I’m a freshman in college looking to get his first watch ever. My budget’s around $150.

Was looking into a couple of options.

G-Shock GA2100-1A1, G-Shock GM2100-1A, G-Shock GAB2100-1A…

Any other suggestions?

I own the first one, and while it is a great watch, the visibility isn’t great in low light. I think the last one is probably the best option because of the solar power and Bluetooth capabilities.

Make sure to shop around. You can get the Bluetooth model for around 120$
