Best Answer

It depends on whether the digital watch has a digital display (LCD) or a standard mechanical display (a clock-face). The latter is probably simpler to understand as it is primarily an analog computer driven by a digital counter. A quartz crystal vibrates at a consistent 32,768 cycles per second thus a 15-bit digital counter increments with each cycle. Each time the counter overflows it returns to zero, which triggers a step-motor to advance the second hand by one second which, in turn, drives a standard clockwork mechanism advancing the other hands accordingly. The tumblers denoting the day are linked to the clockwork mechanism, although sometimes these are presented in a digital LCD form.

An LCD watch has no moving parts besides the vibrating crystal, thus is entirely digital, with several digital counters to denote the passage of time from a preset base time (the time you set). Simple logic gates present the actual time upon the LCD display in numerical form or in a more graphical analog clockwork form.
