Kawamura, the representative of Shobido, owns almost every quartz watch.

I change watches depending on my mood, so I often choose quartz watches because there are a wide variety of reasonably priced watches and there are many fashion watches available.

I travel a lot for work and I'm not a morning person, so it's very inconvenient when I put the watch down and put it on right away and the time isn't correct...that's another reason.

The watches listed on this page are special offers on quartz watches. Please take a look.

Quartz refers to a watch that is powered by a battery .

It uses a quartz crystal that vibrates at a frequency of tens of thousands of times per second.

In 1969, Seiko released the world's first quartz (crystal) wristwatch, the "Seiko Astron." Today, quartz watches are commonplace around the world.

What makes a quartz watch convenient?

First of all , it won't stop even if you leave it on, as long as the battery doesn't run out.

I wear it today, don't wear it for two days, then wear it again three days later... and even after repeating this process, it continues to keep time without stopping.

It's really convenient to have a quartz watch.

What I find inconvenient about quartz watches

Of course, the battery will wear out, and when it runs out, the watch will stop working unless you replace the battery.

We often receive questions such as, "It's a hassle to go to a watch shop, so I'd like to change the battery myself." However, we recommend that you do not change the battery yourself, but have it changed at a watch shop.
