Casio's g-shock line of watches should have something that matches your needs. Or perhaps a Casio Protrek PRW 2500. These watches also have solar cells so the batteries last for ages.

#12I have a Hamilton Pulsomatic [0] in my collection and for geekiness it is pretty high up the tree. A digital watch that you don’t need batteries for is very nice and it gets a huge amount of (male) attention. As an aside I have never had a woman ever comment on any of my watches - it really is a male thing. 0. https://shop.hamiltonwatch.com/hamilton-collection/american-...
Or, if you have happen to have infinite money lying around, a Hublot MP-07 :)

Well I am a few zeros short of infinite, but my hamilton does come with a 120 day power reserve :)

Looks awesome for hackers, specially if you add some decent case and protective glass to it.

#20Geeky in a very different way: I get a kick out the true atomic watches ala Bathys https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-the-bathys-ces..., though Hoptroff begs to differ... https://www.hoptroff.com/collections/atomic-timepieces/produ...
Not radio controlled, but actual atomic-based frequency drivers.
I know, not really what you mentioned, but cool nonetheless.
