now i understand why the oscillations produced by the crystal need to be converted into a square wave,is it beacuse it uses a digital circuitary i.e 15 stage divide by 2 n/w . this means that we are making use of electronic circiut inside a watch so cant we produce the same resonant frequency of a crystal (32768 HZ) using a CMOS TIMER IC within a watch.
my question is then for what purpose is the crystal used ?
