    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.
