    Therefore I feel the technology will not meet my requirements....
    I'll stick with the old, tried and proven, mechanical.....

    I find mechanical watches far more interesting than any quartz, so my three Rolexes will always be my first loves, but I enjoy a variety of watches and not all are available in mechanical so I've had to compromise some. While I don't find quartzes as fascinating, I do appreciate their convenience.

    The best of both worlds, I suppose.

    If you're going to go quartz solar is a great option.
