"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. "

That is why I went with the solar watch.  I got tired of watch batteries 
dieing in less than a year.  I like analog dials.  The rummer is that as 
analog watches age, the lubricants evap/deteriorate causing greater 
strain on the "motor" and that is why batteries don't last in older 
watches compared to newer. Or is it that watch batteries aren't as good 
as they used to be?

I periodically look for a reasonably priced, good, self winding 
mechanical watch...but do I really need another?
