I have one actually, mine is about 22 years old and works well and accurate.
Only problem is if I take it off too early in the evening and it hasn't been
shaken enough to keep going all night.  That and the fact I have trouble
reading the date even with my glasses on. :).

Have gone through a number of other watches but keep coming back to old
