Quartz requires zero maintenance (except for the battery replacement) and tells the most accurate time. My Casio F91W will probably outlive me and still be running.

You forgot the spring drive, the eco-drive or solar movement and the atomic movement. Also there is technically the pendulum but lets count that as mechanical.

Eco-Drives are classified as Quartz movements, which takes artificial lighting and natural lighting and stores it in a power cell, much like a battery. Atomic movements are either quartz or electrical.

Same for me, accuracy for your value. Like I love my Seiko 5’s craftsmanship, but I can’t rely on it when its 10seconds off per day.

I’m new to the whole watch hobby, but the hate for quartz watches, moreso if said quartz watch is over a few hundred dollars, among some watch enthusiasts still surprises me. It’s a superior technology compared to the more traditional automatic but they act like they’re getting scammed.

paying big cash for cheap tech is crazy. i appreciate an affordable quartz tho.

I really love the tuning fork movements!:)

Photovoltaic cells under the dial plus a sturdy low-voltage capacitor eliminate the need for a button cell. Also, in a big watch, a conventional quartz movement combined with a big lithium cell like a 2032 can let the watch run for five years or longer. Those things store a lot of power.

Casio watches are the best

I really like mechanical watches, it's the interaction with the watch I like. Automatic s are cool too. 👍

Actually mechanicals seem to be more expensive in my opinion, there are alot more cheap automatics (seiko miyota) but mechanicals seem to be generally rarer and more expensive in the lower price range.

The 10:10 thing is interesting. Brands often use it in ads/shops/etc. as supposedly the symmetry looks better, and a bit like a smiley face (not sure about that one, ha) and more likely to buy. For Rolex, the myth is that if you see a watch in a Rolex store specifically set at 10:10, it might not have a movement. I've been in a Rolex store recently and plenty of the watches were running, so maybe they only do it with their rarer pieces? Not sure.

I wish you didn’t introduce manual-wind/hand-winding mechanical watches just “mechanical”. I’ve noticed a lot of watch people do this and I think it makes things very confusing newcomers, especially since we don’t talk about the movements this way. Most uploaded comment here is a good example of how misusing “mechanical” makes things ambiguous. Do they mean that all mechanical watches are more expensive or sur manual-wind ones? It was difficult for me, a watch person, to tell Similarly, I’ve noticed the problem of watch people overusing the term “automatic” almost synonymously with “mechanical watch”, ex. “Quartz and automatic”.

If you have even a slightly decent sized collection just go for the hand wind watches. The cases are smaller, the watches are lighter and the movements look better. Your auto is going to be dead anyway if you have a decent collection.

@@ChronometerCheck thank you. Its just quartz solar you are correct

Smart watch is now most popular.

This is all wrong. Conflates how energy is stored and how time is kept. You have batteries (be they replaceable or solar recharged), springs (be they manually or automatically wound), and capacitor (see Accutron 2020 spaceview). Then you have quartz movements (digital or automatic) and escapements. Then you have things like Seiko's Spring Drive, which stores energy in a spring, but the time keeping comes from a quartz movement.

Quartz watches are also mechanical even though not classified as such but they do have a setting function and drive train as well but are only powered by a battery and quartz. No mainspring …

The classification system refers to how the movement receives power. Since a battery has no moving parts, a quartz watch would not be said to be mechanical.
