It is very important before you buy a watch that you know all existing kinds of watch movements. They are : Quartz Watches, Manual Wind Watches , and Automatic Watches(Self-Winding )

QUARTZ WATCHES:

There are three types of Quartz watches. They are the regular quartz , auto-quartz, and solar. The regular quartz runs with batteries. This particular kind of watch requires very little maintenance , usually a battery replacement every other year. The second type of quartz movement is a mixture of quartz and self-winding watch. In other words the part of the mechanism that is automatic charges a small generator inside the mechanism. The most known companies that make these models are Seiko, Tissot , and Omega and they are called “Kinetic “, “Autoquartz “, and “Omegamatic” respectively. The Solar watches as the name implies are charged with the energy of the Sun . They contain cells located on the watches’ faces that charge the generator of the watch. The “Eco- Drive” is the most well-known model produced by Citizen .

MANUAL WIND WATCHES:

These watches need to be wound once a day or once every two days to run. After the watch is wound then it will keep a power reserve so that It will have charge until next winding. The collectors of timepieces think of these watches as highly desirable. It could be because it can be said that it is the old way of reading time, hence they were the first type of movements. Manual Winding Watches are still being made by the Top Swiss Brands such as Jaeger-Lecoultre and Franck Muller and could cost more than $500,000 when they have complications. A few exquisite models can reserve up to 18 days of power and will usually have a power reserve indicator.

AUTOMATIC WATCHES:

These watches do not need to be wound , thus they are also called self-winding watches. The timepiece winds itself automatically with the movement of the wrist. The movement of the arm makes the rotor, a metal weight attached to a winding mechanism, to rotate back and forth in a circular motion to wind the mainspring, a flat coiled spring that powers mechanical watches.

All these type of movements are good in a way. It really will depend on your taste. For example you may think that replacing the battery of the quartz movement could be annoying , for that reason automatic watches could be a good option. However , it is good to keep in mind that automatic movements need maintenance at least once every two years. In all cases the most important thing is to read the time accurately since time is the most valuable asset in the world.
