My mother gave me a gold Omega when I graduated from college. It was a
beautiful watch, but heavy as hell and the time needed to be adjusted every few weeks. It was stolen from a hotel room and I ended up buying a substantially less expensive watch, that was rated from 300 M waterproof and that keep perfect time. The only time I had to adjust the time is when the battery went dead.

Best watch I ever owned was a $5.99 black plastic El Cheapo LCD from
7-11, bought back in the mid '80's. That sucker kept time to within a minute or so per year, and ran 8 years on the original battery. I still have it...
