cariter is not even a real watch brand, they make fashion belts and crap.

People that buy Cartier watches are literally just buying it for the brand.

Looks so good, but too bad they make this watch in quartz :(

Cartier is a trash fashion brand.

People that buy cartier don't know anything about watches, but just want that brand recognition.

At the end of the day, quartz watch movement is perceived as cheaper than a high end watch.

I am a watch snob and when I see a nice looking watch that ticks, that does it for me.  To me it's just a "nice looking watch", but you can buy a nice looking watch from invicta if you just care about looks.

The luxury watch market doesn't like quartz and will be nearly impossible to sell one for lets say 10K.

Who here will pay 10k for a quartz movement?

I think they should make high quartz movement, but to put it in their higher end models with a quartz movement hurts them.

I really like the GS GMT, but knowing I could save a ton of money just buying the quartz movement really deters me from it.

It doesn't sell as much as it should.  GS has a long ways to go before it really shines in the luxury watch market.  

Omega stopped putting in quartz movement in their flagship watches for a reason.

Maybe GS will eventually figure it out.

Rolex probably the strongest brand in watches does not make a single quartz movement.

Omega the 2nd most known brand is limited on quartz movement.

As a watch snob, when I see a nice looking watch and notice it is ticking (quartz movement) I automatically think less of the watch.  It's simple.  High end watches are not quartz movement.

Might as well buy a Michael Kors watch if you are just after the looks.  

In regards to accuracy and reliability, my 20 dollar Timex Ironman has kept excellent time and is highly reliable.

People that pay 5K+ for a watch don't want a quartz watch, they want the art of the inhouse movement, the advancement of how far man has been able to track time without the user of battery and just gravity and levers etc.
