Which do you prefer, quartz or mechanical watches? I'm a big fan of mechanical, they're the reason I really fell in love with watches, but I can appreciate a great quartz as well.

If you want great accuracy buy a quartz watch. If enjoy craftsmanship buy a mechanical watch. If you want accuray and craftsmanship buy a Grand Seiko. ;-)

Then you got Seiko with their Spring Drive, a Mechanical and Quartz hybrid wizardry.

One of my high school teacher had a mechanical watch. We always see him spinning the crown of his watch when he wasn't teaching and we wondered what he was doing! Only in my later years when I learned of mechanical watch, I understood his quirk. RIP Sir.

If you're new to mechanical watches, buy one with tranparent back. You'll enjoy the movement and some of these are not expensive at all.

Watches are fascinating as such precise engineering is required to make it work with the parts being so small

My grandfather gave my father a seiko watch of gold colour and after almost 30 years it still works

My dad has one Seiko mechanical watch,
I never knew this was something unique
now it made that watch even cooler!

I’ve watched countless videos of people explaining the difference between the two and I just couldn’t could not understand. You e explained it in 1min and I couldn’t thank you enough for the simple, easy to follow explanation. Thank you.

My grandmother had once gifted a mechanical watch to my father back in 1992 when he got a job. My father still has that watch and it works just fine till date. I think I'll keep it as a family heirloom when I grow up.

There's also an interesting watch type that's just a quartz watch that's solar powered. Pretty affordable at only a couple hundred. Highly recommend.

Amazing video i wanted to know how my mechanical watch gets its power other videos just say that the it gets its power from that but you actually explained how it does that. Didn't expect this level of quality from a short.

I'm a watchmaker student and i'm still always amazed how mechanical watches are such an instruments of fine mechanics and very very delicate parts. You don't realize how sensitive and precise those movements are until you start disassembling them and have difficulties in even seeing some of the screws and parts.

Totally new information about all these.. thanks ☺️

My Grandfather had 3 automatic and 2 cog . And he use to flex it really hard because at that time it was statement of success as they were expensive . And as per he people does use to notice that success statement on his hand.

Digital watches are quartz crystal but use a d flip flop chip and a multiplexer chip for the lcd display

[raresboghean]

I use a soviet mechanical wach is way better than battery one and is frendly enviroment

My father had an old watch with that rotor-gyroscope thing on the back, when I was young I thought it was some kind of compass lol

[barsaumoartan]

a very technical topic very simple explained 👍🏻

My wife has a Fossil mechanical watch. She only wears it for special occassions so we have to wind it every time. It's so cool though.
