thats not really true. I used to believe that changing a movement = getting a new watch.
today a ETA 2824 (top grade) is at US$118
a miyota 8215 is just US$37. considering the watch cost US$211, U wouldn't wanna throw it out.

Superluminova glows brightly when its charges, but it get dimmer with time.
I don't look at my time immed when I go from daylight to total darkness, usually its after sometime. hard to see anytime by that time.
try that in a theater after 1hr into the show/movie.
With age, the glow just isn't there. its also hard to find qualified ppl to do a good relume job.

it would be easier if U post links to those watches.
I tried to google but they are not showing up. only found the casio watch, the casio the dial look messy to me. Seiko and Casio don't have to worry about reliability. quartz watch like these feel like wearing a mini PC. maybe u can give us a break down of the full functions and the cost.
