Yes quartz are more accurate than automatics, even a Rolex generally cannot compete in accuracy with the cheapest quartz movements, automatic movements are just appreciated for how they work. For something with no electric power they are amazing.
CheapThrills, that Sea-Gull in the first post is nice! Not too big - it's good to have at least one monster watch to wear when you're in the mood.
I wore this Citizen Nighthawk (solar powered) for awhile, but it was a little too heavy for my tastes...
So this is what I EDC for now, Casio Pathfinder PAW1300g, the atomic time keeping and solar power are handy and it's very lightweight.
It's also got a Maratac S-series Zulu nylon band, very comfortable and durable. I don't think I can ever go back to a metal band again. ... plus, no hair pullers!
I was tempted, they have some fairly good reviews over on watchuseek, can't justify a seagull just yet.
I've picked up a couple of parnis, and I'm putting a little a side to buy the next chinese forum watch, really like the one I missed out on so hoping the next is just as good.
Nice watches atbglenn, any other difference in those two Seiko5´s than looks? 8)
I was also checking that WUS "Moonie". I liked it but I never really got the idea of the moonphase in wristwatch...
The other issue is thickness of 14mm if I remember correctly. Huge clump, possibly 40mm at least in diameter also. Still, very nice especially for the price.
I used to wear a SKX007, just a cheap diver, I wore it for over 10 years, most recently on a WJ Oyster. Then one day it just felt way too heavy and thick, so now I wear a cheap Casio, nice and thin, light, accurate, has a little light in it, hahah.
I'm a fan of simple, stylish watches like that, however, I'm also practical so I need digital. I just can't get used to watches again since I've went without for a few years now. That black one is slick though.
I like it alot. The only problem with most automatic watches is that they're no where near as accurate as a Quartz watch. Both of mine gain about 15 seconds a day. One thing, if you know a good Jeweler, they can be calibrated to be within a couple a seconds a day..
