From the start of my watch journey over 10 years ago to now, quartz watches have always fascinated me because of how they work and the undeniable impact they have had in the horological world. So over the years my collection has always included quartz watches from the likes of Seiko, Grand Seiko, Citizen, and Casio. However, quartz watches are often overlooked by many watch enthusiasts, and at worst, some watch enthusiasts look down on those who enjoy quartz watches. This has always perplexed me.
So in this video I’m going to talk about 4 reasons why quartz is better than mechanical because a lot of folks out there go beyond personal preferences and just completely dismiss quartz watches by saying things like they have no soul so I’m also going to explain why that notion is idiotic. Prepare for some fireworks in the comments section.
