No probably about it.

Mechanical watches lose 10-15 secs per day which declines as they get older or aren't serviced, a $40 Casio might miss 30 secs per month, never needs servicing other than a battery change.

Mechanical watches are no longer utility items, they are fashion items that happen to tell time.
