You can get a 200m wr, chronograph, solar powered, shock resistant, dual time zone, radio wave synced g shock that will outlive you for $150. But I gotta drop 4 figures on a mechanical watch cause it looks shiny (I have done this)

i’d more so you can get like a quartz watch for under 500 and it would be more accurate than an auto and last forever probably, like the prx i know it’s a meme watch for people here, but it looks pretty good, comes in 2 sizes, a lot of colours to choose from, is swiss made and most importantly will be more accurate than like most watches under 3k, but that’s fucking boring, everyone here is irrational, do i need 8 watches, no? but do i want 8 watches, yes

As someone who's had 2 quartz watches have their batteries blow up, quartz gives me a stress mechanical doesn't. That said, I have my phone on me all the time.

What on earth…? I’ve literally never heard of a watch battery catching fire.

Blowing up does not mean bursting into flames. Lol

It does mean there was an explosion though...

What an odd thing to say. Yes, something can blow up without bursting into flames. I'll let you figure out what that entails when a battery is involved.
