Quartz or mechanical watches with straps - both categories have their own pros and cons. It is difficult to make a choice based only on technical characteristics and design features; rather, the main selection criterion will be the individual preferences of a person.

"QUARTZ MOVEMENT" IN HOURS 
The quartz watch mechanism was invented about half a century ago. Of course, quartz will not be able to oust mechanics from watchmaking, but it has already reliably occupied its niche among manufacturers and users. In some ways they are inferior to mechanical accessories, but they also have advantages.

The function of the oscillating system in a quartz watch is performed by a quartz crystal. It is he who ensures the accuracy of the chronometer. In addition to this item, the package includes:

power source - a battery, less often - a kinetic rotor, solar recharging cells;
oscillator with a quartz resonator;
stepper motor;
gear system;
clutch for transferring arrows.
If the product is equipped with an alarm clock, a wheel and one more arrow are mounted in the mechanism.

Under the influence of impulses, quartz contracts and expands, thereby activating the clockwork. The battery is responsible for the power supply, so there is no need to start the product every day, which is quite convenient. 

There are accessories with dial and digital indication, they are offered with a different set of functions and in a wide price segment.
Quartz watches are accurate and do not require constant intervention (winding). Despite the fact that they have been released not so long ago, they managed to gain popularity due to their advantages:

they are an order of magnitude cheaper, while not inferior in quality of materials and options;
they do not require special maintenance: it is enough to change the battery once a year;
there is no more accurate clock: the time error per year is from 20 to 5 seconds.
All products are presented in a wide price segment and in different styles. When choosing a product, you should pay attention to the design, shape, color, dial and strap.

HOW LONG WILL "QUARTZ" LAST?
The opinion that quartz watches are less durable is erroneous. The resource of their mechanism is the same as that of mechanical ones. To extend the life of the product, it is necessary to timely carry out preventive examinations, minor repairs, and replacement of worn-out components. Of course, it is worth resorting to the services of professional watchmakers, not to repair yourself. 

To keep your watch presentable for longer, do not neglect the basic rules of care, use the right products (solutions, fabrics).

INSTEAD OF A CONCLUSION
To buy a quartz or mechanical watch - it is better in such cases to listen to the opinion of experienced consultants. In specialized stores, you will certainly be helped to make a choice, taking into account your needs and wishes. But the last word should remain with you: the watch should not only emphasize your status or style, but also be as comfortable to wear and use as possible
