Collectors and enthusiasts often choose mechanical movements over quartz movements due to their level of quality and craftsmanship. Skillfully created, mechanical movements contain an intricate series of components working together to power the timepiece. They use energy from a wound spring rather than a battery and need to be wound frequently to keep accurate time.
Automatic movements offer the craftsmanship of mechanical watches with added convenience. Powered by the motion of the wearer’s wrist, they wind themselves automatically, eliminating the need for manual winding while maintaining precise timekeeping.
Quartz movements are the most typical movements found in watches. They are very accurate and require minimal maintenance aside from battery replacement. Quartz movements utilize a battery, which sends an electrical current through a small quartz crystal, that keeps the movement oscillating and drive the watch's motor to move the watch hands.
Citizen's Eco-Drive technology is a quartz movement powered by light. The technology has been designed to convert both natural and artificial light into energy to work the watch functions. Eco-Drive watches do not require battery replacement, charging or winding to maintain operation.
The right watch size depends on wrist circumference and personal style. Case diameters between 36-40mm are common for women’s watches, while men’s watches typically range from 40-46mm. If you prefer a bold statement, go for a larger case, while a smaller case offers a more understated look. Need adjustments? Jared's jewelry repair services can resize bands for the perfect fit.
