After something like a year of searching I finally got:
Couldn't find anything else that would tick those boxes.
I know a ton of people love g-shock, and i respect you guys, but to me it looks like something i would pick up on my way to drive a main battletank into the heart of russia
Sounds like an upside.
I definitely don't love the look. There are tons of better looking watches but analog perpetual calendars are crazy expensive, classic digital watches are ugly and smart watches have to be charged regularly. The only other brand I was considering was Festina but their connected watches are huge. It's crazy but g-shock was the only thing I found that had digital date in dd/mm format and didn't have heart rate monitor.
if that was your clear use case, i kinda get that. dd/mm date on watches are rare, and perpetual calendars are only something i heard of in rolexes, and i would rather write a date on my hand with a ball-point pen each day before i buy a rolex for what they ask for it
And I find watches with analog (non perpetual) dates useless because they will randomly jump a day at the end of the month so I can never really trust them.
Isn't that one of the clear use cases?
The plain old digital ones with solar + radio time syncing are the best tool watches on the market in my opinion : set and forget, it even does DST automatically. The only limitation is you have to be outside during the day with the watch exposed a few hours a month or cheat with other light sources.
You really don't. Maybe other watches use more power but I left my gshock in a drawer for months, maybe even a year and when I took it out the battery was at "M." Put it on a window sill and it was at H in no time. Haven't actually seen it in years and I wouldn't be surprised if it was still alive.
Mine turns off in the dark so that may help. I based my remarks off the manual. Good to know they're pessimistic.
