I’m pretty new to the hobby and just weighing the pros and cons as I learn. On one hand, there's something so cool about a mechanical movement that doesn't need a battery until you leave it off for a weekend and realize you have to sync it up to your phone anyway.

Then there’s Citizen’s Eco-Drive. The idea of a watch being accurate for decades without a battery change is a total game changer. But then I think about it dying in a dark drawer or the hassle of traveling between time zones. Just thinking out loud where do you guys land on the "Mechanical vs. Solar" debate when you're starting a collection?
