Nary a one. My four kids all have a quartz watch, but the closest I come are a pair of Accutrons.

Amongst others I own one of these. Superb value for money - titanium, solar powered and radio sync 😁

I still have some of my quartz watches from before I learned of the wonderful world of mechanical watches. Most of them have some special meaning to me and I would never get rid of them although I do not wear most of them anymore.

My first real watch. Purchased in Switzerland when I was about 12 years old.


This was my grandfather’s watch. I’m happy to have it.


This was a high school graduation gift from my grandmother. Very special to me.


Wandered into a Swatch store in Vegas years ago and bought this just because. It ticks so loud I can’t stand it.


This is my go to beater I’ve had for like 12 years and can’t kill it. Wears much smaller than a Gshock.

My quartz watches.

The white dial seiko on the left was my dad’s watch and also happens to be a birth year watch. So that’s a keeper. The Luminox was a childhood dream watch since I grew up next to a Navy Seals Base, and it’s a wonderful beater/chores around the house watch. The Seiko on the right, 7A28-702A, is lovely but I’ll be letting that go soon.

I have 3 decent ones and a couple of junk ones from my brother.
The gold citizen is from the early 80s, can you tell? High school watch, it stopped way back, so I bought a movement on ebay and swapped it myself. I'm quite proud. It needs an unobtainable octagon crystal though.
The black Wenger is a twin to Duracuir1s SwissArmy. I bought it because of the nato in BMW livery.
The Grey Wenger is titanium and very comfortable. A gift from my wife decades ago. I wore it daily for a long time. Too bad the red in the Swiss flag emblem has completely faded away.

My missus has a Tag Heuer 2000, an AT, and 3 Longines Quartz offerings

Surprised that no one has yet posted a classic G-Shock square. This is the G5600UE-1DR. I bought it in June last year as a beater and it's been a terrific watch. Love the fact that it's solar powered, so no need to worry about it dying unexpectedly.

Also, if you're into Casio watches please feel free to share them in this thread:

I like the Dan Henry and Seikos above.

My first Omega was quartz. Now, I only have mechanical watches.

It may just be in my mind, but I get a weird feeling wearing an electronic device.

My 38.5mm Aqua Terra.

I also have a 36mm Conquest VHP,
a Tag Heuer F1 WAC111a and a Rado dress watch.

Last week I changed the battery in my wife's AT but after trying 2 new batteries there was still no joy.
Thinking I'd touched the coil I sent it to a watch fettler and he emailed me to say it needed a new battery
Before sending it off, the watch started running as normal but also in E.O.L. mode.🤔

But that was on Thursday and I haven't heard anything else !?!?!?

At present I have none and no real interest.

I would, however, gladly make an exception for an Accutron Astronaut.

Me too. Probably my most worn watch overall, because I wear it during all outdoor activities.
