I know something about quartz.
The stone have an ideal frequency for watches when a power send through the quartz. Result is very accurate.
The downside is, it is electronic. It needs power from a battery.
It can be made very simple, so there is not much to talk about between passionated people.
A print, a battery, a quartz, nothing polished inside. The few gears do not help to make it more interesting.
Everybody can afford it, while for a beautiful mechanical watch the price is that high fearing people who only want a watch for knowing the right time.
Sure a quartz Cartier is something different than a Casio g-shock.
I have one quartz watch, because i like the way Longines worked on it.
4 years development by 200 employers. My super Swatch.

I can't rule out that I would purchase another quartz watch, but if it was one from a "better" brand I'd want to understand what was going on with the movement. My advice is to read a GS quartz review and get an understanding of the things Grand Seiko doe...

Don't worry about the quartz movements in Cartier watches

I have a Panthere watch from the eighties with a quartz movement and the watch still runs perfectly. This watch has an older movement where the battery lasts about two years. The current models have batteries that only need to be changed every 8 years as ...

. . . the high capacity (1.60mm thick ) battery last between 4 and 5 years. It remains very accurate after all this time. No seconds hand preserves the power. Who needs a seconds hand on a quartz watch? The 9J movement is by Frederic Piguet cal 820 (Carti...
