Costco has a good selection of watches at various levels of quality and price. Plus if there is ever a problem or you don't like it after awhile they just give you your money back. I have a few nice watches but after my Timex Expedition of 20 years died I just don't seem to like wearing them anymore, or any type of jewelry for that matter. The only one I wear occasionally when we go out some place nice is my Mickey Mouse watch, I tell the wife it's okay because it gold with a brown strap so it looks expensive!

I think we have the same Mickey Mouse watch !

In my continued research I've found that automatics are not all that expensive. An automatic Seiko 5 can be had for a couple of hundred bucks from what Iv'e seen. Also, I'm very interested in these eco-drives now. There's a massive selection, holy crap. Will have to comb through them all to see if I find one that fits my bill. Thanks for that suggestion on the Citizen, guys!

eco drive. Lithium ion battery, never needs changing
Does that mean if I buy an electric car with Li-ion batteries, they will last forever?

Ya, I am doubting the hype very much as I have quite a bit of experience with Lithium Ion batteries in a plethora of electronic accessories :-) I'm sure it's just marketing fluff.

Having said that, if the battery cell lasts say, 10 years and costs $20 to replace, that's still cheaper than what it costs me to replace my current battery every 2-3 years..

Well, I'm biased as well. My self wind that I wear everyday will last a long time without batteries.

Might I recommend one of these? It has all the features you are looking for and does a bazillion other things too, including making posts on Canreef!!!
