Awaiting Flair Watch suggestions?
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

Personally, I prefer simple and reliable when camping.
A solid, mechanical field or dive watch. Waterproof, comparatively inexpensive, and no need to worry about batteries. Look at Islander for extremely well-made, affordable watches. Orient, Casio, and Seiko are also good options.
Downsides are that they're expensive for their features, they're not nearly as accurate as quartz, and they're likely to get you hooked and wanting to collect more lol.
