| Post subject: | Quartz Watch Question |
When a watch has a quartz movement, does that mean it uses a battery? If it does, then how long does a battery usually last (in other words, how often does it need to be changed)? Thanks, cRaSiAn1030 |

Hi there, yes quartz indicates battery and if I'm not mistaken, typically lasts for about a year. |

It can last up to 8 years, like in Colt SQ. |

Without getting TOO far into the long scientific answer, it's thermo compensated which means that it adjusts for the fact that the quartz vibrates at different frequencies at different temperatures - hence making it more accurate. |
