From a purely practial POV, quartz make a lot of Sense. The mechanism is cheap to make and super accurate. I own a couple that were gifted to me and I enjoy wearing them. With a fresh battery, my Timex expedition works almost certainly outlive me in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
of course, v from a purple practical POV, I can measure time every way imaginable with my phone.
Nothing about my love of watches stems from practically. So, it's pretty much all mechanical for me.
The same principle for so many pursuits. Can the audiophile hear the 5% improvement he paid $5k more for? Can the photographer see the extra, expensive megapixel? If you deduct the virtually imperceptible difference, most high end stuff is a waste of money.
