Quartz is a piezoelectric material. This means that it vibrates when current is passed through it. It also means that when it is vibrated or put under pressure, it generates current. When current is passed through a quartz element, it vibrates, which in turn puts some current back into the circuit. This creates a feedback look that creates a waveform in the electrical signal; this wave can then be used as a clock by using electronic components to measure the number of wave cycles that have passed. This means that quartz is an integral part of any timing circuit, and timing is important for watches, computers, and anything that requires coordination between different parts.
yes, quartz is used in watches and the quartz watches are known as best watches in the world
Depends on the type of movement. Mechanical watches uses a wound-up spring to provide the power that drives the gears and escapement. Quartz watches typically rely on a battery, which powers a small electronic circuit which involves a quartz crystal to keep time.
Quartz watches actually use quartz crystals to keep time. Quartz is related to the time keeping mechanism. Quartz watches can also have digital display.The word 'digital' refers only to the display and not mechanism type.
A quartz chronometer will employ an electronic oscillator that enables the timepiece to record the passage of time - see related link below for additional information .
Yes all quartz watches need a battery to work.
Piezo-electric Effect
Yes, many quartz watches have real moving hands for second, minute and hour.

Quartz is used in timepieces such as watches or clocks.
This refers to a Quartz Movement which means the watch is battery powered
Sonata is a particular brand of the Titan company. Quartz describes a type of movement used in the watch design. Titan does use quartz technology in their watches.
