In recent years, electronic watches using crystals have been increasing in popularity. The main attraction is their high precision. The crystal-regulated electronic watch was developed through the use of highly stable crystal units and new IC techniques. We will feature the present status of crystal-regulated electronic watches in two installments.In t h i s i s s u e , the crystal units employed in these watches will be discribed, and in the next issue, watches incorporating such units will be discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
