commented on watch accuracy ·

I feel if I spend $1k on a watch - then it should be super accurate. I should only worry about winding it and wearing it. I enjoy field watches and have several. But they are all quartz. They are cheap Timex field watches and are very accurate. But as others have pointed out - am I really watching the seconds? And if it's off a few seconds - does that really affect my life? I returned a seiko because the watch would not keep accurate time. So I guess the accuracy is very important to me.

Grand Seiko spring drive.

The engineer will love the idea of taking mechanical energy, using it to create electricity to power a quartz for accuracy. Search YouTube for videos about how the spring drive works.

That is nice... I still have it bad for a Hamilton. I saw a murph but it had brown numbers on a black face. The contrast was not good enough to actually see the numbers.
