·My first decent watch, purchased new while in a layover on Singapore back in 1992. For years, I kicked myself for getting a quartz watch and not an automatic, but I quite like it now.
From: Time and Tide
Myth 7: Mechanical is better than quartz
Does your mistrust of quartz make any sense?
The reason why I prefer manual and automatic watches over quartz is …
Um …
I don’t know.
No matter how many times I think about this, I cannot come up with a single, genuinely good answer. Do I believe a mass-produced ETA movement has more romance than a Casio? No. And yet I, too, somehow give it more value. So … (insert awkward pause here) … if there were a moral to this column - and by now I suspect we all know there isn’t - it would be that people who are opinionated about watches do not always make sense. And by not always, I mean hardly ever.

It is, for me, having something in my daily life which is not in any way electronic. I’ve been working in IT my entire adult life, and was getting paid for IT work in the 80’s while still in HS. I needed something that wasn’t electronic, and fell in love with mechanical watches.

·I don’t mistrust quartz watches at all. They’re objectively better suited to the task.
