I don't have any expensive watches, but I do have one that is reliable. Just an unremarkable Casio, with a battery that just won't quit. It says 10 year battery. That wouldn't even begin to say how long this thing has lasted.
My late Dad knew I used to keep a good watch. He saw me carry this black Casio and said, "Why don't you get a good watch?" I said it kept perfect time with zero maintenance. Sounded like a good watch to me. After this one finally rolls over and floats to the top of the tank, I might not buy another. Probably just use a cell phone for a watch. Till then, this is my EDC. Best wishes. Gary (IMR)
