[QUOTE="rockchalk06, post: 4040851, member: 40794"] For me, it's the complexity and all the moving parts. Watch one of [USER=24867]@thor447[/USER] videos, and you'll see the time and care that goes into them. Thats like crack for my brain. Yes, quartz watches will keep better time, but if you're talking 10-20 seconds a day, it's not the end of the world. Newer tech in automatic watches has power reserves around 80 hours! Take it off on Friday and it's still ticking Monday morning. I wear a watch no matter what I'm doing. I have G-Shocks for range work and anything guaranteed to beat the hell out of a watch. Resetting an auto or mechanical watch, really isn't a burden to me. If I know I'm going to dressed up and leaving early AM, I'll set it, throw it on the winder overnight and it's ready to go. Some quartz watches like my Lunar Pilot have an accuracy of 10-15 seconds per year and any multiband 6 or atomic watch, will be more accurate than that if it's allowed to sync at night. Get a good quality bracelet and you shouldn't have to worry about them failing. I've never had one fail on 250 to 5000 dollar watches and I can be hard as hell on a watch. [/QUOTE]
