Seiko Solar SNE095_P2. I replaced the green strap with a black.
I have had it since 2011 and I don't have to switch batteries, just have let it catch some sun now and then. And I don't have to take it off in the shower, swimming or washing hands. Just about perfect for me.
I’ve never owned a watch before in my life bt for Father’s Day this year my buddy gave me this same watch (but in green) and I’ve wore it every day since. I ordered a kaki 18mm NATO band for it from amazon and after 11 days a black one came Thursday so who know how long its gonna take to get to a replacement.
Only have two, and up until I got the Seiko I never wore a watch. Now I can’t leave home without one on.

They are good watches. The one on the left is about 14 years old. Got almost 8 years on the first battery. Keeps good time too. I've changed the band a few times. It's the one weak spot on these. They crack after a few years..
Yep, I’ve changed the band countless times on my Casio, and several times it almost fell off my wrist and got lost before I realized the band was broken. My particular model isn’t super battery efficient like yours, the battery usually only lasts a bit over a year. I’ve had it for years, and my first two Casios also lasted me almost a decade each of 24/7 usage.
I’m lookng for a few Casio-like watches for work. Anyone have an ‘Alike’ brand in their EDC collection? About $6-$12. Here are a few that caught my eye:
These look definitely super good and for such a low price it is hard to resist. The third one is what I like most.
Tmart has also nice watches I have this on order which cost me less than 12$.
Check out this thread for a short review of a casioclone.
I’ve been trying out the gear fit for a few months. I really like it. It gets a lot of attention and it serves the function of displaying texts and emails well enough. It’s going back in a couple weeks, but I look forward to future smartwatches.
This is my EDC watch. It’s really worn and has ruined me for non tritium watches. I have even joined a forum to try and figure out how to get tritium into those Seiko Racer 5 watches. It might not be possible due to space available for thick watch hands.
