What are Eco-drive and Automatic Watches?
When it comes to watches, there are a lot of things to consider. You want one that's stylish, but not too flashy. You want one that's comfortable and easy to wear all day long, but not so heavy, That's why comparisons between Eco-drive vs Automatic watches are always made because they literally can give you what you want in a timepiece.
Every watch we make is an homage to the original watchmakers of the past—those who devoted their lives to creating art from timepieces. But we also believe that watches should be made for the future, and that's why we're so excited to talk about Eco-drive and Automatic watches in this article.
Eco-drive vs Automatic Watches
An Eco-drive watch uses light energy as its battery's power source. This means that you don't need any battery changes—the watch will run as long as there's light around it. The built-in battery will also recharge itself when exposed to bright lights, such as sunlight or artificial light from lamps or flashlights.
This type of watch is ideal if you want something that will last longer than traditional watches without requiring much maintenance on your part. It's also great if you plan on wearing your watch often and in different environments if you love traveling because it won't require any special care beyond keeping it clean and polished.
On the other hand, an automatic watch is a mechanical watch that uses a wound spring to provide its power source. As you move your wrist around while wearing an automatic watch, you're actually winding up the spring. The spring then unwinds itself as it loses power, which in turn winds up the mainspring inside the watch again.
However, the downside is that they may require a little more maintenance than other watches, as you need to periodically lubricate the gears and prevent rusting. Plus, it is more expensive. Moving on, let's check on some more Eco-drive vs Automatic watches.
