Welcome to- The Fountain Pen Community!

I know watches, so I'll be gentle hearing you do not.
Some things to consider on your quest are as follows, things to keep in mind.
Forgive me if you already know this stuff as I am unsure how much you know or do not know.
Your ESQ by *Movado [*?], was it an ESQ Fusion? I am not very familiar with this model, just barely know the brand.

Movement types:
Quartz watches are generally more accurate than mechanical, usually within +/- a few seconds per month. They are "Set and forget" watches that provide the time.
Automatics or "self-winders" are a good choice if you wear one all of the time, many can be accurate to within +/- a few seconds per day. If you don't keep it on your wrist you'll need to invest in a watch-winder, or be forced to reset it and give it an initial wind each time you put it on.
Mechanical watches that are manually wound need winding at the same time each day to remain consistent and there are those too that can achieve +/- a few seconds per day accuracy.
Style & sizes:
There are dress watches, there are Diver-types, there are chronographs [stop-watches], round dials, square, rectangular, so many styles to choose from.
Knowing your wrist size would be helpful in helping you to choose a new watch, or a gently handled pre-loved watch.
For example, a wrist size over 7-1/2" you'd be best to buy something in the 40mm case size range or larger.
I really like Omega watches, especially the SeaMasters, but my wrist being 8" and their bracelets being only capable of @ 7-1/2" adjusted to full are too small for me unless an extension is available.

OK, I think you get the picture.
So what would be to your liking, or are you just wondering what's out there that someone may be willing to trade for pens & services and not too interested in any particular style/ movement type?
Do you need or prefer high water resistance?

The ESQ Fusion has a Swiss quartz chronograph movement, I believe, I do watch repairs on the side and have most tools to do so, just unable to do so for a living.
Why do you believe yours is beyond repair? Run over by a truck, perhaps?
If it's not completely destroyed, I may be able to do some repairs, you now have me curious why you think it's beyond hope.
If that's the watch of which you speak, it's also not a cheapy by any means [MSRP of @ $1,200!], well worth trying to fix if at all possible.

From what I can surmise by the reply by ESQ, the watch was just "used" quite heavily, often referred to as a "beater" in the industry.
I read nothing saying it's beyond repair, only that they feel it's better it be replaced than serviced from the extent of "wear & tear" they'd observed.
It's certainly not worth having a new crystal, ceramic/stainless bracelet/case/crown,.. all replaced as that would be like building an entire watch from scratch.

The G10 movement is pretty basic quartz by ETA of Switzerland [I believe], similar to the RHONDA Swiss quartz chronographs seen everywhere but these are used in the more high-end watches sold.
The last line that reads "...watch doesnt work. battery." leads me to believe the movement may still be OK, that all it needs is a battery replacement and that I can do very easily!

As for all the rest, if you can live with the chipped crystal and ceramic bracelet, then I can most likely revive your watch to work again, breath new life into it by installing an Energize bunny, and thus once again keep time.
I live in NE Florida and if you'd like me to replace the battery and see if I can get it running I'd be happy to do so, your cost for battery & return shipping alone.
Chase-Durer uses this same movement in a few of their watches, like the Meteor that can still be bought NIB for @ $300, but seeing you're trying to get a watch in trade for pens/service I don't suppose that matters.
I think you'd be better off getting a new Tag-Heuer with a Sapphire crystal, sounds like yours may be a mineral quartz crystal but I'm not sure [with all the chips & scratches described as sapphire is generally far more scratch-resistant].
EDIT: OUCH! I just realized that Site is for "Replicas"! Dang, I don't do "replicas" as to me they hurt the industry and are just another name for "counterfeits". my bad and my apologies for that improper Link. I was wondering how they could sell a Tag-Heuer for under $100, totally missed it until I went back and took a second glance. Sorry, I've removed the Link as not to support the counterfeit trade.
I'd found a NIB Indy 500 T-H for under $100 here [Link removed], says Member price whatever that means.

I'm trying to find out what battery the G10.711 takes, most likely something easy for me to find.
Shouldn't cost more than @ $5 for a replacement battery and I can pop one in in just minutes if that's all it needs.
From what I've found, I think this is the battery you'll need, probably available at places near you like CVS stores or Wal-Mart.
1.55 V Battery, No. 394, SR 936 SW.
Or a Seiko and Energizer battery cross-reference as follows...
SR936SW/SR936W Silver Oxide
394 Silver Oxide

Thanks Scott!

Yeah, I find myself here pretty often. I love it here!
As you know, guys who like pen do like watches.

I have a couple of good timepieces.
Some knives, but more utility type
Leatherman Micro/Micra, etc...


Dennis!

Yeah, maybe a forum here about "Other hobbies", or just a working title!

We could be the one all encompassing juggernaut collectibles forum in the world bwahahahahahaahahahahaha

er uh, yeah that'd be neat.

"Pointy and Ticky Things," perhaps?

DWL,
A little food for thought. I am the kinda guy who can literally kill a Timex in less than 24 hours, they simply die. After a day or so, they come back to life once they are off of my wrist. Seikos fare no better with me. Exasperated I looked in to more expensive (quality?) watches and discovered Tag Heuer. I liked 'em. They were guarenteed to function for life of the owner. Sounded good.
That was 25 years ago and I am still wearing it! I have sent it in to the factory twice in that time to have the battery replaced. It does not require winding, or much of anything else. It is the "Mens Aquaracer" and has a "sapphire" crystal. I have worn it through 10 years as an aerospace mechanic / inspector, a decade of nursing and bodyart.... some jobs were concurrant...Im not THAT old... but the point is, this watch has been through solvents ( methylethylketone, methylisobutylketone, alcohol, gasoline, cavicide, wavicide, at least one shower a day for twentyfive years and more bangs , bumps and whacks than any watch should ever face.... and there is not one single, solitary, minute scratch on the face. The case barely shows wear. The bracelet has been replaced two times , not too bad eh?
