During this quarentine my mechanical collection has been in DEEP hibernation, while my quartz watches have been summoned into daily duty.⌚100k subs are just around the corner Jory! Cheers 2 all on this T3 channel! 🍻🥂🍺🍺🍷🍷🍸🍸🍹🍹👏👍
During this quarentine i using everyday my GW-9400 , and I was asking myself why. And seeing your video ou answered why! Thanks a lot Jory T3!
@@alexandredeoliveirapenna198 Thanks for sharing, cheers mate! 🍻🥂🍺🍺🍷🍷🍸🍸🍹🍹👏👍
That’s so true! Rockin G-Shock GW-5610.
@@Emkei2010 Same here, GW-5610 & Casio Duro have been great pandemic watches thus far. ⌚💡⌚💡 Cheers brotha! 🍻🥂🍺🍺👏👍
I lost my dad to COVID-19 two weeks ago and my mom and I have been recovering from the virus ourselves. Between mourning and being terribly sick I wasn't watching any youtube. This was the first video I watched in weeks and it made me smile for the first time in a few days. Growing up I always remember my dad wearing a quartz diver, a Tag Heuer 1500 ( I know how you feel about Tag Heuer lol) that he ended up giving to me a few years back when he picked up a much newer Tag. I have so many great memories of him wearing that watch and I'll cherish it forever. I just wanted to thank you for making content that can make me smile during these trying times.
Thank you, he worked really hard his whole life, he came from poverty in the Philippines to be able to afford a small collection of watches.
Seiko is a really weird company. Their automatic watches are notoriously misaligned, wheres their quartz watches are notoriously dead-on.
Crazy! only Seiko can sell a $100 automatic and a $100000 watches!
Brooklyn Hustlers Yeah but can they sell both a $100 quartz watch and a $84000 quartz watch with barely any difference outside of the case being gold?
Haha not so fast there buddy, my SBBN035 is distinctly Seiko-esque with it's misalignments.
Love it to death though
There are beautiful seiko watch which are quartz, but I hate quartz.
Yasyas Marangoz why? I personally love myprospex diver. It literally charges the battery for 45 days by being exposed to sun for 15 mins. Who needs an automatic?
Kind of amusing to see that you need just a $15 Casio as a reference to set expensive mechanicals regularly.
Love this channel, keep it up T3! ❤️❤️❤️
hahaha yes I do the same 😂
@@64Goef Why not just use a cell phone to set? If you're going to try and be accurate, you might as well be accurate!
@@patrickjeter7928 And with a cellular phone clock controlled by the Carrier network you can very easily set an accurate second time. Perhaps I am just OCD. Phil.
@@patrickjeter7928 Very true. however, the watches I use for reference are a Casio Wavecepter or G shock Mudmaster. These are accurate enough for me. 😊
In my experience, my Waveceptors are more accurate than even my phone, which routinely runs over a minute ahead.
I trust them more than the phone or smartwatch as a result, and use them to set the rest of my timepiece collection.
There was a reason for the quartz crisis. Quarz movements are just so easy to live with. That beeing said, mechanical watches are a nice counterweight to everything digital and electronic. Grand Seiko/Seiko are one the right path with their high quality serviceable quartz movements.
Come to think of it, my Casio world time, Citizen promaster tough and Citizen eco-drive diver are my go-to pieces when I rush out the door 👍🏻
Really, Citizen's 'Tough' is right in there any time, any where.
I recently got myself a Citizen Ecodrive Promaster Diver and I haven't worn another watch since! Quartz + solar is the best combination
The sun dial people are gonna be calling you a snob Jory, watch out lol
I wish my mom had named me Shonkey Moulder lol
When I need accurate time, I go with quartz. Mostly, mine are solar. They live on a window sill facing south in my home. They’re always ready and running at the correct time. Yes, I still love my autos, but accuracy is cool!
you love your solars...southernly exposure feeds them haha
I keep mine in the window too, when I’m not wearing it, so it gets charged during daylight hours and it gets the atomic clock signal at midnight to recalibrate the time.
I do the same thing. They are always ready to go.
Can you recommend a good solar? Something simple and durable
Automatic watches are for nostalgia. Quartz watches are for real time keeping.
Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?
@@D2MightyDucks Huge, veiny, armor plated testicles.
@@D2MightyDucks Best quote 👍
The truth
Not true, my daily watch is an automatic. It was a lovely gift after graduation and my only problem is it runs a bit fast.
