#1 · (I'm gonna get a lot of flak (sorry) on this one.)Tool watches. The first thing that name makes me think of is physical ruggedness, largely resistance to g-forces applied at any angle and any location on the watch. Of course, water resistance is important, as is the resistance to having the band ripped off (see ISO 6425 for many criteria). So, if g-force resistance is paramount, why doesn't Damasko (and SINN) make quartz movement watches?

I was happy to read through threads about the Black Bay. It peaked my interests in a brand I'd almost forgotten about having put the watch hobby away for some years. After reading the thread and finding an AD to look at them, when I saw the Black on Black, well, it was a "must have" purchase. The thread also helped really parse out the differences between the original and the 2.0. I went with the ETA based BB.

Hello. I own both quartz and automatic watches. Like (I suspect) many enthusiasts, however, I have an upper limit on how much I'm prepared to spend on a quartz watch. There are exceptions - for example, the Grand Seiko 9F movement, which is clearly an expertly engineered labour of love from the people who invented the quartz watch. It's purdy, ain't it?
