Practicality First
Color: Brown/Black, Color: Brown/Black
This is a simple, no frills watch from a well regarded brand.
It has good water resistance, good durability, and high accuracy.
If all you need is a way to tell the time that wonโt fail you, buy this watch.
As itโs solar powered, it doesnโt need to be wound or have a battery replaced or charged in the foreseeable future. This longevity and low effort maintenance was the most important feature for me, and part of why I chose this over a digital watch (along with digital watches potentially being bricked from firmware).
I shouldnโt have to say this but obviously it doesnโt come out of the box charged and working - you need to leave it by a window or something for a day. After that, it will always work so long as you wear it outside every so often. The battery life is claimed to be 2 months but Iโm not about to leave it in a closet for 2 months to test this. This is a newer model than the version Iโd been trying to buy and it appears to have a more readable face as well as luminescent watch hands which are helpful for telling the time in the dark. Itโs also nearly silent so ticking wonโt be an issue.
My only complaint is the watchband. Itโs a serviceable quick release band, but itโs a bit on the short side and I wanted something of higher quality so I replaced it with a Hirsch 120mm/100mm watchband that actually fits and is altogether nicer than the out of the box band.
