It has a wet cell. When two different metals with different electronegativities are placed in water, they create a small current. This watch has a small reservoir that you fill up under a sink or wherever. Depending on the temperature and humidity you have to water it every few days or so.

Really have to say one of the best bangs for the buck is this Seiko 5 Sports, you can hand wind it which a lot of 5's don't feature, ceramic bezel, easy moving rotor, safety clasp, 100 meters water resistant, day date function and a uncommonly good time keeping, also own a datejust 2008 at the timekeeping of the seiko is no shit nearly identical!

I used the Rangeman when I was a soldier. The features were really cool and helpful. I used the sunrise/set feature to know when to start prepping my NVGs and the compass is actually pretty useful for plotting points on a map and shooting an azimuth.
But if it's just for fashion or casual use it's way too bulky and ugly as sin, so I can't really see it working.
