What happens to light when it hits transparent or opaque liquid crystal in a digital watch?
light passes through transparent, and reflects off opaque.
Why do they use quartz in clocks?
Quartz crystals, when properly sized, oscillate (vibrate) at fixed frequencies. These frequencies are not affected by temperature variations, other vibrations, radio waves, etc.A small quartz crystal will oscillate at 32,768 hertz (cycles per second) given a low amount of power (like that of a watch battery).Since the number 32,768 is a power of 2, and can easily be counted by a digital counter, the quartz crystal oscillator is a perfect match for use in a digital watch. Simply put, each time the crystal oscillates, the circuitry in the watch increments a 15-bit binary digital counter. Once the counter resets to 0, one second has passed.
Do you have to wind a quartz movement watch?
Many analogue watches nowadays use what's called a piezo-electric crystal to generate the energy required to function. In essence a piezo-electric crystal will generate an electric current when it is deformed, which can be achieved simply by applying a force to it (such as the one generated by the movement of your arm when you're wearing the watch). Recently, Nokia patented the first self-charging mobile phone, which uses the same principles in order to charge itself.
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.
How does a quartz watch works?
It works by using the piezoelectric effect: if a small voltage is applied to a specially prepared crystal of quartz it vibrates at a definite and almost constant frequency which can be used to power a tiny motor to turn the hands of the watch.
How can i watch the crystal light commercial?
There are three good ways to watch the crystal light commercial. However, the one recommended is to go to the crystal light website and try to watch it directly from there.

How do you change the battery in geneve OGW154WR watch?
The back of the Geneve OGW154WR watch is solid and without slots. To remove the battery, the crystal and set pin need to be removed by a competent jeweler, using a tool designed for removal of the crystal. If you try to remove the crystal with a screw driver, you'll likely damage the crystal, and if you are fortunate enough to remove the crystal in tact, you won't be able to put it back in. My advice is to take this watch to a competent jeweler for service.

Where can you find a replacement face for eco drive Citizen watches?
Dependant on if you mean the face where the numbers sit, or the crystal, you can take the watch to any jewellery store that carries Citizen watches. Some stores may have a watchmaker who can replace the crystal for you, or the jewellery store can take care of sending the watch to Citizen to get the face or the crystal replaced. Note that only the inner workings of the watch are covered by the 5-year warrenty.