I’d been wearing my Casio f91w this whole quarantine and my automatic has been dead the whole time
Same
A158WE here. So almost same. :-)
@@Tendies7645 Same with me but with CASIO GW - M5610 and I do not have plans to change anything about that. Actually, I am sure that my next purchase will be quartz. Probably one of those VHP Longines or solar-powered Seiko or Citizen.
Same with my W-800 :)
My autos are in the draw solar quartz are the ones getting worn. Winding autos now is hassle as I am not busy enough to be wearing them to keep them wound.
Fully agree quartz watches are far more reliable, accurate and hassle free than mechanical ones.
Two more points to add on top of what were being mentioned. First, solar powered watches are preferred, not just quartz. That is to prevent waterproof seal from being broken, say a G-Shock. I have experiences of having my G-Shocks' battery replaced and learnt that they are best done at the authorised Casio Service Centre because only they will reseal the waterproofing after a battery change. Another ordinary watch shop will only simply replace the battery without re-applying waterproof seal to the caseback, meaning you can't swim with the watch anymore. Of course the Casio Service Centre charges a lot more than the regular watchmaker. Therefore, a solar powered watch is ideal to avoid tempering with a watch's caseback.
Secondly, a watch with automatic time calibration further sweetens the deal as it eliminates the need for regular adjustment, say once a month or 2 months. Watches with Multi-band 6, GPS or at least with Bluetooth connectivity ensure you don't have to re-adjust the time, date or timezone whatsoever. Brilliant!
So I would strongly suggest these 2 functionalities on top of just a regular quartz movement. Seiko has its Astron range, albeit the high price tag. Casio G-Shock and Edifice would probably fit the bill nicely.
James S totally agree! Atomic timekeeping + solar powered technology is a great advantage making it a trustworthy timepiece.
@@Emkei2010 Yes. More and more consumers have realised the benefits of such features. However, a large chunk still have not.
I agree on solar powered, or at least charging. The whole point of a quartz watch is accuracy and robustness (although I wish more manufactures would focus on style and dress quartz as well) and if I have to crack the watch open to replace the battery, then what’s the point of water resistance? The Seiko Arnie, Citizen Satellite Wave, and dare I say Apple Watch (hate all you want but it’s the most accurate and functional watch, with also a quartz element, on the market) are my go to most of the time because they are just ready to go, always.
Yes, I agree.
Solar powered is the best version of quartz. Keeps the seal intact
Great episode and I love having a collection of mechanical, quartz, handwind and digital. The idea that quartz is inferior is silly imho, especially if it’s done right
Most of my watches are automatic, however, my beater is quartz. It is the Victorinox INOX. I also do a lot of sailing and the quartz watch that I wear is an APH Toscano. This is a Canadian company, Italian design, and Swiss made. I agree with you that there is nothing wrong with quartz.
The website doesn't show much for specs on this watch. Tell me more about it.
@@WatchUnwind , I was just about to reply, let me add that the Vesuvio wears bigger, yet very comfortable on the wrist. My measurements were more like 43mm. Lug to lug, 49. Lug width, 24. Not too tall at 13. The silicone/ rubber strap tapers to 22. The back is nicely engraved as well. Ah yes, both crowns are screw-down and engraved. It has small protective shrouds at each end with hex screws. This watch is inbetween the Victorinox INOX and the Seiko Marinemaster. It is more tool-looking than the INOX and much more refined than the Seiko. The original price was $500 and the watches are distributed from Nevada. Let me know if you buy one. Andre, the owner of the conpany is a great guy to chat with.
@@WatchUnwind , you are most welcome. I will also check out your channel. I also like bullheads. I have a question. If a watch has one crown and it is at 12 or 6 position, is there a nickname for that ?
@@WatchUnwind , Thanks. I checked out a couple of videos and subscribed. 😉
@@WatchUnwind Thanks.
I was looking forward to hear this kind of clever comments on why to wear quartz watches. My " grab and go watches " are a Casio DW5600 and a Citizen BM 8180. My other watches are mechanical, and I've been looking for a Timex Navi Harbor 38mm as a third option for everyday watches. Very hard to find. I think exactly like you. It's a very logic oriented way to collect watches, searching for pieces that are usefull and fits your life style and also pieces that have design and/or historical legacy. You will reach 100.000 viewers sooner than you think. Be safe. Stay home. Greetings from Brazil.
