Re: It's to increase the db on the alarm
In Response To: It's to increase the db on the alarm ()

Hi, I wanted to put my 2 cents in by saying that quartz watches are just as good as mechanicals.
I own many, many mechanicals and many quartz watches and they both tell time. Yes, I am a purist and do indeed prefer a mechanical, but you have to be practical too. Not everyone wants to bother correcting a watch thats a mechanical if they don't wear it. A quartz will work no matter if you wear it or not. Thanks for reading.
