Yeah, but my fingers don't get sore from winding.....can't imagine anyone still winding a watch Ever heard of self-winding, also called "automatic", watches? They were invented - in Switzerland - ages ago. My Rolex handles itself and is as I indicated being "charged" by my arm movements at any time. Now, here a tip for you: For those who like the Rolex technology but like you don't want to show off (!), the very same product is also available as a budget version under band name of "Tudor" :) Traveling to Geneva to bring home a (German made) coo-coo clock and a cork screw, amazing achievement and a true sign of style indeed! /Taro

I've got a Casio G-shock that I've had for 30 years. The cleverly recessed bezel has not a scratch on it, and it keeps perfect time. I'm on the seventh band, the batteries last 10 years. It's indestructible. History[edit] The first G-Shock, the Casio DW-5000C, was designed in 1983 by an engineer working for Casio named Kikuo Ibe. It was designed to have a 10 year battery life, be water resistant to 10 bar, and survive a 10m fall onto a hard surface.
