I recently bought a Casio G-Shock Waveceptor. Solar powered, atomic.

I don't have to wind it. I don't have to replace batteries. I don't have to
set it. It even changed to EST from EDT at the correct time.

Cost me $69. It's got big enough numbers for me to read, and has a
backlight.

I as much a cheap ******* as the next guy :) but I'm not gonna look a
gifted horse in the mouth. I bought a simple Timex for myself when I
was single, had a Real Rolex once (a gift from a middle-eastern friend
who asked for it back and pawned it while we were loosing our arse in
Vegas). The Timex still worked up to a few years ago, if I shake it,
it is one 'o them that you have to keep in motion to wind-up. The
housing(plated cast zinc I believe) got all corroded and wifey finally
threw it out w/o my knowledge.
