How did you manage to snap the exact moment of the 36 changing to 37?
Quartz is good. There is only one factor where mechanical is better: nostalgia.
The engineering behind them is incredible. Not always the prettiest movement to behold, but it’s magic on the wrist
I hear you, I love my automatics and mechanical watches but have a lot of quartz watches for exactly the reasons you stated 👍
Me too bud. I have 2 Casio digitals coming in on Friday a white W-215H and a red F-108WHC. I'll post when they get it. The orange is a bold move, and I love it.

Reflexes or luck 😅

Thin and accurate. And movements from 20 years ago still work great 😃

Yup my collection has more quartz in it currently which I would not have imagined 😃

Superb mate. These are cheap enough to go a bit bold. I regularly drool over Casio vintage 😅
half of my modest collection is quartz ... you can't beat the "grab-and-go" aspects of a decent quartz piece! Aesthetically too, some of them are real stunners (see some of Timex's recent re-issues!) 😎
the battery in my Casio Edifice EFV-100D recently died though, and you wouldn't believe the devil of a time I'm having trying to buy a replacement battery! so there's that! LOL! 😮
Quartz is great. I started out 4 years ago watch collecting with a fascination for mechanical watches, however am already swaying more and more towards different types of high(er) end quartz.
Quartz all the way for me!! I don’t see anything else in my future at this point. I just want to tell the time with something I enjoy looking at with no fuss or muss!
I do prefer automatic, but if we only had mechanical watches pieces like my favourite watch in my collection wouldn’t exist. It marvels me every time I check it against atomic time and the thing is like 0.2 faster or so.
My collection stands at 4 autos, 1 manual-wind, 4 quartz at the moment, so quite balanced.

A HAQ is a wonderful thing 🤩🤩

Sounds a great collection and that's one of my favourite Grand seikos 😃🔥

Love it 👏🏽
Same I’ve been flexing some quartz lately. Love this cadio
Love my quartz 👍
I appreciate the pros of both quartz and mechanical, and own more of the former (although the next watch currently on order is an automatic). I particularly enjoy wearing thin light watches, where quartz tends to shine.
