arniesack 5 Posted March 26, 2015 Can anyone tell me how smooth the sweep of such a movement would be. I have always avoided quartz movements because of their tendency to 'step' instead of 'sweep', but I am being hasty in my judgement? Any experts or opinions?

Daywatch 4 Posted March 26, 2015 Hi, they sweep with 5 to 6 steps per second, same as a 21j movement. It´s a sweep, not the dreaded tick. Price&reliabilitywise they are good options for chronos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arniesack 5 Posted March 27, 2015 Thanks for that Daywatch, it looks like I need to expand my horizons a little. Over to the TDs or M2M to see what's in store Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
