The plural of quartz is quartz or quartzes.
Quartz is used in watches because of its piezoelectric properties, which means it can generate a small electric charge when pressure is applied to it. In quartz watches, an electronic oscillator is used to regulate the timekeeping accuracy by vibrating at a specific frequency when a current is applied. This precise vibration allows quartz watches to keep time accurately.
