I've been wearing my Eco-Drive SKYHAWK for a couple of years by now, never would've thought to see the likes of it appearing on Engadget though. Must be a slow day for news today :D]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/I am wearing a Eco-Drive for YEARS! I think they are at least 10 years old!
I have a radio-controlled Eco-Drive watch, it's always on time (at least 1000km around Frankfurt, Germany) and I never had problems with power outages.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/

In any case, not needing a battery is ancient technology, just look at a good automatic watch.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/
AT LAST! We've caught up with those infamous techno wizards -> TRAIN CONDUCTORS of the late 1800's and their batteryless watches !]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/

For that matter, I've got a number of handwind mechanical watches that also work beautifully without ever having to replace batteries. Spending ten seconds winding your watch in the morning quickly becomes second nature, like reaching for your car keys on the way out the door.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/10/citizens-eco-drive-watch-never-needs-a-battery/Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM
