Serious watch thread

Why do they lose time? Why would I want something whose sole purpose is to tell time but it keeps losing it like a f*cking idiot.

Yes, they do, although it may be more accurate. Only GPS radio watches avoid this according to my 18 minutes research.

Even some of the best mechanical watches will lose or gain two seconds a day, whereas a cheap quartz watch loses only one second every 30 years.
Quartz watches are still made up of physical parts, though, so even at their most accurate, they are losing time. Modern watches are made with features that can help prevent the effects of temperature and gravity, but the Laws of Thermodynamics are not so easily bypassed.
Some high-end quartz watches do have jeweled movements that reduce friction and make for smoother functioning of the watch, it also causes the watch to lose less time making them more accurate.

Generally, digital watches are said to gain or lose around 20 seconds of time per month

I have a Citizen eco drive that receives the atomic clock radio signal every day. It's sick

That's the good shit, but they are only regional to their hemisphere in your case north america. If you went overseas there would be no signal and then where would you be? Back on shitwatch island
