Hi guys,

I play with cars, houses and various sports and want a watch to wear everyday.

Currently I have a Seiko diver which I must admit is a bit too "deep" at 12mm.

I do like a large stainless steel watch and strap and I need it to be water resistant and preferably automatic or solar (although how long do batteries last these days ?)

I also like the offset crown as it doesn't then dig into my hand when the watch moves around.

I don't mind if its new or used, my budget isn't huge at £500 but I tend to destroy them by 2/3 yrs and I'm happy to have something even cheaper if I like it as I have gold omega for functions.

I'm just a bit bored of the (automatic) Seiko plus it loses 5 mins a week despite being sent back a year ago for the same problem.

Thanks

Casio Waveceptor.

Lots of styles to choose from. Its radio controlled so always accurate to the second.

Casio also do solar powered but I don't know if they do the Waveceptor and Solar in the same watch.

Thanks but I'm looking for something quite plain.

However the link was useful after searching through that site I quite like the Tissot PRC200 however the non chronograph with a blue face appears to have been superseded which is a shame.
