It's like a shittier version of that but enough to make a watch run. Umm... you're way off the mark (no surprises there). Quartz acts solely as an oscillator when a direct electrical current from a battery is applied to it in order to create a signal that drives a stepper motor that makes the watch tick. --- Hmm... <cite>Paragon21XX posted [p:959328634] in Do you pre...

Wii_Shaker 10/23/21 10:13:05 PM #10:	I collect Casios, which I believe are automatic. I dig the geek-chic aesthetic of them and like that they are tough and can be worn in most situations. I own at least 5 or six of them, including a calculator watch. Although I don't care for jewelery and find most watches to be gaudy,tacky and over-priced. --- "He busted in, blessed be the Lord Who believe any mess they read up on a message board" -MF DOOM 1970-2020 (G.O.A.T.) <cite>Wii_Shaker posted [p:959328736] in Do you pre...

And the higher end time pieces are usually automatic. yeah but you have to admit , quartz is better than automatic in telling the time. Easily better, i mean a child's quartz wristwatch is better at telling the time usually than a rolex. And, you only have to change the battery like every 3 yrs. Which you have to admit is not that often. --- "Sometimes they even attack wounded foxes" <cite>UT1999 posted [p:959350491] in Do you pre...
