I think it's pretty ignorant to assume there are no good quality quartz watches out three.
I also think it's stupid to not get a watch you like simply because a mechanical verison is not available.
The Citizen Nighthawk comes to mind......way too cool for me not to own, and an unbelieveably well put together watch for the money.
I don't think that "there are not any good quality quartz watches out there", I am simply saying that, to me, I wouldn't spend high-end dollars on a quartz watch. Additionally, I think a $2 SpongeBob Squarepants quartz watch is a accurate and high quality a quartz movement as most others, be it TAG, Movado, Omega or other.
It is not stupid of me, (BTW, thank you very much), or anyone to not get a watch I like simply because a mechanical version (meaning - it is quartz) is not available...because I can't think of any quartz watch that I like. I can like the looks of a quartz watch dial, case, bracelet, whatever, but I do not like the watch...and that is my right as it is yours to like quartz watches.
The Citizen Nighthawk comes to your mind, because you like it. It does not come to my mind because it is quartz...kenetic, atomic, solar, battery...I don't care...a quartz is a quartz is a quartz!
That said, I do like the Seiko SNA281 my wife gave me one year for Christmas...because I have to!:D
