, not just a timing tool. If we pay more attention to the role of time, it is not suitable for ordinary people who lack artistic vision to appreciate fine machinery. I stopped wearing it for a while. You must adjust the time. For addicts, it is also a pleasure to manually wind up and adjust the time, but it may only add trouble to ordinary people.
