Electronic watches use a resonant electronic circuit containing a crystal (usually quartz) which oscillates at a specific frequency. The oscillation is converted to a stream of pulses, which drive a series of binary counters. Because the frequency of the crystal is known, when a specific number of pulses is counted, one second has passed. Another counter counts the seconds to determine when one minute has passed, and so on.
Mechanical watches use an oscillating balance wheel and spring which act together, somewhat like a pendulum. The mass of the wheel and the elasticity of the spring determine the frequency of the movement. The oscillating motion is transferred to gears by way of an escapement mechanism, which allows a wheel to advance by a fixed amount with each oscillation of the balance wheel. A series of gears with the correct ratios of teeth determine the rotation of the second, minute and hour hands.
Electronic movements have few or no moving parts, as they use the piezoelectric effect in a tiny quartz crystal to provide a stable time base for a mostly electronic movement. The crystal forms a quartz oscillator which resonates at a specific and highly stable frequency, and which can be used to accurately pace a timekeeping mechanism. For this reason, electronic watches are often called quartz watches. Most quartz movements are primarily electronic but are geared to drive mechanical hands on the face of the watch in order to provide a traditional analog display of the time, which is still preferred by most consumers.

you simply wind it up and watch the mechanisims work and then watch it do it's job!
Get a watch
The way to work a stop watch is by pushing the red button to start and then pushing it again to stop and that is how you work a stop watch and also the way to test someone on how fast they do something.
Any watch with a glow in the dark or a light up feature will work well in the dark.
A watch winder works by twisting gears that are attached to a tension spring. Once the gear is twisted and the spring is at full tension, the watch will properly work.
There is something wrong with the watch.
yes
It did not work for me
how does it work
Children can now watch movies in free-time,watch videos about there work,teachers can explain and show work on their and also children can research about work.
i watch it on netflix but youtube.com will work also.
