Swatch group owns some excellent watchmakers. Omega, Breguet, Glashutte, a couple other mid to high tier boutique manufacturers.
If you're talking about the plastic strap deparment store crap....well, go fuck yourself.

so who wants to explain to me why my Timex watch is inadequate and what the benefit of the expensive ones is? unless it is just vanity, in which case, carry on 
my approach is almost entirely functional... i.e. I really only care about my watch's ability to tell the time, so long as it is not inappropriately ugly... and I have minimal complaints about the functionality of my Timex... (I prefer old school analog watches and typically wear them for a decade plus...)

I own ZERO fancy watches...but I get why someone would go gaga over the craftsmanship, precision and aesthetics.
For others, it's a way to reveal status/wealth, which reeks of insecurity to me.

The main difference for pure functionality? A well built stainless steel cased, sapphire domed dive watch will be able to take an epic shit kicking for decades. You'll be on your 10th timex while your swiss or japanese dive watch will be more or less as good as new minus some marking on the band and case.
For the rest of it? Comes down to whether or not you're fascinated with watchmaking craftsmanship. If you're not, stick with quartz (not a damn thing wrong with a well built quartz watch). If you are, there's something fun about seeing a well finished movement behind a display caseback.
It's little different than most other arguments though. What does any consumer good of higher quality provide that it's cheaper counterpart doesn't? Usually higher initial quality (asthetic and otherwise), durability, longevity, etc. It's entirely possible to buy a good quartz dive/sport watch for well under $1000 that you would have for decades and if cared for, would outlast you.