I like your channel. You’ve got a nice personality, a sense of humor, and seem unbiased. Probably my favorite watch channel.
You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the QUARTZ WATCHES, not ENJOY them, bring balance to the WATCH COLLECTING, not leave it in darkness.🤣🤣🤣
*UNLIMITED POWER*
"Where's the Time Teller? Is he safe? Is he all right?"
"It seems, in his lockdown, he wore quartz watches..."
"No, he couldn't have, he was a horologist, I felt it... I... Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
I don’t like quartz watches they are cheap, industrial, and soulless, and they are everywhere.
When I first started collecting watches for real, I owned 4 watches that actually ran. Only one was a quartz, 2 were automatic, although I had two that didn’t run, and one old Timex manual wind. As it turned out one of the autos that did run was passed down to me by my Dad, and it was a Blancpain fifty fathom military model from the early 60’s. I had no idea of its value until my son who was already into watches posted about it on Horology talk. The response was tremendous! Everyone wanted it! I wore it as a kid to my Boy Scout camporees and just campouts. I also became a sea scouts, and used it for diving. It never missed a lick. I new it had some value, but it turned out that the Rolex band on it was more valuable than what I thought the whole watch was worth! I’m disabled, and have been on a retirement pension since I was 45, and the money it brought when I sold it got me out of debt and started a nice little retirement fund. Now I own 27 watches and only 4 are automatics. The rest are quartz. The big takeaway of this is that quartz watches are much less expensive than autos are, and that’s why I own so many of them. I can’t afford a nice auto but I own several nice watches now that are quartz. I love watches and enjoy the he11 out of them all! I watch your videos, and Jody’s religiously. Keep up the good work, because I’ve learned so much from Jory and Jody! LOL
Watch & Unwind I think the Blancpain made me enjoy watches even more. It turned out to be very hot...in the radio-active scale that is. The guy that bought it from me was going to keep it until it registered so hot. He quickly sold it and made a lot of money off me!
I lost a cheap quartz watch in a box 10 years ago. It still beeps every hour. Somewhere in my room.
I
cannot
find
it.
That’s hilarious!!
Lol that’s hilarious
I love Seiko!!! Reasonably priced and last FOREVER
Just like my kinetic watch had it for years
Talking of price Orient can currently offer interesting choices (Kamasu comes to my mind instantly) and I do not believe that quality is inferior.
not at all, still pricey for the quality dude
seiko could have done better, check spinnaker for the reference
I am wearing Seiko sports SQ 100 from 1978. (quartz). Works perfectly 👌
"last FOREVER" - come off it.
Just watched this and now you’re closing in on 200k subscribers. So awesome! I’ve been watching TH-cam my whole life as a source of easy information on a whole bunch of topics. What’s best about your channel is the in-depth information you provide with huge entertainment value. It seems like it comes naturally to you and it’s truly a joy to keep watching. Pumped for you and while I haven’t been subscribed for long I absolutely won’t be going anywhere. I think you could make content on ANY subject and make it fun while still being full of good information. So, well done! Thank you sir and enjoy your day.
I wear both. I love the materials used on high end automatics, but i love the accuracy of quartz. Lately i am thinking how wearing quartz watches are really just the way to go for a everyday watch. Love my gshocks.
My late father was a master watchmaker , I literally grew up in his shop and I love digital , eco drives and solar watches … automatics really are not my thing …. BTW , diving is my hobby and I only own one dive watch which I only wear when I dive . My favorite watch in the world , also my default watch is the Casio DW5600CMB . Now I can see the desk divers and watch snobs foaming at the mouth , sharpening their pitchforks and lighting up the torches …. Lol .
Nah, I'm glad you get to dive and that you love your Casio. I love my Tudor Pelagos but I haven't been able to dive it yet. Dive safe!
@@jesstotten5571 Sir , I'm from the island of Punta Gorda , in the Bay of Cienfuegos . Cuba , where the only pastimes are diving , rowing , sailing or fishing but is you decide some day , to take on scuba diving , you will live the rest of your life asking yourself : Why didn't I did this before ? . Your dive watch , a beautiful piece of modern horology that should accompany you in that experience . One advice , if you should go diving , do it in clear tropical waters , you'll thank me later .
I got one automatic watch and 5 quartz watches for my daily.. its a peace of mind having a quartz watches, i can wear it in any situation,and throw it around when i feel wanted to. And casio is the best quartz beside my citizen and swiss quartz movement,they hit every marker on the dial..
