I'm not too far different. I have a Timex Easy Reader which has an
MSRP of $40, but I paid $19.95 at Target. Very large dial numerals with
an equally loud and satisfying tick. The Indiglo dial face is great,
too. Loses a few seconds a month so far.

An Omega Seamaster here. It was losing about a minute a month when it went
back to Switzerland for routine cleaning, etc. Now it is losing about 2
seconds a week.
And that is plenty good enough for a mechanical movement of modest cost.

My favorite watch is to stand outside on a quiet night and watch
the snow fall silently. It is a rare time-less moment.
Best wishes for the solstice celebration of your choice, or as
we used to say 60 years ago, Merry Christmas.

Hi Tom:
Seeing the mention of Waltham reminded me that I just posted a video
of a Waltham 8-Day clock running at:

in UV light with a piezo contact microphone.
Also a 1 sec time exposure.
Have Fun,
