I support you this hundred percent by personal experience. Obviously for style and all enthusiasts Automatic has its charm but it comes to utility it is of no use. I once ask a person wearing a Timex military version and he said it doesn’t have date. Just imagine a military watch that is more than 100 dollars not having date. And there is a long line of watches that are very expensive and couldn’t tell you date or day. So for practical use solar win win. Rest obviously where style comes everything is possible

[Question]I tried an automatic, Quartz, Tough Solar. I found Solar far better. (alien.top)
 

I am new to watch collection but my experience with Seiko automatic was very bad and Quartz has battery issue. In all this i concluded solar specifically Casio Tough solar were very realiable and good for bucks. Analogue watches never give much features like digital and use. What are your views? I found Solar is best option as far features and thing for money goes. Automatics are very expensive and don’t worth in utility that much.

i am fed up of having twice tried Seiko automatic watches with lesser price from Amazon. All start getting slow within a day even after wearing the watch almost half day in morning it is six hours behind. I tried SNKM97 Seiko Re craft series Silver Stone. I am thinking to shift to Kinetic Quartz

I am new to watches. I recently bought a Bulova with leather strap. I find metal strap beautiful but uncomfortable while leather or rubber keep watch at its place. What are your views on it?

[Question] How is Survan as brand? (alien.top)
 

I found its watches very very beautiful and in lower price range. Other big brands are way too expensive.

I have found Casio a very balance brand. It is simple but robust and cheap. G Shock is his style. It is a Casio G-Shock Black Rubber Casual Watch For Men - AE-1400WH-1AVDF, Resin.

[Question] How is Qolam North Edge as compared to Casio Protrek? in c/watches@style.land
[–] Contended-Forever@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It is a Qolam Men's Digital Analog Diving Full Steel Business Altimeter Compass 200m Waterproof Wrist Watch. How it is as compared to Casio Protrek PRG650Y-1? I am looking for a watch with protrek functionality but it looks like a dress watch. Any other brand or watch anyone can suggest which fulfill this criteria
