This has been discussed elsewhere, so forgive me if I'm going over old ground. Quartz watches are very precise. I have a Tag with an Eta 251.262 in it, and it keeps phenominal time...maybe gains a second every two weeks. It will always gain a second every two weeks. That's precision. In a year, I can bet money it'll be 36 seconds fast. My Seamaster GMT picks up maybe a second a day if I sleep with it on, but if I set it on the nightstand crown-down it loses two. Thus, I can't say after a year it'll be 365 seconds fast. It might very well be closer to "on time" than the highly precise quartz. That's accuracy.
I'm a television news cameraman, so in my business a second counts. Both watches, quartz and auto, give me a reliable time check within their very different parameters.
