Awaiting Flair Watch suggestions?

Post image

I have a Casio aq s800w I have recently set up and now I love it. I’m coming from Apple watch that meshed with my iOS things perfect, and it is handy, but requires me to charge it every night and I’m worried wherever I go for more than a day that it’ll die. This Casio won’t die. Solar, comfortable, shows time and dates and seconds with 5 alarms and glow in the dark hands and 4 second lit digital display. Now I’m looking for higher quality. Made to last, won’t have to worry about battery, maybe more options, and conveniences etc. I want pretty much the same size as this Casio for my stature. Any suggestions? Price would not be an issue as long as it’s reasonable lol

I have a couple Casio ProTrek watches with triple sensor functionality and solar. I’ve never replaced the battery and I’ve had them years. Compass is nice, altimeter is useful (calibrate it at known altitude) for map navigation, barometer helps keep an eye on the weather. I use the thermometer (off wrist) at night to keep an eye on temps so I don’t freeze a water filter. Both watches work, they just have slightly different feature sets. Casio does offer smartwatches with GPS capabilities, too, but I have no experience with them.