One point in favour of quartz watches that is often missed... is that they can also give you things that mechanical can't.
When they have functions that would not be achievable (or stupidly expensive) with mechanics. I especially like analog quartz watches with many functions built in that creatively use the hands to display those function.
Two examples from watches I own would be my Casio EQS-A500 and my Citizen AS4020-44B. Some analog GSHOCKs would also serve as example. When you change the settings the hands whizz about left and right to show what's needed and when you're done they instantly swing back to displaying the time without having missed one second. I find those things hugely satisfying to play about with.
Quartz should be embraced as second technology alongside the mechanical watch, complimenting it and offering other things that mechanical might not reasonably be able to.
I started out my collecting with Quartz watches 20+ years ago.. Because of your video's I've decided to get back in to G shocks again.. Thanks
You can also pull the crown out to save on battery life.
Be mindful a lot of movements will still count time they just dont move the hands so it may still consume juice just more slowly
@@bryanmower2703 a shop assistant at an AD told me this could be done indeed. I do that for my bell and ross BRS because it costs almost 80 euros to have the battery changed so I try to save the battery when I know I'm not going to wear it for a while. I wouldn't pull the crown and stop it every day though.
I've started to sell off my Autos. Going to keep my old Sub, a British MOD broad arrow field watch and my beater Fortis, the rest gone.
I wear my Casios or my Quartz omega SMP. Tired of screwing around ALWAYS adjusting the time after several days of not wearing the autos. I like watching the second hand SMOOTHLY tracking, but also nice to pick up and it's correct. I know one can buy a winder.
Just got a sangin instruments professional with a Rhonda quartz movement. Already in love with it. True military time piece
I have similar views on quartz watches. Thanks for the background on how you got started on TH-cam. Love the channel Jory! Keep up the great work.
I wear quartz watches everyday. I have a selection of Momentum watches that I rotate through, that are great watches, they have easy to read Lume and are 100-200, water resistant.I also wear a Timex that I wear at night for the alarm functions. I also have a few mechanical watches from Micro Brands that I enjoy wearing for special occasions. I enjoy the different feeling going from the quartz to the mechanical watches. Thanks for your videos. Roger
Since we’ve been in this lockdown I’ve been wearing my CWC G10, I love this well made little quartz watch.
My collection is 50/50. Love the intricacy of mechanical watches, and the technology of quartz.
Reason #6: The Mudmaster is self charging, accurate, and tough as nails during a pandemic. No shops around me can currently maintain or repair anything - No battery replacement and pressure test. So, a solar g shock is my go to Covid 19 watch.
Mudmaster all the way!
I have and like a Mudmaster but it is so very very so very big. I prefer my Tuna as my grab and go watch.
@@MrDagon007 yeah, bud Mudmaster can handle swimming through a swamp infested by Corona zombies. 😁
Casio - DW-5600e, its accurate and convenient.
I have a Casio LCW-M500TD, it is solar powered and radio controlled, its so satisfying to watch the watch being in sync with the train station clocks.
A cool watch is a cool watch ⌚👍🏻👍🏻
I wear loads of quartz watches ( not at the same time though ). I love them for all the same reasons as stated on the video. Don’t get me wrong, I love mechanical watches as well and they don’t have to be expensive to be in the collection, but they do require attention and by definition, the quartz watch is superior engineering per se.
Next watch I will buy is Longines conquest V.H.P. There's something about that super accurate movement. Just got my grail, explorer 1 and was hoping that would be it, but noooo. I wan't more watches. This is a freaking decease...
Jani Hellberg DITTO insane disease when Auto grails aren’t enough and then you go back to spend $$200-$2000 on an accurate sexy quartz LOL
LONGINES MASTER COLLECTION | Blue Edition | L2.793.4.92.0
Ur gonna love the vhp. Its actually explorer'esqe. I got it for 2yrs now and its actually more acurate than my 9f and it hits the markers Where 9f... Doesnt.
Always Longines.
Jani Hellberg the Black Dial VHP is on my list. I like the 43mm and 30bars WR! Perfect everyday for that price. Tux to Beach Classic!
I wear a Quartz watch a lot, when doing things like working on a tractor or car. I don’t have to worry about damaging them because of vibration or hitting things.
I have GShock , Edifice, Seiko and Tissot Quarts....great watches....and watching your youtube channel inspired me to buy automatics...Thanks alot and you have given alot of ideas on mechanical and automatic movement watches..keep the videos comming....kudos!
