Well my faithful Casio seems to have gone walkabouts which is a shame as other than some light damage (scratches) to the case and screen it was in perfect working order. Now I do like some analogue watches but, when I am wearing it at Work or College I like just being able to glance down and have the time written down in number format rather than having to find the hands. The Casio cost me £20 and has lasted about 4 years before being lost (I will probably find it after I buy something else). This is what I had before, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-W-96H-1AVES-Resin-Di... and I really liked it. Would I be best buying another Casio like the one I lost or is there other options out there for me?

Might as well see if you can find one with Waveceptor tech as well as solar power. Won't be that expensive.

What would you say to this Casio? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-WV-58U-1AVEF-Ceptor-...
I quite like the idea of these Wave Ceptor watches and this one isn't too expensive either.

The only issue is whether you like it or not. Casio are a reliable brand.

Actually - I'd pay slightly more and get a G-shock for 50 quid or so online... they look and function a lot better than the normal Casio's , straps last longer too than the bottom end Casio's

..I use one as my outdoor sailing / hiking watch ... really tough and can also use it as diving backup .. is 200m water resistant

For a cheap digital, surely the only choice for anyone who likes watches is the eponymous Casio F-91W.

Available for under a tenner from places like Argos, just don't wear it at your local mosque, or whilst shopping for large quantities of chemicals.
