What percentage of your collection are mechanical watches?

I was told when I joined here that there would be no math.

Im very enthusiastic about vintage, gadgety digitals or ana-digi's. Therefore most of my collection is quartz but I do have 4 mechanicals

I prefer quartz! Will probably only have 3 auto, so far islander 223( might gift), Seiko ssk019 and SRPJ27.

3 quarts, 14 mechanical.

One Apple Watch, one G-Shock, and one quartz Annual Calendar Moonphase because that's a bitch to reset...

I started with quartz a long…long time ago. 99% of my new buys are automatics/mechanical.

Four mechanical out of 21 watches. I mostly wear quartz because I just like to change a lot, and sometimes i dont want to be bothere to set my mechanical ones.

Shout out to @Drowning_in_Digitals who is helping me drink the Kool-aid.

My first watches were quartz and the oldest that I own right now which is a 9 year old Casio MTP - 1370 which is still working.

Took it to sea, rivers or pools and still working. Only reason why it had those major scratches is because of the salt lamp melting next to it when I left it on my apartment during covid lockdown.

2/5 of my current watches are mechanical. 1 Omega, 1 Islander, 3 Casios.

A little under a quarter.

BUT… I want to qualify my answer by stating that I don’t seek out mechanical watches; it just happens to be the case that most of mine are so. It seems that most “nice” watch offerings out there unfortunately use mechanical movements and that brands reserve their best designs for their mechanical watches.

There are a couple of quartz watches on my list at the moment: the Addiesdive “dunes” dial in sand brown and a Casio Lineage.

I also want to add that, for people who are mechanical snobs, y’all are missing out on some seriously cool tech.

Roughly 60/40, favouring quartz and other electrics. At some point I’ll be thinning the heard, and some of the novelty watches will probably leave the fold; the tend to be inexpensive quartz pieces acquired just-for fun or out of curiosity (what does a $14 “luxury” timepiece feel like?).

Although I really don’t harbour any prejudice one way or the other, mechanical watch’s do have a certain aura of almost miraculous intricacy.

Currently 1 quartz, 1 mecaquartz chrono and 3 automatics in a total of 5. In the long run I'll end up with a CW Valour chrono or an Oceanus S100 as my only quartz watch, I guess.

50/50 to be honest

50/50

How do you do percents again?

O% mechanical. 100% quartz. If I eventually add a mechanical watch, it will be a Spring Drive, Grand Seiko - at present they’re all little too big to be ideal for that amount of money.

I appreciate mechanical watches but for me, I need reliable and accurate time keeping, and therefore this can be quite fustrating as there are some designs which are only mechanical.

ike 99% are mechanical 😂 some fancy g-shocks ya know

D. But only because I caught the G-Shock bug last year.
