I was wondering in terms of ddating whether more expensive quartz watches are really worth it? I kind of assumed that a decent watches, quartz or not could potentially last a lifetime but I understand a quartz movement has a certain lifespan regardless of servicing, is that correct? I admit to not knowing what's involved in replacing the oold but I assume it's a case of replacing the inner workings of a watch. So in terms of expecting a watch to last 10, 20, 30 years+ am I expecting too much of a quartz or is an automatic the way to timwx />It stopped moving, I figured something must have gotten timexx loose inside, potentially the battery.
