I still don't see the appeal of mechanical watches when a battery will last as long as it does, or you can just get a solar. And aren't mechanicals less accurate as far as keeping time goes?

The automatic or mechanical movement is often preferred by the enthusiast because of the idea that a finely tuned mechanical device is keeping time. Strict accuracy is almost a secondary consideration.

In a digital age, a fine automatic represents traditional craftsmanship.
