Re: OT any watch recommendations?

I used Japanese multi-featured watches for years until I got tired of the watch band lugs breaking off. I decided to go back to a metal watch. I decided to look for one with a sapphire non-scratch crystal (like is used on supermarket checkout lines) and stainless body and quartz crystal oscillator. I wound up spending about $600 on a nice watch with blue face from Tag Heuer, seven years later it still looks brand new. It isn't atomic clock controlled, but I only have to adjust the time a couple of times a year when daylight time swaps, also we have several atomic wall clocks in our house so if accuracy of < 3 sec error is important I can look at one of those. In addition, I wonder if those atomic watches work overseas. Anyway, that's what I did, it was a dollarectomy compared to the Casio Databanks I used to buy at Sears but I've loved this watch ever since.

I bought a CASIO watch a couple of years ago, that had a solar powered
battery and a radio synchronization with atomic clock. It was actually
very nice, but now the battery loses its charge too fast. It is
basically unusable. That's so sad, as I was hoping that I bought a
watch to last me many years.

Anyway, I am looking for a new watch, my main concern is durability
and ability to maintain accurate time by this atomic clock feature. I
loved it. I do not want to pay money for prestige or looks, only for
function.

Any suggestions?

thanks
