I have had a few mechanical chronographs over the years, and I like them, but when I think I might need to use the chrono, I tend to strap on a Swatch.
Does anyone else have situations where quartz, or digital, suits them better?

The short answer is: no.

Actually, when climbing I do prefer the cheap Casio.
It hurts so much less the see the scratches ...

I'll wear a quartz when cruising thru the "Hood"... in case of a car jacking.

Never rule out a Seiko GS! I once happened to be able to repair a Seiko GS which Seiko Japan couldn't repair because they were out of parts.
