How to choose between a quartz watch and a mechanical watch?

Which is better to start with, a quartz watch or a mechanical watch? This is the problem most people will encounter when buying a watch. Mechanical watches look high-end and elegant, especially those models with complex functions such as tourbillon and minute repeater, and the back of the watch are even more eye-catching. But the quartz watch also has its advantages. The time is accurate, and you don’t need to take care of it like a mechanical watch. It saves worry and effort. Both have their own advantages. As a watch manufacturer, we customize quartz watches and mechanical watches for watch brands in various countries around the world. At the same time, we have communicated with customers many times and summarized several key points for choosing quartz watches or mechanical watches.

1. The choice of quartz watch or mechanical watch depends on your actual needs

Whether to buy a mechanical watch or a quartz watch, you must first consider your purchase purpose. By definition, a mechanical watch achieves travel time through purely physical mechanical winding, transmission, and escapement, while quartz relies on electricity to supply energy. In terms of products, mechanical watches generally have a larger travel time error than quartz watches; quartz watches are accurate in travel time and low in cost, and the price of the same brand is often cheaper than mechanical watches. Of course, when it comes to taste and value, it often has nothing to do with it.

If you want to choose a mechanical watch, you have to regard the watch as an accessory, a work of art, or even a luxury product, not just a timing tool. If you pay more attention to the function of telling the time, mechanical watches are not a good choice for ordinary people who lack the artistic vision to appreciate fine machinery. If you don’t wear them for a period of time, they will stop and you have to adjust the time.

2. Choosing a quartz watch or a mechanical watch depends on your personal preference

This is the decisive factor in buying a watch. Even if it is a quartz watch, if you like it, you can buy it without hesitation, but if you don’t like it, you will give it up without hesitation even if it is a mechanical watch. For some people who regard watches as accessories that are frequently changed, quartz watches are more colorful, have more styles, have more choices, and cheaper, which may be more popular with them. And for those who are obsessed with mechanical charm, even if they save money, they must take home their beloved mechanical watch.

Whether the quartz watch is better or the mechanical watch is better, in the final analysis, still depends on personal preferences and needs. There is no need to think that quartz watches are cheap and not high-grade. Don’t you see that those big brands still produce quartz watches? There is absolutely no need to think that mechanical watches are just pretending to show off. Zifeiyu knows the joy of fish. After all, the charm of machinery has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there must be its charm. Let us make more calm and objective choices instead of blindly following others.

3. The choice of quartz watch or mechanical watch depends on your budget

Price should be said to be an important factor in buying a watch. Most people have a common understanding that the price of general mechanical watches is higher than that of quartz watches. Of course, you cannot compare those quartz watches produced by big brands with mechanical watches of ordinary brands. If you only have a budget of 500, it is recommended to buy a quartz watch; if you have a budget of 1,000, there are some mechanical watches to choose from, but the playability is average; if you have a higher budget, there are many more choices.
