Electric watch

Okay kiddo, let me tell you all about electric watches!

First, let's talk about clocks. You know how a clock has a little hand and a big hand and they move around to show you what time it is? Well, there are different kinds of clocks. Some clocks have a spring that you wind up to make the hands move. Others have a battery that powers the clock.

An electric watch is a kind of clock that you wear on your wrist like a bracelet. Instead of a spring or a battery, it uses something called an electronic oscillator to keep time.

Now, an electronic oscillator is kind of like a tiny little heart that beats really fast to keep time. It sends electrical pulses through a quartz crystal, which vibrates at a very precise frequency. This frequency is so precise that it can be used to keep time very accurately.

The electric watch uses this precise timing to keep track of seconds, minutes, and hours. The oscillator sends a tiny electrical pulse through a circuit every second, and this pulse moves a series of gears and levers that make the watch hands move.

So that's how an electric watch works! It uses an electronic oscillator and a quartz crystal to keep time very accurately. And because it's powered by electricity, you don't have to wind it up or replace the battery as often as you would with other kinds of watches.
