Speaking of not needing batteries, here are two of my prized possessions-both run on kinetic electricity. Unfortunately the pictures don't do them justice, the CFL light bulb is giving off a yellow hue, and some are slightly out of focus.
Here's my first "nice" watch - it's a Seiko Kinetic Arctura Chronograph-

And my most recent addition (purchased it a couple weeks ago), my Seiko Velatura Kinetic Direct Drive Watch -
I absolutely love my new Velatura. The Direct Drive function is particularly neat, allowing you to manually charge the watch using the crown, but it also runs on kinetic electricity. The hand on the left side of the watch indicates how much power you've generated/how much power the watch has in reserve (gauged in hours-days-weeks and then one month).
Are there any other "watch guys" around? Mine definitely aren't Rolex or anything too special (cost enough for me), but I particularly like the technology along with a look.
