I have another answer; in fact I'm surprised nobody thought it so far. One of the big advantages of quartz is that it does not need winding. Given the much reminded congratulatory messages of "wear in good health"; or "wear in much good health", or some such variation (the key point of this presentation being health), it is far easier to ensure that this happens with a quartz watch. An automatic, not to mention a manual, needs physical human attention, wrist shaking, twisting, enough to prompt visits from a chiropractor. This means in bad health "must not wear nice watch" . A quartz appeals to the couch potato element in all of us, it can be worn at all times without concern. Wear a quartz in good and bad health - two for the price of one.
Gotta take exception to the wrist shaking comment....normal activity, even if it's just grabbing for the chips and that long-neck Bud should be enough to keep that baby wound...if not, there is something wrong with the watch.
Speaking of health, how about the adverse health situation of having your battery go dead and getting hit by a beer truck on the way to get it replaced!!!
