    Comparing mechanical watches to quartz is like comparing steam locomotives to diesel or electric. Sure, there's more romance in steam, but the new technology is waaaay more performant, reliable and efficient. Also, we taught a rock to keep time. How cool is that?

    "We taught a rock to keep time." That's a beautifully poetic way to describe quartz, although I'd prefer to describe it as a rock that already knew how to keep time, but man simply discovered its ability; something formed in the cosmos juxtaposed with a human construct.

    Michael In years past I really wanted to believe that mechanicals were better. I really did! I now have a good friend who is a watchmaker/repair/service man and a flight instructor. He says that even a Rolex needs to be gone over about every 15 years. Don’t know what your experience is, but The aforementioned gentleman has worked on a few thousand time pieces. I do enjoy a good mechanical piece but cannot stack it up against quartz accuracy with occasional battery changes. Having said that, I’m curious to know what you wear because I am a watch nerd! Thanks for your time.

    @MotoPaisano all quartz watches use 1.5v silver oxide as the norm. There are a few exceptions from earlier days and some modern era watches use lithium. However, if you put a meter across a new silver oxide 1.5v watch battery of which there are many variations in shape and size you will usually get a reading of 1.55 to 1.6v. The cost involved is not that great for the physical battery. There are many high street retailers who will look at the make of watch and put a premium on the cost. As an experiment I went into one retailer and asked how much to change my battery in my Omega seamaster quartz, £95. I have since been told this retailer now uses the 10% rule. So if your quartz watch is £1800 then expect £180 for a battery change. I am also aware they buy batteries in such bulk that they are making ridiculous profit on battery replacement.

    @MotoPaisano well done. You can see with the right tools changing a battery does not warrant the ridiculous cost charged by some. Mechanical watches are different, fully stripping and cleaning then assembly requires time and skill. Also you have to build in protection cost in the service fee. If something breaks in your hands during a service a big bill for a Swiss part is guaranteed.

    A lot of the electrics that predate quartz are extremely interesting, I have a modest collection of timex electrics one being the exact model worn by Dexter on his eponymous series my favorites are the Dynabeat models that are every bit a smooth sweeping as the majority of mechanicals today. Hamilton also has quite a few electrics which I plan to start collecting, it’s amazing when you are holding one and think about how far that technology predates quartz. Seiko’s “twin quartz” movements are quite interesting as well, and I can’t believe you didn’t mention spring drive.

Sadly, these limited edition Eco-Drive watches cost $16,800 or $7,400, based on case material.

    I applaud your review of some high end quartz watches here. I am really happy to see proper quartz watches receiving due attention on this very good KZread channel. I own a Rolex Oysterquartz as well as the Omega X1 (gen2) and have enjoyed wearing them very much. Although the Breitling Emergency has never appealed to me, I do own the legendary Breitling B-1 superquartz. These are great watches with really very accurate movements, the B-1 boasting the most accurate caliber (A78362) which loses about 12 seconds a year. But I was a bit disappointing that you didn't mention any of the (much better) high end Japanese quartz watches. But here I suspect there is very strong bias towards the Swiss brands in this channel, consigning Japanese watches to the cheap and cheerful bin. So here I shall break a lance for them, for I am convinced that none of these quartz watches mentioned in this video can hold a candle to the Citizen The Citizen Chronomaster CTQ57-0961. Even though the fit and finish of this watch is on par with any Swiss counterpart, and it may not have the bells and whistles of the Breitling and Omega (and let me state that bells and whistles a quartz watch does not define), it is the caliber that makes this watch truly amazing. Although Citizen guarantees 5 seconds of loss a year, I discovered after wearing one for a year and a half without interruption, that it lost only 2,5 seconds. And all this is accompanied by stellar build quality, durability and service (10 years of free service including battery replacements). This is one of my favorite watches to date, wearing very comfortably and literally never missing a beat. Although Grand Seiko quartz watches are also a very, very good HEQ (and perhaps even nicer to look at), it just isn't as good as this wonderful Citizen.... But more about Grand Seiko in another comment.

    1989 I chose Quartz over Mechanical in an Omega Seamaster. It had the thermocompensated movement (1441) but it was switched out surreptitiously at the Lancaster, PA Omega tech shop for the single coil . . . which I discovered much later during a battery change. I chose Quartz because I am tough on watches and broke a mechanical once. The basic cal. 1438 gains about 1 sec/week . . . not bad. So, I am about 30 seconds off every Daylight Savings change. I keep spare gaskets which lowers the battery change from $150 to $35!

    I really like Citizen Atomic Time Eco drive as an option. If you live in the US, your watch will always be on time, and they are maybe even better than a perpetual as long as they can access the clock signal. I did have a problem with the band on mine, but found a watch repair place that was able to fix it, and now it's solid. Love the design of mine ( mine is a rose gold band with a brown face.) That being said, a Breitling rescue watch seems cool.

    I am enjoying watchfinder videos - they are great. In this case I am truely missing the GS 9F calibre. It is THE quarzt movement. Lever-mechanism driven second hand for ultimate matching of the second marks. Finally a jumping second for ocd fellas. And theres the manufacture recommended service period of 50 (fifty) years for the movement as a result of the movement beeing sealed from the battery cage. 10 seconds a year rated. Translated from japanese this means a true life performance of 2-3 secs a year. All inhouse - even the quartz crystals. Wrapped in an astonishingly Zaratsu finished case it is a true pleasure to wear.

    Mechanical is about people's emotions, and these emotions have largely been shaped by marketing. Quartz is simply better all around, and it can be beautiful, too. Movements like the Seiko 9F, the Citizen 0100, and even vintage movements like the Omega 1332 are beautiful bits of finely finished technology that just make me feel so good. I have mechanical watches in my collection, too, but to me, quartz has always been cooler. Especially when you start to include complications like thermo compensation. It's like comparing a horse and cart to a cutting-edge, self driven automobile. There's no comparison for me, quartz over mechanical.
