If you're interested in buying a Casio watch that does this they tend to be called Waveceptor, I'd recommend looking at one that's also solar powered (tough solar).

I specifically went with a battery model because I was not convinced that the battery in the solar models would actually last that much longer than the battery only model. While you can replace the battery in the solar models it is a proprietary part and considered watchmaker level service, while with the battery model it is normal service with a generic part. So I decided that replacing a battery every 5 years would not actually be that bad compared to trying to find a proprietary part every 10 years(A guess based on forum posts, so worthless).

All of which is a false economy. As I buy what is actually a cheap mass production watch as if it were some sort of heirloom piece that I will be passing down to my grand children. Anyhow, whats the point of being a geek if you can't overthink things sometimes?

I've replaced the lithium rechargeable in my Gshock once. It was quite easy I have to say but the buttons are fiddly.

I got the battery off eBay for about £16.

Straps are what give out first and I've been through about 4 where it's become unsightly or otherwise degraded.

Oceanus S100 is absolutely brilliant. Solar powered, radio time sync, titanium (so incredibly lightweight), waterproof, and looks like a dress watch. The only downside is they are only sold in Japan so you have to import them.

The T200 is a great option too- you sacrifice the titanium for stainless steel but get more flexibility as the strap is removable (which IMO makes it more versatile). Beautiful dial too. I own one and I've been looking for watches with similar tinted crystal but haven't been able to find any that do it nearly as well.

There's a Lineage LCW-M100TSE that should be a bit cheaper - titanium, sapphire crystal, radio sync. Also JDM though.

I have this watch and I love it. It's incredibly light due to titanium case and strap, and very tough with sapphire glass. Solar powered, so never needs the battery changing, and always accurate due to the radio receiver. And I like that it looks good without being pretentious, or a display of wealth. It's just a Casio, but those who know, know.

The ani-digital display is not as elegant (IMHO of course!)

[symlinkk]

42mm is huge though

[huhtenberg]

Depends on your wrist, obviously, but on average it's not huge at all. More of the opposite actually.

[rwmj]

It really doesn't feel large, I think because it's so slim (it's quartz) and light.

[ricc]

Or a G-Shock which uses the keyword "Multiband 6".

[psychphysic]

The only downside the G-shocks last forever and you'll never need another watch :)

Also show up in other series, Protreks have it for example. Althought mine is not great indoors and even outdoors needs a bit of finangling to start the sync
