Automatics however, run off of movement. And that's what people who buy these watches appreciate - The brand, the build, the mechanics.

There are some thermocompensated quartz watches that are extremely accurate.
Having said that, a lot of swiss automatic watches use the same movement as well. You can get a <$1000 watch using the same ETA movement as a $7000 watch.
