I don't wear a mechanical watch to tell time. I have an iPhone that will do that. I wear mechanical watches for the nostalgia and as a statement. As a mechanical work of art. If my watch is off a couple minutes, I don't really care as there is nothing, I have to time that requires precision to the second. Good video.
I have my father's mechanical tissot seastar, and I didn't use them for a few years. I didn't knew that if you dont wind them once in a few weeks they will not work correctly ever again. The repair cost me a couple of hundreds dollars but they now running 3-5 minutes slow everyday. I keep them as a memory but personally I prefer something more reliable and modern. Quartz or digital.
I prefer mechanical watches, but must confess that at one point I did not want to pay the $1000 service fee to have my Omega Speedmaster Watch serviced and I just went out and bought the best digital watch that synchronized with the atomic clock to keep absulutely perfect time for ~$200. Since then I did get my Speedmaster serviced and wear it most of the time. Now I am looking to buy my first Rolex. I never liked the guady appearance of the Rolex Submariner or other diving watches, so I will most likely buy a new 40mm Air King that I like very much. I am happy to know that I will never sell my mechanical watches and will leave them to my children to hopefully cherish as well as I did.

I clicked the vid to say the same thing 🥲

I own two citezen tsuyosa, and i just like the movement of the mechanical watch, unlike the quartz
