Brett,
my everyday watch for work, sports,activities and holidays is a full size quartz Seamaster pro Bond watch. it is still expensive compared to 'regular' watches, however i dont mind if it gets damaged, and it always keeps perfect time.
for 'special' occasions i wear my Speedmaster automatic. i like the fact it is a pure mechanical timepiece and look after it more and really appreciate the workmanship of it. i value it more than i value my quartz seamaster.
i think this is generally the consensus amongst 'watch people' ....
go for the mechanical option every time, is ultimately you will feel short changed with a quartz watch
