I adore my G-Shock analog watch precisely because it is quartz + radio (atomic), but also because it charges the battery by solar.
These Junghans are so close to being perfect for me. I may indulge anyway, but I hate that battery watches never seem to get as much life out of the replacement batteries (why is that?) and would have preferred solar to keep it ticking longer.
Probably simply the quality of the replacement battery. I'm fairly sure that most outlets that replace watch batteries do not buy the good ones. Similarly, it is nigh on impossible to buy legit batteries on eBay if you're doing it yourself.
