Automatic vs Quartz: How to Choose the Perfect Watch for Your Lifestyle
Choosing between automatic and quartz watches depends on your lifestyle. Automatic watches offer mechanical artistry with sweeping seconds hands but require regular wear, while quartz provides precision accuracy with minimal maintenance. Consider your daily needs - quartz excels for active professionals, while automatics appeal to collectors. Both have merits, whether you prioritize craftsmanship or convenience. Discover which movement best suits your rhythm.
Understanding Mechanical Watch Accuracy: What's Acceptable?
Mechanical watch accuracy is measured in seconds per day (SPD) and varies based on movement quality. Standard-grade watches (non-COSC) typically range from -20 to +40 SPD, while COSC-certified chronometers achieve -4 to +6 SPD. High-end in-house calibers may reach -2 to +4 SPD. Factors like position, magnetism, power reserve, and maintenance affect precision. To improve accuracy, keep the watch wound, store it dial-up, demagnetize annually, and service every 5 years. If your watch consistently exceeds +60/-30 SPD, it may need servicing. Modern non-Swiss movements (like those in Wishdoit watches) can offer COSC-level precision affordably.
*"A mechanical watch isn’t about perfection—it’s about character. Even a 10-second variance means your timepiece has a unique heartbeat."
