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.

    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

    Same. Got my G-SHOCK GW-M5610. Basically the ThinkPad of watches. Will never break, throw it in the ocean, smash with a hammer. Still trucks on. Was like $60 when I bought it. Most comfortable watch for travelling and every day use.
