I don't often wear a quartz, but when I do, I wear my Omega.

Stay thirsty my friends.

Haven't worn one since I got into mechanical watches but I won't object to a Grand Seiko Q or an Apple Watch if the occasion arises.

Yes -- Cartier, Hermes, Movado, Michelle and Apple quartz watches are in my collection but are worn less often than Rolex.

Often. I used to participate in triathlon and still wear a Timex Ironman in the pool and gym. I also wear a quartz watch when I golf and occasionally to work.

Yes, this......

The 'OTHER" Moon watch as worn on the moon by Dave Scott on Apollo 15.

Bulova UHF movement, accurate to within a couple of seconds A YEAR! It's incredible. The hands move so smooth you'd think it was an auto.

The original recently sold at auction for $1.63m.....that's $1.4m MORE than Ron Evans Rolex GMT sold for that went to the moon on Apollo 17!

It's a beautiful watch. I love it.

I wear this Seiko quite a bit when I'm working with my hands. Rugged as hell and super accurate.

I don't currently own any. But there is one I wish I never let go. If I still had it, I'd wear it for sure.

That is a sharp looking watch!

What is the lug width on it?

It is a great watch. I really enjoy mine. Very legible dial and comfortable.

It's 20mm Lug Width in accordance with the official NASA design spec for the velcro strap used to wrap it around the outside of the EVA suit, which was 20mm.

You can buy them here,

https://www.seb12100030.com

but he's sold out temporarily.....

Incidentally, the watch looks a lot better in the flesh as it has a multilayered dial which photographs simply don't show. The face has a beautiful 3D effect.

One of my earliest of watches PRC200 is the only quartz left in my collection, never gets any wrist time but has a lot sentimental value to it

Still have a G-Shock that I will throw on if doing something where I need to know the time but could involve me and/or the watch getting dirty, paint on it, greasy, damaged, etc...

Still own an old Tag Kirium but that hardly ever sees the light of day, once a year at best. That's usually when it goes in for a new battery ;)

I have an old Tissot PR100 that I wear sometimes, especially now that my Rolex Datejust is in the shop. Currently my Tudor Black Bay (ETA) is running almost as accurately as the quartz Tissot. I'm actually interested in getting a 9F Quartz Grand Seiko (although I'd rather have the Spring Drive, my DJ and BBB exhausted my finances, and the accuracy of the Grand Seiko fascinates me.

My current favorite quartz is a Shinola moonphase Runwell. Really nice alligator band and has the heft of mechanical watch. Also occasionally wear an Oscar Waldan, Breitling, Movado or Citizen

I don't have one that hasn't long since stopped running due to need for batteries. BTW; the original Bond would likely get worn if it were mine. I have the automatic version.

Timex Ironman when training. I have Garmin gps watches, but never use them for time. Just tracking mileage, speed, HR, etc.

Wait I take that back, I do wear my Garmin Swim for swimming work outs although it is strictly digital. I guess that counts. It tracks laps and lap times, etc. I guess I was thinking of Analog Qz watches only.

Duh, seems I answered the same back in July. At least I'm consistent.

My first swiss watch that I bought in 1993 was a quartz Tag Heuer 2000 series diver.

I still have it today and very occasionally it gets some wrist time.

In fact it was this watch that kick-started my watch collecting habit which now includes: Sub C Date, OP, Omega Speedmaster and Tudor Prince. I've also had an Omega Seamaster and an Oris Big Crown pointer date. Quite fancy a Tudor Black Bay Red next....
