my watch is pretty sweet it updates the time 4 times a night with a satallite so it is absolutly accurate & it is charged by solar power so it never runs low on power.

I had a solar power watch. I really liked it. It has a recharagable battery so it could still function in the dark. One time while working overseas in the winter time, I spent so much time without power and with consistently overcast weather that the damn thing just flat out died. I tried to keep it under a lamp, and after a few hours it get going again, but it would only go for a couple of hours before dying again. I finally gave up on it for the remainder of my trip, put it back on right before catching my flight. While on the airplane I heard a weird grinding noise coming from beside me, took me a moment before I thought to look at my watch and discovered it was setting itself (it was analog digital, so the hands had to spin around fot it to set itself). Even though it spent a couple of weeks appearing completely dead and not displaying anything, it still retained the time.

And just to save Fink the trouble...
