Automatic vs. Quartz: Which Type of Watch is Right for You?
A quick guide to the pros and cons of automatic vs. quartz watch movements.

The two most common types of watches are automatic (mechanical) and quartz (battery-powered). Both have their strengths and appeal to different kinds of watch lovers.
Automatic Watches
- Powered by the motion of your wrist.
- Require regular wear or use of a watch winder.
- Appreciated for craftsmanship and tradition.
Quartz Watches
- Battery-powered and extremely accurate.
- Require minimal maintenance.
- Often lighter and thinner in design.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose an automatic if you love the art of watchmaking and want a piece with heritage. Quartz is ideal for someone who wants a reliable, low-maintenance timepiece.
