I think the OP was talking about quality differences on watches than the utility of a watch itself. A 10$ watch does everything the $1000 watch does. The $990 are purely a fashion statement. The quartz being low quality doesn't affect the usability of the watch in anyway. If anything, the cheap digital watch with silicone straps is the e most comfortable and fuctional of all watches. This is unlike clothing, where the 300$ suit or jacket does often have genuinely better fit, comfort and lasts longer.
