Even cheap quartz movements tend to drift by ±10 seconds per year, so you'd only really set it at dst. Maybe you're thinking about automatic watches which can drift by several seconds per day, and stop if you don't use it for 24/48/X amount hours. I have to set my automatic quite frequently

It is usually 10-15s per month. And the annoying thing is you have to notice it and I prefer a watch that I don't have to double check.
