Default OT any watch recommendations?

I bought a CASIO watch a couple of years ago, that had a solar powered
battery and a radio synchronization with atomic clock. It was actually
very nice, but now the battery loses its charge too fast. It is
basically unusable. That's so sad, as I was hoping that I bought a
watch to last me many years.

Anyway, I am looking for a new watch, my main concern is durability
and ability to maintain accurate time by this atomic clock feature. I
loved it. I do not want to pay money for prestige or looks, only for
function.

Any suggestions?

thanks

My son gave me a Citizen Eco-Drive a couple of Christmases ago. He has
one too, a couple of years older than mine. Both seem to be holding up
well. Mine is much more watch than I would have bought, but I wouldn't
go back to a lesser watch now. It is light, extremely thin, never needs
a battery, has no scratches on the crystal (even though I wear it while
working) and gains about five seconds per month. No radio
synchronization, but I don't mind resetting it once a month.
