The Grey NATO – 182 – Why Quartz Rocks

Can you believe that it’s been almost 100 episodes since we did our last quartz-themed show? As such, we figured it was high time to talk a bunch more about quartz and why we think it’s an essential part of any watch collection. In this episode, Jason and James chat about the “grab-n-go” appeal of quartz, why they think it sometimes gets overlooked by watch enthusiasts, and – from nerdy ana-digis to tough sports watches – they cover many of their favorite quartz-based watches.

Do you have a fav quartz watch that we missed? Be sure to let us know in the comments.
