Let me give you some real advice, buy a Casio G-SHOCK, pick a version with tiny solar panels. Seriously, they will last a very long time, no need to change a battery or synch it. Strapped my watch on like a decade ago, still works without any maintenance or anything.
Definitely in the category of “ol’ reliable” in terms of watches but I like the Pro-Trek because of some of the added features like the compass, barometer and altimeter.
Yes! I bought one 15 years ago and it’s still trucking. Solar powered and syncs with an atomic clock so no maintenance. Also while cleaning I found a cheapo battery powered gshock that’s probably just as old if not older, and it was still going and only 8 minutes off. Seriously amazing watches. If I didn’t rely on my smartwatch for sleep tracking and notifications, I wouldn’t wear anything else

That or the Casio Pro-Trek if you want something that’s not the G-Shock
That or the Casio A168WE if you want something that’s not the G-Shock or the Pro-Trek.

Didn’t know that type, now I might have to get one
