I like Seiko's spring drive. It's an ingenious mix of mechanical and electric drive and it's quite accurate. My favourite part is the continuous motion of the seconds hand.
They're not very cheap, unfortunately.

I also really like Seiko's watch face design in general, even for the cheap quartz lines, and I'm saying this as a Swiss.

Yes, the spring drive is really neat. it was designed at the time when mechanical watches seemed "doomed" to quartz so neat historically as well.
The spring drives are "Grand Seiko", so tend to be 3k+ US.
