Now watch technology is constantly innovating, Seiko, Citizen and other brands fine technology into the watch to create the third generation of watches: optical energy watches! The first time I saw it, I was able to see it. Here let me tell you!
Lightning watches
The light-activated watch converts light energy into electricity through the solar chip, and stores the electricity in the recyclable titanium lithium-ion rechargeable battery, then the electricity from the battery generates pulse signals to the coil through the integrated circuit and generates magnetic force to drive the stepping motor, which converts the electricity into kinetic energy to drive the gears to turn and drive the hands to indicate the time, which can run about 40-180 days in the dark after a full charge. It can run in the dark for about 40-180 days after a full charge and has a rechargeable battery life of 10 years. The more famous brand of light-activated watches is Citizen.
Mechanical watches
Mechanical watchesA common mechanical watch has a movement of 90 to 100 parts, with more versatile movements having 1400 parts. The energy source of a mechanical watch is a coiled spring clockwork, and the energy stored in the clockwork drives the watch mechanism to work for the purpose of timekeeping. Mechanical watches can be divided into two types: manual mechanical watches and automatic mechanical watches:
(1) Manual mechanical watches: hand-wound movement, turning the crown, the spring in the movement releases energy to drive the watch. (2) Automatic mechanical watches: the self-winding movement is powered by the weight of the flying tourbillon inside the movement, which turns when the watch wearer’s arm swings and drives the winder inside the watch to wind the watch. Characteristics of mechanical watches:(1) Mechanical watches take time differently from quartz watches in that the mechanical watch second hand goes continuously and uninterruptedly. (2) Because of the complexity of the mechanical watch movement, the timing error is larger (depending on the brand), the chronometer movement error is smaller, the error of a day within -4/+6 seconds normal. Mechanical watch running error can not be accumulated, the watch needs to be adjusted after a period of time. (3) Fine craftsmanship, easy to use, fully wound can go more than 36 hours. (4) The movement lasts for a long time. (5) The appearance is a bit thicker than quartz watches (depending on the brand), and some brands are also very thin, but they are usually manual mechanical watches. Which is better: a light-activated watch or a mechanical watchAccording to the above comparison, if the user focuses on function for daily wear, the light-activated watch is preferred. If it is some formal occasions, mechanical watches will give people a mature and stable feeling therefore mechanical watches are more suitable in formal occasions! Citizen, luxury goods, Seiko,
