Gucci Watches – Quarts Or Mechanical, Does It Even Matter?
It was way back in the 1970s that the quarts watch was first invented and now today virtually 90% of the watches that are currently manufactured, including all Gucci watches are powered by a quarts battery. So just what are the reasons that the ratio of quarts to mechanical watches being made now is so out of balance?
Gucci Watches Powered By Quarts Batteries are More Reliable
The truth of the matter is that there are in fact several advantages that make a quarts watch a more prudent choice over a mechanical watch. To start with, quarts watches tend to be more reliable time keepers. What this means is that the owner of a quarts watch can count on his or her watch to always provide accurate time.

You may not know this but all watches lose or gain a little bit of time each week. While a quarts watch will, in more extreme cases lose about a second or so per week, some mechanical watches can lose up to a minute per week. Thats almost an hour per year! Even so, what this means is that in one months time your mechanical watch can have you arriving four minutes late everywhere you go!
Fewer Moving Parts In Quarts Watches
One more benefit of quarts Gucci watches, is that they have far less moving parts than mechanical watches. Hey! Its just a fact of life that the more moving parts you have in “anything” the more likely it is that it will break down and when it does the more expensive it is to have fixed. So the long and the short of it, is that quarts watches are just more reliable.
Why People Buy Mechanical Gucci Watches Today
So now your asking yourself, with all these things considered, why on earth would anyone buy a mechanical watch today? Hey! Ten percent of Gucci watches sold are after all, mechanical. The fact of the matter is that mechanical watches do have some benefits over quarts watches that can make them a better choice for some watch buyers. For instance, mechanical watches can last for generations and be handed down from father to son and also quarts batteries can be negatively effected by severe cold conditions.
