>>2542025Mechanical watches will never be fully accurate. They will drift over time. Even if you blow a considerable sum of money on a chronometer certified watch it can still run up to 2 minutes off per month. Not to mention the fact that if not properly serviced the accuracy will get worse over time - all in all it requires a service about as often as a battery powered watch except such service requires special tools, a lot of skill, knowledge and precision and in some cases hard to come by replacement parts - swapping the battery on the other hand can often be done by anyone who knows how a screwdriver works and doesn't have parkinson's. And to top it off no mechanical watch will be as shock or drop resistant as a quartz movement. If you want accurate time everywhere all the time under all conditions and you want to reduce your reliance on batteries then get yourself a solar powered gshock of any flavor - there's a pretty large selection so I'm sure you'll find something that suits your taste. I personally decided to splurge a little and went for the classic square in a stainless casing for a little more bling, it's flashy and retro and I like it.
