Me too, it's a beauty.

[Ian Macdermott]

Yes

I really like my Grand Seiko, too. It's built as well as any stainless watch, and keeps perfect time. I actually use to set my mechanical watches when I choose one.

Wow what a nice first post!!! That's a really interesting bracelet on the PP Aquanaut you have there.

Welcome (officially) to the forum.

Thank you! It's the original jumbo aquanaut with both the strap and bracelet.

Nope but a G-Shock like Tim's is on my short list...

Hi,

Another "yes" here. A Rolex Oysterquartz Day-Date was my daily wearer for about six years, and an OQ Datejust for another two after that. Now all my remaining Rolexes are either manual wind or automatic, but my Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classique has a quartz movement, and I still wear it quite often.

Yes.
A Casio Pathfinder and, my latest acquisition, a tongue-in-cheek Casio A168 with the cheesy faux-gold plated look.

[DCheeta]

Here are my two favorites. This thread has inspired me to clean them up and put new batteries in them.

[Drudge]

I wasn't a fan of quartz watches until I acquired the Seiko MarineMaster and I must admit its one of the coolest watches I currently own:

[Tk52174]

I wear my G Shock when I'm at work.

[Rebel]

Yes I give my Tudor Submariner a break on Sunday with an El Cheapo SS purchased at at Air Force BX years ago. I give it a break on yard work and exercise with a Casio Illuminator.

[Widows Son]

Several. My only expensive one though is a vintage Omega Seamaster 200. Others include a Swiss Army, a Bulova dress watch, and a Universal LED. The wife wears a Wenger diver when working outside.

Gshock

I have been close to buying a Grand Seiko quartz, and a Seiko quartz diver, but ended up going with an automatic Seiko diver.

I have a few other cheap quartz watches I bought way before I really got into mechanical watches, but yea, they don't really see the light of day anymore.

[RationalPragmatist]

My Colt A74388 - I keep waiting for it to lose a second but it never does

[Rags]

My 3 Tags all quartz & I wear them in rotation with all my other watches.

[JUSTIFIED]

I have a quartz watch that I wear from time to time...

[Wcdhtwn]

I have a quartz but it's needed a battery for 6 years and I never seem to get that chore done. So, in short, no.

[hoppejung]

Just bought Grand Seiko quartz SBGX115. Love it.

[JoinerLuke]

Wife bought me a quartz Longines grand classique for our wedding day

Wearing it today - if there was a fire it's what I would rescue over my rolex despite the cash value difference

[Eva123]

Wearing Tissot PR100 ChronoAlarm. I have this watch for 16 years already and feel sentimental value to it. Also, I wear Tissot when I am in places where I am not 100% regarding safety (e.g. my visit to Manila).

[Nsx_23]

Seiko Tuna.

[Tique DDS]

My 1st "real watch" i bought was this Cartier Chronoscaph 21. Quartz movement. I bought this about 11yrs ago. Recently had it serviced with new bezel and new bracelet. Like new now. Now 4 Rolexes later this Cartier still holds a special place in my heart. And i still do wear it from time to time.

I have a SQ award watch made by Seiko that my Company gave me. Before I started down this road with Rolex, it was my daily wristwatch. I also had an Omega Automatic which was my only Swiss watch for 30 years until my first Rolex.

Except for battery issues, the SQ never failed - has never been serviced in 25 years - and is the lightest watch I still have.

Maybe one day I'll find an OQ DJ...

But I'd also add the Apple Watch to your question since it has a crystal temperature-control oscillator. Its job is to manage the vagaries of extreme temperatures, to compensate for drift and keep the Apple Watch time-accurate. Although it's usually operating in a paired mode with an iPhone - as a piece of hardware when not paired it's far more accurate as a timekeeping device than the iPhone. It's actually four times better.

So yes many of us wear Apple Watch!

My only non-Rolex and my only Quartz...and my only dog.

I just got this as a weird addition to my collection. Reissue Seiko Guigiaro-designed Quartz Chrono. I believe the originals were the first analog Quartz Chrono and very collectible. They only made 3,000 of these, black and silver. Silver is already sold out and selling for 2x MSRP. This is also known as the "Alien" watch, as the entire crew in that late 70's movie wore a version of Guigiaro Seiko, but Ripley wore this one in silver, so it's the most desirable. Very oddly cool piece and a must-have if you're into Italian sports cars of the era, many of which Guigiaro designed.

for electronic watch, only G-shock is comparable to Rolex in terms of stylish.

Maybe add 1 more android watch.

[Big Jay]

Absolutely. I wear a Marathon TSAR as my daily.

I like my G-shock but comparable to Rolex, stylish ?
A Grand Seiko quartz is a different story.