I subscribe to a number of watch review sites. You are one of the most informative and humorous watch reviewers on You Tube. My wife hears me chuckling and she knows I'm watching one of your reviews.
I have 12 watches and most of them are quartz. My mechanical watches are all hand wound. I have my grandfather's Omega pocket watch circa 1920s.
There’s something almost mystical about mechanical watches, especially automatics. Never ceases to amaze me. I have them, the favorite of my collection included. But my quartz ones outnumber them 3 or 4 to 1. The Hamilton Field King I wear everyday on duty and the Hamilton Khaki Field I wear camping, hunting, etc are both quartz models. Accurate, sturdy, reliable, and oh so cool. Just strap on and go.
Shout-out to Patrick, the editor, and Jory - 100k here we come 💯
Looking forward to celebrating your 100,000! You are awesome and I hope you and yours are doing well during these strange times.
Have both 2 mechanicals and 4 quartz! Daily wear is the classic seamaster 300 2541.80! Congrats on your channel growth may it keep getting bigger!
I agree with everything you said plus you can get Quartz watches with back lights. IMO Timex Indiglo is one of the greatest watch features in decades. When I was a kid in the 80/90s EVERYONE (well kids) wanted anIndiglo watch. Loom is fine if you have the expensive good stuff but it dosen't even compare to the purple Led lights like in Casios Gravity masters or timex Indeglo.
I can’t deny the Seiko Tuna is awesome and very luminous as well. The vids are awesome, thanks Jory AKA the Great Bearded Snob
My everyday is a Timex Expedition Metal Tech. 100M water resistant, 39mm, leather strap, date window, indieglow. Very accurate with the seconds. It is my first watch.
I go through phases of bouncing between my automatics and my quartz, but have always seen the latter as benefiting from being grab and go. Plus, I got a high frequency quartz last year and love how I can depend on it being spot on without having to double check with a master clock all the time.
I bought a Citizen EcoSrive pro-diver with a sapphire crystal and machined clasp for $100 at TJMAXX. Coined bezel and screw down crown. The bezel is spot on.
This is my everyday go to watch.
Proudly wearing my Parnis Panerai homage mecha quartz chrono today .Also I often wear a quartz to work where exact time is more important and slip into something with a sexy sweep in the evening .
From Fraser, husband of Leslie
Anybody remember the Bulova Accutron ? This was the first watch to move away from mechanical escapements by using a very small tuning fork powered by a battery. It probably got near to quartz levels of time precision, but obviously was expensive.
On my wrist now is a Citizen Eco-Drive that also synchronises ever night with the Mainglingen time signal in Germany. My Casio does the same thing, but uses the UK transmitter at Anthorn.
When I compare both watches in the morning, the hour and minute is always identical, but the Casio second hand leads by about 1/3rd of a second.
Mate, no doubt you'll go wellpast 100k. You have a very unique and funny point of view when reviewing watches. Keep it up!
I have been wearing my Casio G-Shock GW300A-2V this entire quarantine. I believe I bought this watch sometime in 1997-2000 and have had only one thing go wrong with it. The EL stopped working and I sent it to Casio where they replaced the guts. It has been a workhorse ever since.
I have a Casio Worldtimer, it was flying with me arround the world. I will never give it away. Two weeks ago I fell in love with a Casio Chronograph in Black with a dark blue dial . On the other hand, I have handwind dresswatches and a Omega Speedy. It depends on my mood what I wear and the situation. When I see a watch and I love it, I will buy it or I will save money to buy it but it dosn't matter what ticks inside.
Hi Jory, l have a few mechanical watches but I waer my 5610 with no shame. Today is my son's 7th birthday and I bought him f91w as a gift. Good luck.
I recently pulled a 1987 5600 square out of a drawer. The resin case disintegrated immediately, but it fired right up when I put a new battery in it. I really like the idea of having a G-Shock around, so I got a Rangeman. I hope to keep that watch long enough for it to disintegrate, too.
Don't always agree with you , but , always watch your stuff because you're passionate about what you talk about and that's rare enough 👍
I've got a mix of types of watches in my collection : Auto , quartz , solar and mechaquartz and basically I buy what I like and find aesthetically pleasing ( big words for 10am on a Saturday ) two of my favourite collection pieces are my Seiko sportura SNA451 and my Tissot V8 British racing green chronograph .
