I did like the pun. However I'm going to argue with you.
You can pick up a good mechanical Seiko watch with a tried and tested automatic movement for $100. When properly adjusted these can keep good time and do not need batteries. They stay wound simply by wearing them.
They have a sweep second hand (not a "tick-tick" 1hz hand like quartz watches). There is no need to change a battery.
There is a lot of practical utility in that. In addition watches can be beautiful objects and a pleasure to wear.
