What kind of watch do you carry for EDC. I carry a cheap skmei dual time watch thats kinda junk but works for me. (pics would be nice).
 
Alternate between 2 eco-drives, I hope I don't have to replace them for a long time I am tired of replacing watches every few months as that was the life expectancy of the cheap watches I use to buy.
 
Well, I CARRY a Charles-Hubert Paris mechanical pocket watch... But I wear a G-shock. ;)

They stay healthier if you give them fairly continuous exposure to light. Citizen publishes that they have long power reserve, implying that you could put them in a drawer and they would be running when you took them out weeks later, but this is harmful to them and will reduce the life of their power cells. If you alternate between 2 different watches then one or the other will be sitting around a lot not being worn. I've owned 4 different ones, still have the last one, and I had battery problems with the first three.
 
If I am going somewhere nice I carry an Omega pocket watch my brother in law gave me. I was his aunts brothers watch ,or something like that. Built in 1936 ,the main spring broke last year so I gotta take it in.
