World time / UTC watches

Anybody have recommendations, experience with or reviews of world time / UTC watches? I'm looking for a modestly priced dual digital simultaneous readout of local and UTC. Do any models automatically adjust to the local time when updating the atomic clock signal?

I have the Citizen world timer watch. Has every time zone and is charged by light...IE no battery. Great watch.

I bought an Armitron dual time display watch for $25. It's been strong for 2 plus years now. I have to manually reset the local time in each time zone. The second time is always UTC.

I guess I'm too cheap from all my years on furlough and threats of furlough to justify getting a nice watch but "if it ain't broke, I ain't fixin it!"

Citizen Skyhawk A-T is a good one. Worth paying the extra few $ for the titanium version. So much lighter!

My wife bought me the steel version as a gift on ebay ... it's cheaper and has the same guts. I'm very happy with it (It was a nice gift from her!) ...

It amazes me how the Citizen automatically resets itself for daylight savings time. I have seen the Skyhawk for sale at Costco recently for around $250.
