Then you find out those "superior" multi thousands of dollars watches require regular service and tuning.
Literally a pointless pit for people with more money than they know what to do with to dump it in.
No one sane is arguing that an expensive mechanical watch is better at telling the time than a cheap quartz watch. If you want accuracy, don't buy a rolex.
Personally, I think a fancy watch is more comparable to buying an art piece. A painting is not "superior" just because it portraits its subject with more accuracy. Similarly, a watch is not "superior" if it tells the time with more accuracy.
I wear a watch because I like the watch. I like a mechanical watch with an open back so I can look at the gears turning inside. I like the attention to detail in the design. I like how the little hour indicators are polished to a mirror finish. For me, it is a piece of jewelry, that also tells the time.
