I agree that expensive watches are mostly status symbols, but a quartz watch is accurate to about 15 seconds a month, which unless you're in the military is good enough accuracy, may I ask what you do day-to-day that requires you to have atomic-clock levels of time accuracy?
- eloisant 3y ago15 seconds a month is 3 minutes per year, and I don't want to bother having to fix my watch every few month. Simply to catch a train it's important to have a precise watch.
- guntherhermann 3y agoIn my country, 3 minutes is not enough difference to miss a train (it's probably been cancelled already ;)), if you live in Japan, I can understand. Comparing your watch to another timepiece is a fairly common occurence imo.
