I’ve recently been talking to a friend who’s interested in watches and i’ve been thinking about getting a watch and this Seiko caught my eye, but I’ve been told to look for a mechanical watch instead of a quartz one, and i’m looking for one similar to this. Would prefer for it to be black
Oh hey, is that one of the SSB watches? I have one - the pushers for the chronograph are really satisfying. I'd love to see them do one with a 30 minute subdial instead of 60. It's cool that they're available with interesting dials.
I do also have a mechanical watch. Might get it a display caseback...
It really comes down to what you want. It's really hard to make an objective argument for a mechanical watch but it's cool that something with a balance wheel to regulate the timing can be so accurate. (All but the cheapest quartz watches are better, but still.) Generally enthusiasts are more interested in mechanical. The watches I own to do jobs are all quartz though. One's even a smartwatch.
