>>58371516
You're right, but still, quartz is better.
>>
>>58371529
I like it, but you should change the glass.

>>58371545
Why is quartz better? The cheapest watches has quartz. It's easy to get accurate watches, but a good mechanical watch is better if it's about as accurate or more accurate because you need some serious work to get it correct.
>>
>>58371529
You should really get the crystal replaced because that is a tight little piece.

/fa/ is for smartwatches and other non-technological nonsense. We care about the technology, skill and microengineering in the watch. Not just some cheaply put together nonsense that looks nice.

>>58371640
it is a better piece of engineering.

Wrong crowd, you want to do snob wankery with other people in your field. /fa/ is just a bunch of teenagers trying to look cool.
>>
>>58371607
>Why is quartz better?
You literally wrote two points yourself:
-cheaper
-requires less work to be accurate
Also it's more resistant to beatings, magnetization, requires only battery change every few years instead of expensive service, if it requires service it can be done for cheap or replaced for cheap, easier complications, movement is smaller.

Can't think of anything more at the moment, but I'm sure there's more.

Depends... Go to your local watch maker and ask. (get saphire glass.. more expensive but won't scratch and so on)

REEEEEEEEEE

This.

What's the point of having a watch if it's not worth more than $1k? You don't look more interesting because you use a $50 Seiko shit.
Stop trying to be a pretentious special snowflake and trying to be different and "classy".

>But anon I use the calculator on my casio watch everyday!!
Sure thing pal. Take agolden star sticker.
>>
>>58371829
yes, "Sapphire glass" is a crystal, not a glass. It is just CALLED "Sapphire glass". It does NOT have the physical properties of glass. "Sapphire glass" is just the name that is given to synthetic sapphire crystals.

ITT: People who don't appreciate that the mechanical wristwatch is one of the most incredibly high precision feats of mechanical engineering ever developed.

Humans managed to invent a purely mechanical device that using nothing but spring power and gears to track the 86,400 seconds in a day to within +/- 10 seconds a day (much less for high quality movements).

This is using nothing but spring, gears, and human ingenuity to track time with 99.99℅ accuracy by using ~500,000 - 700,000 beats of a mechanical gear train per day.

If such a feat of mechanical engineering doesn't impress you then you don't belong on /g/

>>58371173

No,

I wear a watch with a cheap ass electronic time keeping because it's more accurate.

I'm not. I wear one of these on the regular. Got tired of resetting the time on my auto everytime I didn't wear it all weekend, and the quartz is more accurate anyways.
>>
>>58371173
I prefer my quartz over my 5 when it comes down to actual practicality, I had to re-set it regularly because it drifted like shit and I had no time, tools or interest to get it fixed.
