Mechanical watches require professional servicing every 5-7 years to clean and oil the movement, which can be expensive. Quartz watches simply need cheap battery replacements.
Common Failure Modes
Water ingress from unsealed crowns and shattered crystals are the most common fatal damage. Mechanical movements will simply stop keeping accurate time as lubricants dry up.
Decide between quartz (accurate, low maintenance) or mechanical (craftsmanship, sweeping hand, requires servicing). Match the case diameter to your wrist size to avoid looking disproportionate.
A well-maintained mechanical or quartz watch can easily last a lifetime and be passed down through generations. Smartwatches, however, are limited by battery degradation.
