Are there other battery free watches like the Citizen Eco-drive brand?

I know there are still some "winding watches" around and I do have one or two like that...and I like them. But I have also become fond of the Citizen eco-drive ones, that run on light. Does anyone know if there are other brands with this kind of battery-free technology? Barring that, are there any winding watches that you particularly like? Especially if they cost under $100.

Update:

BTW, I should say I am looking for a WOMAN'S watch

    Casio has a line, which includes compasses and barometers/altitude/depth and temp sensors.

    They last up to 6 months in the dark.

    Nice for sailing and diving.

    A bit bulky, for proper conspicuousness.

    I don't think that the eco-drive series runs on light the way you think it does. Watches like that and the Kinetic series have an offset weighted coil that depends on the motion of the wearer to wind it. Because the weight is not equally distributed, it always moves, as it turns, it winds a spring which powers the watch.
