@Warren Money reason why I like g-shocks and mill spec watches - we have - 45 celsius at winter and +45 celsius at summer🤷‍♂️ Some times I work in my yard for whole day, repairing my old hous. Some works are quite intense on +45. So I need to monitor hart beat to not increase reasonable parameters.

@Warren Money I think you have even more in summer any way

@Darren Poesel I love and respect the old-school quality of SEIKO. Those watches are gorgeous. After so many financial crises, too many corners have been cut in manufacturing.

@Darren Poesel we have too much marketing and much less quality in this days.

I have a solar G-SHOCK. Cons of solar: Any solar watch can have trouble coming back to life if the battery is fully discharged. Important: you need to keep them charged and in use. If they just sit somewhere without proper sunlight access, like in my living room even during the day, problems can start. Fewer complications is always better. Usually, the manual explains this. Some solar watches unfortunately turn into an expensive brick once fully discharged. I doubt a well-known brand would knowingly produce something that fragile. Pros: If you don’t have access to proper service that can reseal a watch correctly while maintaining dust, dirt, and water resistance, solar is a lifesaver. In my location, there are zero specialists who can work with watches rated above 100 meters of water resistance. Without the right tools and skills, they can damage the case anyway.

If you exposed to extreme cold for long period of time. Watches battery especially no MILL SPEC, can be dead or close to dead. Sollar would needed to be just loaded (but it can be tricky any way on cold, especially with metal case). But it's better not get to such situations any way.

Nice classic watch. There was a time when any diver watch, on metal strap especially, was rise a surprised looks and question where is your oxygen billons and diving mask. Same as smart watches now.

@Sarah Carter and dem. Some G-SHOCKs ''MGRs'' versions are gorgeous.

@Sarah Carter metal is a metal though. No way that it is absorbs hits same as resign or isolate from heat and cold. I have -40 +40 celsius here. Metal on the wrist outside is a ''no no thank you'' some times.
