Non-transistorized electric watches (like the Hamilton) are a huge pain to keep running, I'd avoid them. Later-generation transistorized electric watches aren't too bad, I've had pretty good luck with them. Cosmotrons are what I'd consider the best place to start, specifically the 7803a. Sweephand's blog is an excellent writeup. Serviceability of these has been pretty painless for me.

The Hungarian watchmakeranon has also posted some service stuff with Seiko Elnix, so they're probably fine too. I've been considering getting a Lip R27, which I've heard good things about. But start with cosmotrons on yahoo jp.

transistorized electric watches were very popular in the 60s as a transitional electric watch. It was easy for watch manufacturers to retrofit their existing movements to be electric; often just the balance and escapement had to be altered. This is a 36k bph Citizen Cosmotron electronic watch.
