I've been anti quartz for 15 years, recently bought an eco drive Pro master, been onnmy wrist for last 6 months. Once you get over the snob factor, there's nothing wrong with quartz.

This video was right up my alley as I love Quartz. For me nothing beats the combination of accuracy and practicality.

The "quartz crisis" is a marketing term created by an industry that was slow to adapt. To the brands that thrived, the 70s was the "quartz revolution".

I love quartz. I wear watches for fashion and for confidence. I buy what i like and make me feel good. Quartz is always ticking at close to the correct time. I can easily pick and wear whatever i want for the day without needing to reset the time and date. I just enjoy watches in general. I have a mechanical watch in the mail, but my other watches are quartz.

Never been a fan of both black bezels and dials but that tag looks so nice

I love the B400 so much I ended up getting two of them. I definitely love how Quartz is always ready. I have my list of luxury automatics to buy but my first year I definitely got a few quartz. Including a Longines conquest vhp and Accutron DNA.

Every watch looks gorgeous. Thanks for the good vid

Good review. I hope you do a video on top 10 microbrand solar quartz watches.

My dad got a quartz watch for his wedding, and i got passed it down after he got a daytona from his dad's will, i love it and the quartz is crazy accurate. Amazing video

Very good survey. Many thanks. 🙏

Wow great collection all fun watches.

Awesome guide! Good to see some of my favorites in your best quartz list. I am afraid that series of Citizen is being discontinued (aside from the blue one), if you are interested in that Promaster Marine Diver, I would not wait around. They wear awesome but the bracelet clasp is pressed & not as good as the one on the BN0167-50H with a built in no-tools adjust while wearing diver's extension (AMAZING for anytime fine tuning!)! There is also a new TI version BN0200-56E. The Arnie is great fun, Seiko has a conversation starter there, it has my favorite Seiko dive band (or bracelet) to date (Seiko dive straps and bracelets are often uncomfortable for me)! I have a special place in my heart for Ani/Digis from G-Shocks & Protreks. Anyways great list and inspiration for future!

Excellent and informative list. Only significant watch missing is the Grand Seiko quartz.

I would've expected to see a Grand Seiko or perhaps other high-end quartz watch like the Citizen Chronomaster in the list. Nonetheless, you have some amazing picks in here. One thing I love about your 'normal' watch reviews are the shots of how the pieces wear on your wrist in natural daylight. I would love to see those kind of shots in these video's as well. Keep up the great work!

Came here to say exactly this. GS grows its own quartz crystals, ages them, selects the finest (leaving the rest for Seiko) and matches them with a circuit in their quartz 9f movements, giving them accuracy that, in my experience, is even better than the stated +/-10sec./year.

@@mkyhou1160 And all supercars are crazy fast. It's the law of diminishing returns. Sure a middle-shelf quartz will get you accuracy beyond any mechanical watch, but if you want something even more accurate, or want to be the most accurate, it's going to cost a lot and take exponentially more effort to get that extra 1 percent of performance. To some, that's worth the price of entry. Besides, this video's title is "The 10 *Best* Quartz Watches", not the 10 best value for money or affordable quartz watches. It's also not just about the accuracy, the finishing and durability of the case and movement are second to none in that price bracket.

Dan Henry is bringing out the black “maverick” 1972 version again 👍🏻 even adding an automatic with a different design

Very good list indeed, for some brands like tag heuer its better to buy second hand. Sometimes they are even 50%off. Its good to have a good quartz beater for hardwork.

Have a Bolova Marine Star quartz chronograph. Worn for several years now and love it. Adjust the time about once year, usually under a one minute adjustment.

Casio Oceanus OCW-S100 is the best ! 🤘

+1 on the Arnie - I bought mine this year and its easily my favourite watch. I'd love for Seiko to release a PVD-coated black stainless bracelet as an upgrade options.

Mine is the Citizen Corso Eco-Drive, in stainless steel and gold two-tone (model BM7334-58E). It is elegant looking, reliable, durable, extremely accurate, and easy to read with a quick glance. Probably the best watch I will ever own..

I bought the Tag back in 2017.

Got the Arnie, quartz/solar is great. Cqn leave it for months and it will still be accurate. The battery intervals will be twice as long as a service interval for an automatic, and you dont hage to set the time every time you use it. Liked the Brew as well, might be my next.

You should do a video like this on microbrand quartz pieces.

great array! and I love all of them! especially the Tag F1 and the hamilton psr!!

I love solar watches, your non Japan options are very limited.

11:34 excellent!

My go to watch is the Bulova Lunar Pilot 43.5mm blue and white.

I bought my first quartz this century; tomorrow, I hope to get my Sinn UX S into my little paws. I just want an accurate watch. Automatic is fine, but I can never truly rely on it.

Citizen Promaster ...on my wrist as I type. Love it !

My god the Dan Henry chrono is fantastic! I am very concern about the diameter though. It is 41mm but it looks way bigger (almost big as the Seiko Arnie, at least on your wrist...). I have a very small wrist (6,5) and the biggest watch I can "afford" because of that is the Seiko mini turtle (42mm). Do you think I should go for it or sadly enough should forget about it?

I was expecting the Mondaine to be top of the list. It is a missed opportunity to show case the best looking watch from the west. I agree with most list. It comes to each other’s taste at their given age as affected by culture, peers etc.

As polarizing as modern Tag Heuer is for watch collectors, It is still a highly sought after watch. Get on the grey market for several hundred less and it is a fantastic watch.

What solar watches by microbrands. I would definitely be interested.

Been Looking At A Breitling Endurance Chrono, Anybody have any Feedback about that watch? It’s kinda of Chunky but extremely light, They claim accuracy of + - 10 sec per YEAR, they have multiple colors, I love the orange design. Any feedback would be appreciated. Great Video I was hoping I would see this Model here.

What’s your opinion about the Longines Conquest VPH

cant talk about the best quartz without citizen 0100 and grand seiko 9f

Great video but the Mondaine Stop2Go is missing - it's a unique watch - only watch in the world with this feature

If I bought a quartz watch, it would have to be a very accurate and high quality movement... Perhaps a radio controlled atomic watch or a "space" Bulova shown here 😂

Hamilton is a complete wase of money when you can get a Gshock anyway. It's a great video

I found Quartz watches to be best suited for when your travelling. If you have to catch a plane and than a train, you want your watch to be prdcise and you don’t want to worry it might stopped ticking because you took it off on the weekend.

Mechanical and quartz both have their place.

Some good ones here but you missed 2 real gems by CWC and Marathon both offering true military watches that are purpose built.

Bulova just released the Jetstar which to me is a more interesting model rather than the Lunar Pilot, which is way way too big. With the Jetstar you have a simple 3 hander properly sized at 40mm, and an always sweeping seconds hand.

In fact I dont care for most chronos, especially those that only measure 30 or 60minutes. I never use them and I find a simple bezel of a dive watch to be even better for timing stuff all the way up to 60minutes. But you can obviously disagree. That's the fun with watches.
