Mechanical wristwatches are capable of good precision. I have an
inexpensive 40-year old Caravelle (Bulova) that with reasonable
adjustment can still keep to a few seconds per day. I never have
considered quartz watches to be better unless they can be adjusted,
which most cannot.

Well the best reason is that by our social convention it makes people
comfortable.
But that reason does have much logic behind it.
One month ago a 38-year old wristwatch resurfaced from a junk box and I
decided to return to it at least temporarily. It drifts some 30 seconds per
day, but sincerely I don't feel any particular discomfort with it.
