Swiss Army watches are very accurate and inexpensive.

I've had Citizen Eco Drive, and Citizen Navihawk as well. My favorite beater watch is a cheap Casio that I got at Target. But when the battery died, I went and got a Casio G-shock. As an analog watch guy, the switch to digital was not too bad. And the G-shock is built like a tank.

If you are looking for a watch that doesn't vary from true time, I would stick with quartz watches or something that syncs with the atomic clock. For the most part a quartz should keep very, very good time, especially compared to mechanical watches. Solar and eco watches should as well since they are electronic/quartz, not mechanical.

I wore $20 digital Casio watches for a very long time because I work with tools and tend to be very hard on watches. They were waterproof and kept perfect time but as I approached 50 yrs old the LCD got hard to read. My wife bought me a Citizen Eco-Drive dive watch about 8 yrs ago and it looks good and keeps perfect time. It has been depth tested to 143' while diving wrecks in Micronesia, slammed into concrete and jammed into tight engine compartments and never flinched. A lot of watch for <$200 I'd say. I also have a Swiss Wenger party watch and it keeps fair time and needs a battery every year. I don't wear it.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I am on the lookout now for a Citizen Eco-Drive. I have a couple of Casios already. Nice looking watches and are quite dependable. They just go through batteries though.
