I'm not dissing the QUARTZ movement/accuracy or anything, just don't like the aspect of having to replace a battery. MAYBE if it was totally solar/light powered, I wouldn't mind so much.

I have had a solar powered casio for 15 years and haven't had to replace a battery. I promise a winding watch will need maintenance before mine does. They don't use batteries. They use capacitors. When is the last time you heard of a capacitor needed replacement?
