How accurate a quartz watch is

A quartz crystal oscillates 32,768 times per second; a circuit counts these oscillations and derives the one-second pulse from them. Typical deviations amount to a few seconds per month, whereas a chronometer-certified mechanical movement may deviate by minus four to plus six seconds per day.

When a quartz watch is the better choice

For slim ladies' watches, for watches worn only occasionally and for models with small cases, quartz is usually the more sensible technology. Many chronographs and solar watches also work with a quartz movement. Depending on the movement, the battery lasts two to five years, while solar models require no battery change at all.
