There are a lot of affordable mechanical watches in the modern era - they're not all Rolex and Omega. Mechanicals are less accurate (generally, but not bad, and becoming more and more of a non issue in the modern day, think seconds per month), but have some more 'charming' features.Mechanical watches have no electronics of any kind on board, and have a sweeping second hand, which really means it will have 6 or 8 tiny ticks per second, but to the naked eye it's a sweeping motion and are generally more 'lifetime' pieces. Quartz is the most accurate, in terms of staying on-time for the longest (EcoDrive is a quartz movement). They all have strengths and weaknesses, too. You'll learn that watches are like cars - they all require maintenance - just like anything you want to keep for a long time.Īn EcoDrive will require a new battery one day, quartz movements require batteries frequently, and mechanical movements require tuneups from time to time. The gang over there will do their best to be objective.

Over there, we have not only experience with, but also lots of opinions and information on the 3 main types of watches: Mechanical, Quartz, and Hybrid (EcoDrive, Kinetic).

This would be an excellent question for r/Watches.
