Watch tech; Kinetic vs Ecodrive/solar vs battery

Disregarding cost, which is the most well rounded watch type to get?

Price/Performance = EcoDrive
The kenetic watches are too expensive.

The sun is kinetic, no?

What do you mean by "well-rounded"?

No the sun is nuclear, think of Ecodrive as having a nuclear powered watch without all the nasty radiation.

No, kinetic uses the motion of your arm to rotate a weight inside the watch which recharges it.

Why choose? Get all of them. My Eco-Drive duo has a battery, charges with sunlight and movement of my arm.
