Any seiko really

I have an old clock in my cottage. I got it years ago from a previous cottage I renovated. When I found it, the glass had broken so I just treated it as a piece of junk. I renovated that first cottage over a winter and left the clock there to freeze. I put in an AA battery and forgot about it. It kept time great and didn't lose time .... for about two years on the same battery!

The dammed thing outlasted every other wall clock I owned. So I kept it, removed the broken glass and just left it like that.

After about 15 years I still have it in my cottage and it freezes and thaws with the northern Canadian weather. And I've only ever changed the battery with the same basic energizer alkaline battery maybe four times!

I've never found a comparable clock anywhere. Every new clock I've ever bought either fail prematurely or I am constantly changing batteries every two or three months.

So far I've junked about a dozen new clocks because they stopped working while this old cottage clock just keeps ticking reliably.

I'm never getting rid of my cottage clock.

I've been using the Casio W800 series (W800-H currently) for the past 12+ years. This is my 3rd watch, only because I simply lost the first two. However, it's about the 6th strap, so it's like the AK's strap.
