Quartz watches – battery life has an average of 1-2 years. Watch does not require winding and is very accurate.

Solar-Powered watches – watches with panels that capture light andconvert it to electricity to power the quartz movement.

Kinetic/Autoquartz watch – the weighted rotor, activated by the movement of your arm, turns a mini-generator to generate electricity, which is stored in the watch battery.

Mechanical watches – require daily winding. Experience has shown that this becomes second nature, usually wound in the morning as you start your day.

Automatic watches – also known as self-winding, have a rotor which is activated by movement of your arm winding the main spring. Can also be hand-wound. For those who wish to keep the watch running when not being worn, you can purchase a winding box.
