For me personally, I like the fact that they're all mechanical and self-contained. The general concept of time in general can be pretty thought-provoking itself. Think of the first person to invent a clock. In order to measure time, you need a consistent reference. With quartz, it's relatively simple with a crystal with an electric current from a battery that produces a consistent vibration. With a mechanical watch though, that consistent vibration needs to be created from basically nothing (just metal) and to me, that's a pretty cool engineering/artistic feat. Springs, gears, forks, etc. That's my personal thoughts at least. I have cheap mechanical watches, somewhat expensive quartz watches, expensive autos, cheap quartzes, and some solar powered/Ecodrive watches too. You can get the best of both worlds and get a new Spring Drive too.
Just buy and wear what you enjoy and appreciate it. Not everything has to be about engineering and art, sometimes you just need reliable time (gshock) and other times something that looks good (to you). As with a lot of things in life, other people won't notice or care nearly as much as you think they might.

Is it because you enjoy the thought of the design and work that went into the watch? Is it a prestige thing? Is there something I am missing? I actually ordered a seiko 5 automatic recently so maybe I will get it after owning one.
