Are Quartz watches the best over digital?

Quartz watches actually use quartz crystals to keep time. Quartz is related to the time keeping mechanism. Quartz watches can also have digital display.The word 'digital' refers only to the display and not mechanism type.


What does it means a quartz watch?

It is a watch that uses an oscillator based on a quartz crystal to electronically keep time. Older watches used gears and an escape mechanism to govern the speed. In a quartz watch, a precision cut piece of quartz is used in part of a circuit to generate a specific frequency. A quartz clock works similarly, but the quartz oscillator is used to control the speed of a motor.


Why is the time given by quartz clock supposed to be accurate?

The question indicates a basic lack of clock mechanism or electronics knowledge. A quartz clock *can* be horridly IN-accurate if the rest of the mechanism of off kilter. Quartz crystals are used to count time due to their consistent frequency of vibration. And it is a safe and inexpensive application of technology. Radioactive atomic clocks are also used, but you don't want one on your wrist or in your house. - side note: most smoke detectors have a tiny radioactive "source" in them


Can you give me a sentence with the word mechanic in it?

Most of the wrist watches operate on quartz mechanism. It is necessary to understand the mechanism in a car to perform minor repairs.

What and how a quartz clock mechanism works?

A quartz clock is a clock that uses an electronic oscillator that is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. This crystal oscillator creates a signal with very precise frequency, so that quartz clocks are at least an order of magnitude more accurate than good mechanical clocks. Generally, some form of digital logiccounts the cycles of this signal and provides anumeric time display, usually in units of hours,minutes, and seconds. Since the 1970s, they have become the most widely used timekeeping technology.
