Excellent post Otis, done a bit on the the Citizen quartz watches a bit back,and on the Seiko +- 5 secs a year,but they claimed with a bit of adjusting 2 seconds a year was possible.But the price turned a lot of people off including the Japanese.Now myself have great respect for the Seiko Grand fantastic mechanical movement and as good as any from the swiss/European brands But when you think of mechanical watches today and quite a few lower market quartz watches.Are not as accurate as a watch made almost 300 years ago by John Harrison,sort of puts a different perspective on things.But I still think the quartz technology,today lies firmly in the Japanese hands and respect there quartz watch knowhow in every way.
