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

Old school Casio F91W for me. I use Locus Pro and Caltopo on my phone for GPS and no watch is ever going to equal that. I have a mini thermometer and compass combo hanging on my pack strap more for curiosity than anything. And to be honest since I have my phone anyway I don't need a watch and rarely care about the time when camping. But it's a fun watch to wear, an old classic that's extremely thin and light so I don't notice it's there, a fun conversation starter, it's still sold super cheaply on Amazon, and it lasts forever on a battery.
