A "cheap" one, I paid about $130, I think, but it was awhile ago. I don't know, I think it's just a standard battery powered quartz. It's also a bit heavier than the better Seikos, but I've had zero durability issues. I know it has a 5 year warranty.

Oh and do Quartz movement watches make a faint 'tick tick' sound at all? That would drive me insane. If so, are there any watches that don't?
Stay the heck away from Seiko Kinetic watches.. I like the way that mine looks and loved the gimmick but found that the watch always ran out of "human fuel".. OK, so I lead a pretty inactive life, but I find "charging" the watch (shaking it in a circular motion for around 2 minutes!) every morning REALLY annoying.. Maybe the newer ones have battery back up or something.. really, really, really annoying if you ask me.. I'm currently using a $60 guess watch.. Not very classy but does the job.. $300 is a lot of money to spend for something sub-luxury.. Seiko, Citizen, Timex, etc. etc. all work equally well (yes, timex makes pretty reliable time pieces).. Just stick to your own tastes - go to a store and write down the model numbers of a few watches that you like and then search online for a better price.. Fossil is supposed to be pretty decent but both my GF and I have had the straps break on us (while I'm a portly fellow my gf is small and thin)..
u have to get the seiko perpetual calendar ones..those will retain the time and date.
the first generation kinetic watches have those problems. i have one of those, but it is awesome. i get so many compliments on my watch

Do you know what works really good for keeping them from running down like that?
