Thermo-compensation regulated the motor pulses in accordance to the ambient temperature fluctuations, this allows for much greater accuracy to be achieved.Īs I’ve mentioned before, a high accuracy quartz watch isn’t actually that useful to many people. The vibrations generated from this power the watch, well that’s the basics of it anyway. This allows them to keep a stable rate in spite of temperature fluctuations which would affect the accuracy of a normal quartz watch.Ī normal quartz watch works by passing a current through a tuning fork shaped crystal. To achieve this level of accurate time keeping these watches make use of thermo-compensation technology. That’s how much better these high accuracy versions are.

Notice how earlier on when we were talking about accuracy it was in terms of months for basic quartz watches. To class as a high accuracy quartz watch these timepieces generally have an accuracy of plus or minus 10 seconds per year. Introduction To High Accuracy Quartz Watches