I daily a Marathon General purpose 34mm with a high torque ETA quartz. It’s very robust and just convenient and very comfortable on my small wrist.
You hit some great points there. I kind of feel a little sense of relief when I grab one of my quartz watches.
Good stuff. I now own Seiko watches after watching your channel. Of course, all quartz.
Wow. Legit, my fave part of this was Jory undressed there at the end. T3, I and many others look forward to your content. I don't know if it's the rants, or the approachable delivery, but this channel always makes me feel like I'm just learning watches from a friend. Thanks for everything. I subbed at around the high 60k subscribers and it has been a privilege seeing the channel grow from there. Much love.
My favorite watch is a Citizen Eco-Drive quartz. Silver markers, no numerals. Pearl face. Small date window. Light weight. On an olive elastic NATO. No ticking sound whatsoever. It’s so perfectly comfortable, minimalist & accurate, I can’t imagine a better daily timepiece.
definitely agree on most points. wanna buy a quartz crisis era model soon...
Lately I've been loving solar watches. It's kinda the eat of both worlds in that you don't have to wind it but you also dont have to change the battery.
Another thing I like about quartz watches is not having to worry about magnetism. I know there are watches with magnetic protection, but those tend to be on the pricier side. I have a phone case with a pretty strong magnet on it, so when I wear my mechanical watch I have to carry my phone in my other pocket and be very aware of how close I am getting it to my watch. I've already had to demagnetize my watch which isn't a big deal, but it's not something I want to have to do on a weekly basis.
Thank you, Patrick, for giving us all The Time Teller! :)
I’m sending him this comment! 😎🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love my 1973 Omega megaquartz. Its one of 2 work watches. Its solid has a date function since i have to remember the day on my paper work at the end of the work day. Plus the 1310 movement has some history. So yeah I'm down with a quartz watch
I daily wear at the moment a Nautis 17065G model. It is a dive watch with a Swiss Rhonda quartz movement. Working a fairly active job its durability and ease of use is great. I also own a vintage Breitling watch that is quartz. I personally love both automatic and quartz movements.
Brother, I appreciate your honest feedback, even when it's controversial. I have a go-to Citizen Flighthawk that is in regular rotation. I'm mostly an anti-quartz snob myself, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place for an F91W or a Casioak (eventually...) in my collection. I mostly don't wear quartz because it defeats my aesthetic goal, but I appreciate them and realize there's a ton of valid, interesting quartz pieces out there. I honestly cannot see paying hundreds/thousands for a quartz piece, though. Good episode!
for many year i had worn exlusively analog quartz watches, always rejected square digital watches, then i moved to automatin watches (orient), to have a single watch. i might have been a snob back then, but now i'm a big fan of casio watches, and wear them exclusively (f91w silver, a168, aq-s800 and under delivery GDB-800-8).
I wear them because they are light, comfortable, has more functions other than time, and they're just fun. it's funny, because the cost of these 4 watches are equal to one orient automatic i have (and which i do not wear anymore). futhermore, i no longer worry about damaging my watches. with the orient i always had that feeling, i was never comfortable wearing that amount of money on my wrist while being a tourist in shady districts or doing sports.
Most of my quartz watches are Eco-Drives, but for outdoor work, woodworking, etc. I wear an all digital Casio W-219H, available on Amazon for
I have a couple of Cizen Eco-Drives and they are great. I recently picked up he Promaster Tough and it is as tough as nails.
Great video - I’m officially a Quartz wearer too - my mechanicals are in the box - I have a collection of Seiko Quartz HAQ watches - Grand Quartz, Suoerior Majesta and dolce and I must say accuracy consistency and convenience is important and these can be had for bargains - these aren’t throw away - these are jewelled adjustable hand finished movements - and YOU - your fault - you made me buy a Must de Tank Cartier Quartz and i LOVE it
I have a Casio G-5600A (YELLOW) and a Casio MDV-106 Duro dive watch. My collection is complete. I am ready to roll.
"The smoother the sweep, the nicer the watch"? So the bulova precisionist must a quartz really worth looking at, huh?
I have a catamount diver - the blue dial version- and its beautiful, the sweep is awesome for a quartz. I think it's something like 16 ticks per second?
1)Yes quarts are convenient/amazingly so. Great point.
2) Yes. They are resilient and able to live. And 3) You just throw it away if it breaks. Quarts is hard to service. It's cheap most of the time. Low maintenance watches. Check. Ease of wear.
