Me, I bought a Seiko 5. Mechanical, autowinding. Good 1970's technology
built to modern standards of quality. Only downside is that they are
more available in so called third world countries, where they amount to
a "working man's" watch rather than a fashion item. Cheap enough that I
can replace it rather than repair it when it finally quits. (under $100)

Bingo! The best investment I ever made. $28.50 at the Cu Chi, Vietnam
PX in January 1968. Buffed a scratch out of the crystal once. Still
has the original band. Steam technology; but just as tough.
