Divided into manual mechanical watches on the chain and automatic chain two, either manually or automatically, are relying clockwork movement within powered, driven gear and then push hands, just different ways power source. Hand winding mechanical watch is to rely on hand-powered, than the average thickness of the movement self-winding watches to be thinner. The self-winding watches, automatic movement of the rotating disk utilization swing generates power to drive the winding, but relatively speaking, than the thickness of the watch hand-wound watches larger. Like Earl, CYS is there are many watches with manual winding movement.

Mechanical advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages: via regular maintenance wash oil can be used for a long period of time.
Disadvantages: quartz watch than the big error, and errors due to mass production of high and low tables and internal movement susceptible to gravity effects. Error is usually a mechanical watch is the difference between the number of seconds per day calculation, and the error is based on monthly quartz watch calculates the difference between the number of seconds.

Maintenance of mechanical watches and quartz watches and precautions:
1. Non-professionals do not open the back cover to prevent dust ran movement cause damage to the movement.
2. In between ten o’clock at night until two o’clock disabled tune.
3. The strap length adjustment: small adjustments movable pintle position, need substantial adjustment strap with removable tablets.
4. Watch Mongolia being excluded from a lot of road lines later, you can cast the first drops in Table 12 drops of water, then squeeze a little toothpaste obliterated, removed leaving the designated pattern table Mongolia as new.
5. The high-grade watches every two years or so should do the appropriate maintenance, replacement of waterproof components, performance and movement detection of power walking, movement, cleaning and maintenance, and clean appearance, the best place to put the watch can place desiccant but avoid using moth balls, insect chemical agent. Watches have a strong magnetic field in the environment, should not be subjected to strong impact or shock, the watch should not wear any (sauna, shower) while swimming under wet conditions or in humid environment can not pull out the crown of needles.
6. After the needle to push the crown to prevent exposure to chemicals watch rust, especially gold-plated watch (sweat and more people should pay attention to), use the watch in time to find fault specialty repairs. Usually should be more prepared to watch several different alternate use, in addition to a wealth of personal style, but also to avoid dust, dirt confined body on the same watches.
