You folks with your fancy watches!
I have an inexpensive Timex Expedition that I have had for about 3 years
now - the one before it lasted over 5 years. The only time I have to
set it is the changes between standard and daylight saving time.
It is quite accurate - I check it against WWV about once a month and it
has never been off by more than 2 seconds. I replace it when the
battery dies or the plating on the edges of the back wears off.
My Seiko sits in the drawer and shows the correct time twice a day:-) .
The battery needs to be replaced every 4 to 6 months - it looks nice,
but I don't use it because of the battery life.

I have the Casio Waveceptor which sync's with WWV each night as well.
But changing the time zone when I travel is less than intuitive so I
have to keep instructions with me. The GPS know where you are and the
time zone changes automatically.
I did notice that on the first cruise we took it lost a lot of time.
The second one it worked fine. Once out of the US, WWV can be pretty
hard to get.

I have had a Casio Triple Sensor Pathfinder which is solar powered,
has time in any zone, timer, stop watch, 4 alarms, day, date, moon
phase, tides, compass, barometric pressure, altitude and maybe some
other things, and syncs to WWV each night, so it has been right on
the money ever since I bought it some years ago.
