[time-nuts] Best reason

[David McGaw]

Mechanical wristwatches are capable of good precision.  I have an 
inexpensive 40-year old Caravelle (Bulova) that with reasonable 
adjustment can still keep to a few seconds per day.  I never have 
considered quartz watches to be better unless they can be adjusted, 
which most cannot.
