Whatchu folks who own autos think?

They can be incredibly fun, but you have to be willing to accept they aren't perfect. They aren't even perfectly linear, as their consistency will be affected throughout the day simply by how tight their springs are, their axial rotations, even the temperature. If you need precision, you should use quartz. It's proven technology and even a dirt cheap quartz will be accurate to seconds within years, far more accurate than autos costing thousands of dollars. Mechanical watches are more about the flavor, the sounds they make or the sights, depending how open the face is even watching the engine at work.
