Gears are the main method of circular motion since the dawn of time, and a huge part in horology (which nowadays is a study of and a hobby of collecting timekeeping devices). However, you will tend to see more gears in mechanical watches than quartz watches.

How do watches that do not have batteries run?
Some watches do not require batteries. These watches are called Kinetic watched and are actually powered by the motion of the weareräó»s arm. Electrical energy is produced by the weight of this motion. This energy then sends impulses to the gears that move the watchäó»s hands.
How do analog watches work?
Depends on the type of movement. Mechanical watches uses a wound-up spring to provide the power that drives the gears and escapement. Quartz watches typically rely on a battery, which powers a small electronic circuit which involves a quartz crystal to keep time.
What do the different movements of watches?
The two main categories are mechanical and quartz. Mechanical watches are split into two categories: manual and self-winding (aka automatic watch). Mechanical watches are powered by a wound spring that drives the gears. Automatic watches have a small spinning weight (called a rotor) that helps wind the spring which powers the watch. Manual watches rely on the watchwearer to wind the crown (knobs on a watch). Quartz watches are mostly powered by batteries and use the fast vibration of a quartz crystal to keep time.
Why quartz watch runs slow?
they have gears just like mechanical watches and those moving gears have small amounts of watch oil, after years the oil dries and slows down the watch and eventually will kill the circuid board but most of the time it will run slow until you have a watchmaker take it apart and clean it and put fresh oil.
Are there gears in clocks?
Yes, there are gears in some clocks.
What is the type of gear used in watches?
Spur Gears.
What things have gear inside or outside of a objects?
Clocks and watches have internal gears. Bicycles and can openers have external gears.
Where spur gears are used?
spur gears are used because there are many things such as bicycles that cant exist without a spur gear' > gearboxes, mechanical watches, cam drives
What are some things that can be syncronized?
Just a few off the top of my head.....dancers, watches and clocks, gears, and swimmers, carburetors,

What are the advantages of spur gears?
They are compact and easy to install. Spur gears are not prone to slippage like a belt drive is. They have a wide range of applications such as fuel pumps, clock, watches, marine engines, metal cutting machines, and washing machines.

What was built with a gear in it?
Almost everything! Watches, cars, toy cars, robots, most machines, most mechanical object use gears to transmit motion and power.
How was accurate time established before electronic communication?
Pocket watches, wrist watches, grandfather clocks, and large church clocks do not actually require electronic powering. They are put together using gears and simple machines; in other words they are mechanical and not electronic. Before electricity was used to power watches and clocks, they had to be wound on a regular basis. Before clocks and watches, time was kept track of by the position of the sun in the sky.
What is the correct possessive form for watches?
That would be watches.
What types of watches does Fossil have for men?
casual Watches, Formal Watches, Sports Watches, Chronograph Watches and Multi functional Watches. You can check out all of these watches at yepme.com and find many other types of mens watches.
