beginners help please

[hot66]

After 15 years of having no watch I feel its about time ( no pun intended ) to get one.

I'm after a nice practical good looking watch. I love engineering etc etc so probabally have a preference for something mechanical / with soul .

At th emoment I am looking at the following

Traser H3 Classic Auto Pro

Traser H3 Classic Chrono BD Pro

Ollech & Wajs - Type M-4 Divers Watch

Maybe a Poljot Chrono although I'm concerned about waterproofness

Also Seiko automatics


My beginners question really relates to the different movements for these watches. The Traser Classic is a mechanical type ? The Chrono a battery one?

I'm assuming the mechanical type is the good old 'wind up' one etc

Does anyone have any comments on wether the battery type of watch is something you can 'bond with'

Any suggestions of other watches I shoul dmaybe look at?

sounds like you got it covered tbh...oh and most mechanicals are automatic nowadays, so they self-wind.
