Depends on the type of movement. Mechanical watches uses a wound-up spring to provide the power that drives the gears and escapement. Quartz watches typically rely on a battery, which powers a small electronic circuit which involves a quartz crystal to keep time.

What is analog movement as apposed to quartz movement?
Analog movements can be either quartz or mechanical, but all digital watches have quartz movements. With respect to watches, an analog movement can be quartz or mainspring. Analog refers principally to how the time is displayed - by the use of hands. All digital watches have quartz movements, meaning the time is kept by the counting of pulses generated by a quartz crystal at a precise frequency, and displaying the time as digits. Analog watches are mostly digital these days also, using a quartz crystal to generate pulses, counting those pulses digitally with bit counters, then electrically triggering the mechanical movement each second (or equal portion thereof). Mainspring watches are all analog. They use a mechanical clock movement driven by a mainspring to move the hands. Accuracy is determined by the period of a hairspring flywheel spinning back and forth, allowing the movement to progress a fraction of a second with each half cycle. Automatic movements use an unbalanced flywheel to wind the mainspring automatically as the watch is worn and moved on the wearer's arm.
What are the limitations of a stop watch?
Chronographs/stopwatches are only made to time a certain limit. For digital watches, it can be up to as many digits as the digital watch can display, or limited by the manufacturer. For analog watches, it's only as far as the complexity of the mechanism. Some examples of analog watch chronograph limits can be 30 minutes, 1 hour, 12 hours, or even 24 hours.

What is the meaning of watch hand?
A watch hand is a component of an analog watch that moves to indicate the passage of time. It typically comes in different shapes (such as hour, minute, and second hands) and is powered by the watch movement. The position of the hands relative to the hour markers on the watch face helps indicate the current time.
What are the Conclusion of analog and digital multimeter?
The only different is one has a needle, the other digital numbers-same as with analog and digital watches.
what's the difference between analog and digital watches?
Analog is a clock with the moving hands on it, while digital is computer generated numbers.
What are the most basic analog devices?
Analog devices are everywhere. Clocks and watches were all analog until the coming of the digital age. Some early computers were analog, worked by manipulating voltages rather than binary digits. Broadly, devices are either analog or digital.
What did they use before digital watches?
They used analog clocks. You still see them in many classrooms.
Do atomic watches work in puerto rico?
Yes, atomic watches do work in Puerto Rico. Atomic watches are also commonly called radio controlled watches and will work practically anywhere.
How can you get an analog phone to work now that no companies provide the analog service?
There is no way to get an analog phone to work on the new digital systems. They simply are not compatible.
What is the typical design for college watches?
Most college watches display the the initials or logo of the college team on the face of the watch. The designs vary depending on the teams and the watch can be either digital or analog.
