    My casio rangeman is solar powered and it sets itself from WWV. 13 years I've never set it wound it or replaced a battery and it is zero seconds off

    There’s just something about a mechanical watch that does it for me. Quartz is far more accurate over longer periods without a doubt.

    Funny this is brought up. I just sold my Seiko 5 automatic because of accuracy. I have several watches I want to wear and the fact that it would lose power and time kinda annoyed me. Lol. I loved the watch but would rather have one that kept accurate time. A Bulova Precisionist will be a future watch because it's a smooth sweeping quartz. But my next watch will be a Casio Oceanus OCW-T150-2AJF. Solar, titanium and gets a radio signal from the atomic clock.

    I use a free app on the phone. Not sure how well it works in comparison to a real timegrapher but it appears to be consistent between watches and how it runs on the wrist.

    It's always a cool feeling when a good watch has been set to the network time and the second hand sweeps past 12 almost perfectly with your phone after it's been running for a good while.

    I would have to say Citizen and Casio are about the best quartz options for watches.

    Found a decent Chinese knock off Speedmaster that’s nice enough to wear but not be worried about $6000 getting banged into stuff.

    Another cheap watch, this one designed to look similar to a Blancpain 50 Fathoms but not cost $20k. It uses the common Seiko NH35/38 movement so it should be reliable and accurate and has better lume than some more expensive watches I own. Came with a black nylon nato strap but I dislike the extra thickness with the layer under the watch body and swapped this rubber strap in from the parts bin.
