I have a few quartz watches
I don’t see anything wrong with that - some argue that it has no soul, but I personally think that’s a personal opinion, as there are a lot of nice quartz watches that are immaculately made and also take years of development by the watchmakers. FPJourne and Grand Seiko among the few to add to the others already listed here for the higher end ones. Fuss free, accurate and you don’t need to worry about power reserve for a weekend. The G Shocks also offer solid value and I know most of us here would have one that we use as “reference time” to set our mechanical ones to.

Would it be so bad to have one??
A quartz watch that is. I am considering adding a quartz watch to the collection. Nothing fancy, just something I can strap on for the weekends, or when everything else has stopped running and I don't want to wind and set. I saw a Longines VHP GMT posted ...
I have a couple quartz watches, mostly inexpensive funky vintage pieces, just because of the look.
But I do have a tungsten carbide and 18K Rado from 1999. Being TC it's practically indestructible although very heavy for it's size. Still looks like the day I bought it. ...
Quartz is great! I have several.
The only reason to avoid a watch because it's quartz is snobbery.
Buy what appeals to you

Nothing wrong with quartz...
quartz is certainly part of the history of horology. I would not mind owning a Girard Perregaux with the Caliber 350 or Beta 21 movement. ...
I have a few quartz pieces. They’re easy to grab and go.
Another inexpensive, but nicely styled line of quartz watches is Dan Henry. He also happens to be a prolific watch collector, and uses iconic watch styles from his collection to inspire his quartz line. I love wearing the 1962 panda. A great watch for kno...
Get a Gshock, preferably Tough Solar
I plan to wear mine through the zombie apocalypse .
I tend to like all kinds of watches.
For quartz, I like Grand Seiko. They use thermocompensated movements and high quality cases, dials, and hands. The GMT model is especially nice. Certina makes an excellent thermocompensated chronograph, the Precidrive DS-2. They have other models with les...
I have several, mostly G-Shock and Swatch but also some Seiko Tunas.
The Tunas were on the expensive side (relatively) when I bought them many years ago. Both batteries have ran out and of course I have yet to make the change. THIS is the biggest drawback for me, not that the watch may need a battery but more that I will j...
It’s not THAT hard to get a battery changed
I bet I change 10 a month for just family and friends. Cazalea
I agree, it’s not that hard. But my experience has been it’s just about enough trouble that it’s a job which keeps getting postponed !
Everyone has a task like this. I’ll do it tomorrow.
I wear a green, plastic, 35mm, $20 quartz Timex most of the time...

A great comment
Agree. And sure, a quartz can have a soul. I discovered my watch have it. I think it is a total package of a watch that brings the soul to a peace. Let’s say, if the build quality is good and it fits the owner good on the wrist, the good match brings the ...
If your a watch guy it wouldn’t matter if its a Quartz or automatic or electric watch .
At least I don’t mind , its all about the watch itself imo . I recently added a few Casioak watches and love them .
I own two. One from Bruno Söhnle Glashütte and a second from Philippe D'Arsy Paris that is a dual timer. Both are dress watches on leather straps.
The Bruno Söhne is for events when I want to avoid attention. The dual timer is for destinations where I'm cautious about security. I hang both from hooks in my dressing room to serve as clocks when I'm not wearing them.
I can give you advice
When choosing a Longines Conquest V.H.P. The most important to measure your wrist. Take attention of the size. The straps: Not only looks, wear comfort is important. A bracelet, rubber or leather, try all the possibilities. The Conquest have pushpins for ...
It’s terrible to have one...
... you need to have more than one! Two of my solar/quartz (guilty) pleasures say Hi! Plus I have a couple of G shocks lying around somewhere. ...
Buy which one you like. Life..
Is way too short for either or in a collection. I do own many.
