My dream is a partnership between Apple and Casio that ads some of the smart watch features & biometric measurements to a classic F-91W design...
Also a Casio fan, having picked up a GWM5600BC Radio Controlled/Solar model in 2010. I'm wearing it to this day, having never changed the battery, taken out through all manner of wet and cold situations. I did sometimes have the problem of the battery running low in winter but switched off the wrist-flick light feature which constantly misfired under-sleeve and haven't had it since. Atomic clock updates daily are the…
I've been wearing a Casio F-91W for a number of years now and it really is a joy. It's always there, and it always works. I've gone down the rabbit hole with expensive time pieces but they become a burden / obligation rather than a tool - especially as the prices of certain pieces in the secondary market have gone so high - so over time I've reverted back to much cheaper watches and find myself getting more joy out o…
If you want something that looks nice and is a Casio, search "casio edifice" on ebay, used, you can find many good watches under $100.

I bought F-91W for my SATs in senior year of high school... I've been an acolyte ever since. It's hands-down the most comfortable and versatile watch I've ever worn.

light fitness tracking in a forever battery w simple subtle design would win me. Something like the MQ24-7B2 mechanical with similar features would be the bees knees.

Luckily Casio makes a gold-colored version for special occasions.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I agree on all points, except I prefer my watches mechanical, rather than electronic. So I got one of the cheapest Seiko automatic watches. Being mechanical it's obviously going to cost more and keep time much less accurately than a quartz watch. Other than that, I identify with your comment. The cheap automatic Seiko is always there, and it always works. Don't have to worry about putting it away and then needing to…
Citizen is another Japanese watchmaker and the eco-drive solar technology has been around for about 30 years. You can get a low-end Citizen Eco-Drive for about $100, sometimes even less on sale. Solar powered, very durable, and they look great. Most are water resistant as well. I've had one model running continuously for 11 years. I love never having to charge it or change the battery.
Are there any digital (not smart ) watches besides Casio ?
Timex and Armitron are the two others that come to mind.
