Automatic or quartz

[balzebub71]

I love quartz accuracy and fuss free pick up and go. But to drop hundreds or even thousands on a quartz can be heart pain, especially if u flip your watches. Buyers will always say it's just a quartz, make it sound like a bad thing then push your asking price down, doesn't matter if it's a high accuracy quartz or solar etc. Hence I think quartz i will buy low-cost ones only..less than $300, unless I am sure I will keep it.

Accuracy is important to me so I only buy quartz. I really like the new Dracula Monster but I don't know if I can live with the few minutes per month deviation. So far all the new watches I bought have been solar quartz.

Good to hear abro who knows what he is looking for ! Happy hunting.

Only thing about quartz is the lack of a continuous second hand sweep. That one is beautiful

Thanks! There are enough types of watches to suit everyone of us. High tech or old school, they are all a thing of beauty!

You can check thread on spring drive sweep hands. It was mentioned that there are quartz watches with continuous sweep. The Buluva for one I think.

2380USD from higuchi shipped, so around 3k when converted with GST included.

Was at wins today looking at poison lol. The prospex automatics were nice but the sweep is not as smooth.

Uncle was trying to recommend me Citizen Men's BJ2119-06E Eco-Drive Promaster Depth Meter Watch over the seiko prospex but it is quartz movement. But feels nice and heavy lol.

Wow thats quite a bit for a quartz movement, GS notwithstanding.

I would probably go for the spring drive tuna at around 4.5k....poison poison..

Well whatever floats your boat man..happy hunting..

Mechanical/automatic for me. I don't really mind the lack of accuracy compared to a quartz watch. The second hand sweep of a mechanical watch is just mesmerising.

Correct me if I'm wrong. All quartz with ticking second hands won't hit all the minute markers exactly right?

GS quartz second hand hits the mark ALL the time. It is true, I have seen it. Also read:

Vote for Automatic. it has a unique feeling when wearing as compared to a quartz. and if well maintained, can be a lifelong friend on the wrist
