NishikantaThe WA Police love these because I've seen one wear it, whilst writing me a ticket last Saturday.

Elrick😂. That's ok mate. If we need a tritium quartz luminous and Smith and Wesson can have better cheaper alternative. At this price I expect an automatic.

NishikantaIf you were talking about a cheap Chinese made quartz I would agree, but I think there is a lot of misinformation about quartz watches. A Swiss made quartz (not Swiss Parts) should be worlds apart in quality from it's Chinese counterpart, hence the price. I am slowly coming around on this point of view.

TasselhoffTassellhoff. I am not talking about quality of quartz watches. Whether you Swiss or Japanese their accuracy is not much an issue and prettymuch last 3 years. These movements are available at fraction of cost of automatics. Hence a quartz crossing 300$ mark is not doing justice to consumers pocket.

NishikantaYou must be new to watch collecting, so let me enlighten you. First off, tritium tubes don't come cheap especially brighter ones and this watch comes with over a dozen of them. Secondly, this isn't using some garbage quartz movement you'd find inside of some $10 throw-away Walmart watch, there are actually different grades of quartz movements, some of which can come in watches costing well over 10 times this watch. There are also crappy mechanical movements too costing a fraction the price of a quality quartz movement, you can definitely get an auto movement in this watch and at this price point with all the above mentioned features, but who says it'll be any good? Lastly, it's AR sapphire, which, again, isn't cheap. FYI quartz watches can range from $10 to over several grand depending on what additional technology is inside it and yes the price is entirely justifiable. There are high accuracy quartz watches out there with temperature control that increases accuracy and their accuracy is an issue to hardcore watch collectors, even if that means being a few seconds more accurate a week which can add up. I recommend doing a little more research on what different type of quartz watches are out there before thinking that one can't be worth it's price.
