: like a million dollar? I really think it

: mechanically movement outweight the hassle
: of owning one.
That really comes down to a personal choice. Only you can value the trade offs.
I don't perceive mechanical watches as a hassle. Others do, based on either the need to reset them maybe a little more often or winding them if they have run down.
But then I drive a car with a manual transmission. Some people think that is a hassle, too and they drive automatics. Yet many people like the advantages of the manual. Again, it really is pure personal preference. Neither is clearly better than the other.
And remember, quartz watches are not totally hassle free. Every two to four years, you *have* to take it in to have a battery change.
