I have a Ronda in my Zodiac ZMX-1, and I have to say this, 6 years battery lifespam and amazing accuracy... hard to find a fault on the movement

Good point eddiea. If I could find it in a watch that had the style I like I would give it a try. The battery life you mention is a great selling point to me as well. As of yet I don't think I have own something with a Ronda movement in it.