4) Immediate time source!!! More accurate. We set our mechanical movements with quarts and digital time...true..
5) High tech difference. Refreshing and always with new movements. Also true. But I personally hate the tick of quartz!! I adore sweeping hands. Like the Grand Seiko. You have to see it live to believe!
On your point 5, I would recommend a Grand Seiko spring drive with mechanical sweeping movement but pretty close accuracy to a quartz due to the quartz crystal contained within. Best of both worlds but comes with a high price.
regarding point 4, so is any computer or cell phone. You certainly don't "need" a quartz watch as an accurate time reference.
I also still using quartz watch.
1. G-Shock Gulfmaster. Solar power also.
2. Swatch Irony.
Suunto Spartan for workout.
Hi Jory! Thank you for your work. I also wear G Shock DW6900 Neo Tokyo and Seiko Baby Tuna Black Edition every day.
When I was fourteen, a girlfriend bought me a Timex Expedition. I never bought a another watch, unitl I bought a Seiko 5. The Expedition is green plastic, with cheap looking gray ring around the face. I broke off half the gray ring, and the plastic is worn smooth. It still works, and changed the battery maybe four times. I lost the Expedition behind my bed for five years, and it was still going. I'm not a watch person, I just love my watches. I have one for work. One for kicking around. One for travel. One for when exercise. Then I have the Expedition.
Happy for you man! Congrats in advance on your 100k to 1m!
You nailed it...no debate needed. Now love my comment....now!

And I can not believe that you would be so thoughtful to actually thank all of your subscribers and viewers for getting you to over 97,000 subs. I am so offended that I am going to subscribe and hit the bell icon and become a member and like every video. So take that Jory and your cool beard.
By the way congratulations Jory👍😁
"Stubborn ticking." That's actually a really good way to put it. Can't stop! Won't stop!
Congratulations for 97k subs buddy... keep going gud luck...
Keep the great videos coming buddy! 100k is right around the corner.
I wear my Seiko urchin in the office but sometimes switch to my Casio analogue with a sweeping second hand in the afternoon or my Alba panda. Great videos by the way. 👍👍👍
I got my Seamaster 200m prebond quartz. What a watch!!!!
Best Watch Guy On TH-cam!!
Of my 15 or so watches 2 are quartz. The 1st, a Tag Hauer 200 meter Professional I bought in 2000 before becoming an automatic watch enthusiast (spent about $300 to have it completely refurbished in 2019,) and the obligatory G Shock all you watch guys tell me no collection is complete without. The 5610 with solar and atomic time and yes, they are both cool as hell and I do use them to set all of my autos with.
You can certainly appreciate a nice quartz watch without taking anything away from the mechanical watches that so rev most of our motors in these parts.
You have worked really hard on creating content and have earned the success. Congratulations Jory.
youre welcome, happy easter
Finally came around
I love my quartz watches! They're cheap and I don't need to worry about beating them up. they're also always on the right time and day it's super convenient
Big reason for me is it reduces wear and tear on my collection. Also for everyday outdoor exercise, the digital timing on my Timex Ironman, is just too bombproof to ignore.
Like you, in the current lockdown, I had no idea what the day was so although I usually only wear mechanical watches I have just bought a cheap day/date quartz watch for the current pandemic. I would like to say that I found it very difficult to find a quartz day/date but after a lot of searching I finished up with an Accurist. I do like accuracy which is why I bought quartz and didn’t bother to wear my Sinn 104T. In these troubled times you just don’t seem to spend money so 60 bucks on the Accurist is neither here nor there.
A true watch lover also love Quartz watches
Many have told the time . But there will always be only one time teller . Thanks for the rad content man keep it up 👍🏻
Good video. I Prefer Quartz Watches. I have a couple of manual and automatic watches because I think they are interesting and cool in their own way. However, I prefer quartz watches because of the many reasons that you mention in this video. I am lazy sometimes so I just like how easy and convenient a quartz watch can be. I don't have to remember to wind it or shake my wrist. My solar Casio with atomic timekeeping is as "Set It and Forget it" as you can get! I use it to set all my other watches. Although the Casio is my most precise and perfect time keeper, a certain Bulova Precisionist is my favorite watch for sentimental reasons.
I love my Bulova ‘Lunar Pilot’ and Seiko ‘Arnie’ they are both bullet proof, accurate and drama free. I have 12 automatic watches but wear these two regularly. 😊
