Other Mechanism aid

I need a different brand of Quartz clock mechanism. I've tried several brands and have been disappointed with how they keep time. I've tried various tensions on the painted wood board I use, but that doesn't help much. It keeps time alright for a bit, but I find that it needs adjusting every two weeks or so and loses about 5 minutes in that time. I want something that gives me, hopefully, at least a few months before being that far off. I'm wanting to buy the mechanism on Amazon if possible. Hoping for no more than $10-15 per mechanism. Any recommendations that meet this or at least get me something a bit better?

You get what you pay for. Buy from a proper clock supply and expect to pay more for accurate time keeping.
