I am a great admirer of Seiko's Spring Drive mechanical movement. But when it comes to quartz, I think Citizen's A660 quartz movement has a slight upper hand over Seiko 9F's.

I was sent a link to an excellent article on how the Seiko 9F quartz movement is design and I was impressed.

If anyone is interested, here is the link:

From the specs of the Citizen A660 quartz movement, it is definitely much better in accuracy. Being thermal compensated is a huge advantage too.

I would like to read more on this A660 calibre - time for me to google i think :D



Thanks for sharing!

A660 doesnt seem to garner a good feedback by the users. I think I read in some forums before.

Apparently, Citizen has up the ante with their HAQ. It has a eco drive version of the A660. Initial testing result is very promising......

Re: Seiko Quartz / Mechanical ?
I think the general population doesnt care if its quartz/mechanical



While I generally prefer handwind mechanicals over auto mechanicals over quartz



Quartz can be beautiful too

Re: Seiko Quartz / Mechanical ?
I think it boils down to the preference of the end user. As long as they are able to derive maximum satisfaction from the watch, I think whether the watch is quartz or mechanical would become a secondary issue.

In terms of time keeping, yes.

Kinetic uses a mechanical rotor to generate electric charge , which is then stored in a capacitor that powers basically a Quartz movement .

Re: Seiko Quartz / Mechanical ?
I read from somewhere that 80% of watch enthusiasts are collectors of mechanical or automatic movement watches.



But 80% of the watch buyers in the world are buying Quartz.



So, while we are raving about how our passion for automatic / mechnical watches in this humble forum, the fact still remains that more quartz watches are being sold by the thousands, before you can you say "Majulah Singapura".

Not again.

Y this kind of thread keep reviving.

NB!

Really no answer to it.

I spent few hundreds/thousands/millions on quartz or on auto also nobody cares..



Maybe I will open a thread and ask which hand you guys wear your watch?
