Correction - a quartz movement is a battery powered counter. A cheap quartz movement is cheap to the point of being disposable. Lifeless and boring. No personality.Watchamacallit wrote:

Unless it's a Seiko Spring Drive, or a Bulova Precisionist both with liquid smooth sweeps. Or the Seiko 9F movement. Or the Citizen A010, or, or, or.... Heck, even my CW C70 COSC with it's ETA 251.272 movement is pinpoint accurate. I mean, it hasn't deviated a second in the nearly 4 months I've owned it. Which, when you think about it, is appropriate for a chronograph watch, more so than a mechanical which can't match that accuracy at 10x the price.
Horses for courses and all that.
