I like quartz, plan to buy more. I currently have about 60 watches. About 2/3 are quartz. I usually buy based on style/appearance, build quality, and price. Choice of movement comes in far behind those factors. (Unless it's hand wind. Hand wind is better than automatic or quartz, IMO)
I like to own a wide variety of watch styles. I have a few that are $1000+. But most are far, far less. There are some that I enjoy owning even if I will rarely wear them (a few low cost ones, some below $10). There are 20-30 low cost or vintage ones might be worn once a year, often for just a few hours or half a day. Most of those are quartz.
But I also have some expensive quartz watches. (anything over about $300 is expensive to me). I have some quartz Tag Heuer, Omega, Victorinox, and others that I regard as truly great watches.
Here are a some of the quartz ones I like most. There are some that have specific features of the quartz movement that are key factors in my choice of that watch. The independent hour hand setting feature of the Tag and Omega are examples.
You don't like quartz? Come on. You know you are just jealous of all the great quartz models to choose from...
