It’s funny how my watch journey started at Quartz and ended up at Quartz once again. I ONLY wear Quartz these days. From lower end g shock to higher-end Grand Seikos, I’ll take practicality and accuracy over service costs that cost as much as the watch itself. Also, Grand Seiko High Accuracy Quartz (5 to 10 seconds a YEAR) are advanced movements with hand craftsmanship, incomparable to mall watch Quartz. There’s more of a reason to romanticize there than in mass-produced Seiko automatic movements that are also used by 3rd parties.

When I got married 12 years ago, I wore my father's watch, (he had passed away unexpectedly nearly 20 years prior). For me, it not only honored him, but allowed for him to be present with me on my special day. I still wear it often as a reminder of his dedication to family, and for me to strive to be as great a man as he was!

Teddy's points on mechanical vs quartz are all great points. But for me, there's one more key point he missed: The smoother sweep of the second hand on a mechanical watch is more aesthetically pleasing than the second-jump on quartz. (And the even more smooth movement of the second hand on spring drive is the thing I love most about that movement.)

But my watch background really comes from my uncle, who was probably the greatest watchmaker in Lebanon. As a young kid, I used to sit beside him and enjoy watching him do a full service on those tiny gold ladies' Omegas, a think very few watchmakers could bother to even try doing. ..

I like the mechanical aspect of automatic watches, at the same time, I like the accuracy of quartz watches especially Citizens. Smart watches are amazing too.

I think you are right that a lot of watch collectors look at the technology through rose colored glasses. The thought is, mechanicals are heirloom quality stuff that we can pass onto our grandchildren, just as you, and I still own our grandfathers' vintage Wittnauers. Needless to say, the fact that a working man's watch from 50, 60, even 75 years ago is still capable of keeping reasonable time so many years later is remarkable. But realistically, how many mechanical watches on the market today, including well into the upper mid range are actually hand built? The truth is, most mechanicals these days are made in factories with little or no hand finishing. And, especially at the lower end of the market, how many will be worth servicing or repairing 10 or 20 years from now when they start to fail? And based on the track record of older quartz, it is likely the better quality quartz movements will still be running 15 or 20 years from now. So the equation of how long you will get to enjoy the watch without major service seems to balance out. As for the preference for a smooth sweeping seconds hand over a once per second quartz, I think that is just something we just tell ourselves. It used to matter to me, but doesn't really anymore.

After owning a bunch of automatics and moving to HAQ I don't think I could go back to autos again. Not even for a Rolex. It's just a pain having to check after waking how far my watch has strayed. Perhaps I'd try GS spring drive, but even then you could argue it's a convoluted way of using mechanical to achieve near-quartz accuracy.

When it comes to quartz, I like the accuracy and depending on the brand depends if I will buy it i.e Omega, JLC, Grand Seiko. I do appreciate the mechanical aspect of watches too and the art of it. To me it’s about build quality and dial when it comes to purchasing. If there were two options for the same watch in Quartz and mechanical by a brand like Omega, I’d go Quartz for low service costs and I can wear the watch for all scenarios and just enjoy it without fear of being damaged. But that’s just me.

Well, I guess it depends on what car dealership you walked into, doesn't it? You'd roll your eyes at a Kia or Honda dealership, but there was a time when cars like the PT Cruiser or the Tesla 3, certain Mustangs, were in such heavy demand that someone would've taken the dealer up on that offer. I don't know why we're all supposed to fault Rolex for making a product that people are willing to overpay for, when it's the buying public that creates this condition.

I think watch winders are a great tool as long as you buy a good quality unit that support multiple TPD's (650 and up to cover most mechanical movements), selectable CW, CCW, or both direction turns, intermittent winding, and have a 12 hour rest period. Basically these features simulate how a person would wear the watch. The best units use mabuchi motors which are very quiet.

Would you have any recommendations on which models to buy?

@@davidprescott9586 I am using the "Vancouver Watch Winder for 2" from a company called "Cuffed". It is a Chinese model sold here in Australia. It has all the features I have listed above. There are other variants from the same source but there maybe different offerings in your country.

I love Cleveland too. We have Lake Erie, which is a huge fresh water sea. I am lucky to build my house right on the water.

Great vid Teddy. About overwinding, I think it should be said for a watch that houses the Sellita SW200-1 they still have an issue with shearing the ratchet wheel when hand winding the movement. I have 2 watches less than 2yrs old that both have ratchet wheels in need of replacing due to the teeth breaking off. I am not an over winder either, so going from sw200 to sw200-1 has not alleviated the problem.

Ugh. My Steinhart Adventure has an SW200-1 that runs great (-2s/day), but that basically won't hand wind past a couple of turns from a dead stop. Steinhart actually looked at it for me under warranty, but said that there is nothing wrong with it. I'm just going to keep wearing it and let it wind via the rotor. Annoying, but I'm just going to accept the limitations of my $450 watch. I really like the watch, but the honeymoon is over, that's for sure.

A lot of people rely on quartz watches because of the precision and reliability. Not to mention it takes 2 years of more for the battery to die out and costs about $8. The brand I have is a Wenger, probably a sister company of Victorinox which make swiss army knives. Very good quality and water resistant too. What I have cost me about $200 and is now about 8 years, batteries changed twice during that time. I can sleep knowing the time is exact minus or plus a few seconds.

Quartz has the major advantage of actually being accurate, and working continuously for years. I have one Seiko automatic, but I don't wear it when I'm at work... Meaning it's always dead when I come back home.

I have a quartz for practical considerations and an automatic for pleasure. I think there's a place for both.

Omega vs Tudor is not even a comparison. Omega's finishing and product line up beats Tudor, while also at a higher price point. Tudor's line up is boring as hell and will always be in the shadow of Rolex (justified or not, that's another discussion)
