After owning a reasonable number of both auto and quartz watches I've come to the conclusion that, for me, the power supply of the watch isn't much of a concern. I'm more interested in the design, style and wearability of the watch. If it strikes the right chords in those areas I'm a happy guy.

I echo this sentiment. In addition, as far as mechanicals go, i've got one manual wind (nothing fancy) that has given me a soft spot for manual winds -its simplicity compared to an automatic has a certain charm for me.
