Quartz watches are timepieces that use a small battery and a quartz crystal to keep time accurately. The quartz crystal vibrates at a specific frequency when an electric current passes through it, allowing the watch to maintain precise time. This technology makes quartz watches more reliable and less expensive to produce than mechanical watches. These watches are popular for their low maintenance and durability. Unlike traditional mechanical watches, which require regular winding or servicing, quartz watches only need a battery replacement every few years. Their affordability and accuracy have made them a favorite choice for everyday wear.
