Actually, I only have one nice watch, which is this one .....

That is a beauty

I have a Sekonda which is 22 years old not changed the strap once and battery changes every 3 years.

I bought an expensive one and have to wear it on special occasions but not expensive that I have to insure it.

I need to look into a sekunda never heard of them. Today I’m wearing my Soviet Vostok again. It’s a 45mm watch so it’s a bit too big but it really grew on me. I have a second one I picked up for five bucks as these things are like AK-47 very easy to fix if you have the parts

I would not mind a kinetic watch saves on getting a battery?

Master look at seiko 5 or any seiko automatic. Automatic watches are where it’s at. Powered by the movement of your hand. Seiko makes some beautiful ones for thousands but you can get a seiko 5 for 40-100 dollars. Automatic watches are true workmanship. Nothing wrong with quartz, kinectic, solar etc but you should have at least one solid automatic. Since we are going in the cheaper realm the power reserve will probably be 24-48 hours meaning power will run out and you will need to reset it if you haven’t worn it in that long. The top automatics have power reserves in weeks. I think hubolt makes an automatic that will run for three weeks after you take it off which is quite amazing craftsmanship. I think my longest power reserved is 50 or so hours but I’m into vintage watches.
