I only have this one pocket watch I picked up awhile back and the main appeal was it was made in South Bend In and that’s where I call home and will be going back once I retire

Usually when you get an older watch like that they need to be overhauled which means being dismantled, cleaned and oiled. Often times a tad amount of oil on the escapement will get it running again. Most modern watches have no exposed pivots. They are sealed within the jewels so the cap jewel has to be removed and the oil goes there.
What type oil did you use? They have synthetic oil specific to watches. Using the wrong kind can damage a watch in the long term.

Casio g shock, daily wear, been through A LOT.
Auto calendar, date, day of the week, summer time / winter time.
Accurate, radio controlled, synchronizes time every day.
Practical and durable. Almost barbaric compared to the many others in here. hehe.
yep, that's the good stuff. 9010/2.
My watches are nothing super special, but I love Bulova, and have enough that I can choose a watch to go with whatever I'm wearing that day.
Bulova has been doing some neat things lately with redo's of some of their iconic watches. They have their digital and the "Devil Diver" and the military. If you check out Eboy you can find their Accuswiss which were discontinued years ago but they are watches meant to sell for a grand and can be found for $300.
