Did you know? Quartz wristwatch is 0.001 W.

A quartz watch runs on about 1 microwatt (0.000001 W). A battery can last 2-5 years at this rate.

How to Convert Watt to Milliwatt

1 watt = 1000 milliwatts

Milliwatt = Watt × 1000

Example: 0.001 W × 1000 = 1 mW

Reverse Conversion

To convert milliwatts back to watts:

  • Remember, 1 milliwatt equals 0.001 watts.
  • To convert 1 mW to W, multiply 1 x 0.001, resulting in 0.001 W.
About these units

Watt: SI base unit of power equal to one joule per second.

Milliwatt: SI multiple equal to one thousandth of a watt.

Frequently Asked Questions
