Re: Quartz vs. Automatic....More Thoughts

Reasons why rado quartz better than automatics watches:

1.All rado quartz made by swiss quartz that can help watch being very accurate

1. More accurate. Every rado quartz have been tested and have accuracy at least +/-0.5sec perday meanwhile the most accurate automatic-chronometer (certified by COSC) is -4/+6sec perday.

2. RELIABILITY-quartz can withstand more shock without problem comparing to automatic

3. COST. Two comparable watch (with the only difference being quartz vs. automatic) will have the automatic costing more. In addition, and not insignificantly, the cleaning of an automatic will cost significantly more that two mere battery replacements. So, for the cost-conscious, a quartz may be better.

4. No need to do regular services(recomended every 1 year for automatic watches)-batterry can life at least 30 month(2 1/2 years)

Haha..so buy rado quartz watches
