My G Shock is super reliable and will never need a battery. No way I'm swapping it out for some fragile piece of junk screen that mostly displays a clock that dies every few days.

Yup, some great g-shocks out there. I have dw5600. Awesome watch. Some day I will get the 5610.

I have had the same automatic (self winding) for over a decade. Wear it almost everyday, it gets beat up and used hard but still works great. And no batteries is nice.

Nice, what brand?

I like mechanical watches a lot although I don't like the service cost lol.

Well this one is more of a happy accident. It is a Fossil, and was a warranty replacement for a battery watch I bought. Have had not much luck with the battery Fossils but they seem to make a solid (or did not sure if they still do) automatics.

Sweet. I've heard good things in the past about 'em over on watchuseek forum.

This is peak "smart" watch for me: Sony-Ericsson MBW-100

Having something similar with modern technology the battery life would be much longer, I don't need a wrist phone.
