tldr; Solar quartz perfected. Never change a battery again. Huge range from $100-$1000. Set it and forget it for decades.

Best praise vs top criticism for Citizen Eco-Drive
“Find a cheaper thing to research. Turn around now. It’s not too late. If your citizen is eco drive, it’s probably better than anything else you can buy already. The rest of watchdom is a literal financial sinkhole run by very very very very good marketing people.”
“A new Eco-Drive has the latest battery technology and will be okay as long as you avoid putting in the dark for months. Wear it and let it get that sunlight. Super Titanium does work at avoiding most daily wear scratches.”
