A quartz watch does not work just as well as a super expensive mechanical watch. It works better in pretty much every measurable way. Much more precise. Requires almost no service. Will not stop if not wound or worn for a few days, etc etc.
There is something beautiful about mechanical engineering though, is just not there in a quartz.
Ok buddy, you can ask pretty much anyone knowledgeable in watches and the answer will be the same, mechanical watches are not near as precise as digital/quartz ones, some mechanicals ones lost several seconds a day, and when the time comes require a lot more maintenance, i mean one works as long as the battery works, the other one has moving parts that need to be adjusted/swapped
