Accurate to a few seconds a year by way of a quartz crystal oscillating 32,768 times per second. The computer module then translates these oscillations to precise usable increments. Due to the components and labor to produce these watches it was necessarily quite expensive and only the wealthy could afford them.
This is a rare Hamilton QED II led watch from 1977. The QED II was launched in 1975 but this one has an engraving on the back (see photos) which dates it to 1977. Hamilton developed the world
