Oh trust me, I understand. I own mechanical watches because there is a definite romantic appeal to them.
However, I have had more than one seiko automatic die from vibration while riding motorcycles. Even high end watches like Rolexes can have -4/+8 seconds per day timekeeping error and be within “normal” tolerances.
Meanwhile, a cheap digital quartz watch will typically be accurate to within a few seconds a month, even before we consider that many of them can sync to atomic clocks. They’re also pretty much indestructible.
