Im considering purchase of a Hamilton Pulsomatic. What is the expected "lifespan" on a watch of this sort? Specifically, Im somewhat skeptical of spending ~$1000 for a digital watch.... Being somewhat new to watch collecting/purchasing, how long would you expect a well-kept watch of this sort last?

Short answer is 40 years and counting, which is how long these sorts of watches have existed. At lest there are some in this thread that are that old.

No,it has an automatic movement but the time is calculated and displayed digitaly. The base movement to say so is not quartz is a mechanical movement. So the watch is considered to be automatic.
It's not same to a kinetic movement.

Technically it is called a auto quartz, like the Omegamatic back in the '90s. It has a roter, but the time base is a quartz module and the display is LCD, so more similar than different than the watches I pointed out in the thread I linked to. I'll quote the review of the watch in Ablogtoread. " Inside the Hamilton Pulsomatic is the Calibre H1970 automatically generated quartz movement" . Here is the article Hamilton Pulsomatic Watch For 2010.
So Cypher is correct, I was mistaken is using the term kinetic. However it is quartz watch.
