The first and second items are true enough (although I don't know how much I care about perfect time: as long as I don't have to fiddle with it more than once a month, I don't really care), but the last need not be true. My mechanical watch is not noticeably heavier than a quartz watch.
And it looks a lot nicer than that Casio digital. One can see just as well through Birth Control Goggles (e.g. http://media.oregonlive.com/oregonatwar/photo/10469092-large...) as through wireframes, but the latter looks a lot nicer. Function is not the only important thing: form matters too.
