Quartz watches

12 references

A quartz watch keeps time with a tiny quartz crystal that vibrates at a fixed frequency, usually 32,768 times a second, when a battery drives current through it. A circuit counts those vibrations and steps the hands or updates a display.

Standard quartz is commonly rated to within about 15 seconds a month, where a typical mechanical movement drifts by several seconds a day. Beyond battery changes, quartz watches need little routine servicing.

Below is every reference in our catalogue whose movement type is sourced as quartz.

How we picked

Included: references whose movement type carries a recorded source and reads "quartz". Solar, Spring Drive and kinetic movements are separate types and are not included here.

Watchfari holds no prices, reviews or test results, so nothing here is ranked by quality or value. Many values come from a hand-curated seed that has not yet been checked against a primary source; each reference page shows where every value came from.
