I think that Swatch looks cool.

I have a Swatch that I bought in Switzerland in 1998..  It's an inexpensive quartz watch with a battery (not a mechanical) and was much less expensive than that Swatch there.  I have it packed in a box somewhere, and I've been meaning to find it..  And I don't think I've replaced the battery in it since it was new.
