I am really into Casios but lately they just seem to do colabs that have nothing new but different pigment! I also notice they do not sell, being mostly heavy discounted in their outlet/sales sections. Why are they not listening to customers and update things! I would love an F91w with new LED light and timer! An AE1300 without the triclops. I know there is AE1600/1500 but they are too bulky and do not pass the cuff test in my view! Oh and do not get me started on painted metal cases…

In my search for the GADA, finally wore my auto for a whole 3 days and realized I am missing a backlight the most, and in my case I am spoiled with auto light on my LCW M300 Lineage I just trying to get input on how you deal with it? I went out for a walk and there were dark areas and was hard to see and the lume was gone after 20-30 min or so even being superluminova type! I am the type that does not like to take the watch off unless really needed!

After getting my perceived one and done PRW-35TLD-7JF, realized the metal(titanium) covered resin is just blah. The lugs are plastic and prone to crack eventually! Love the features of the watch but I think longevity is not its forte, and at 500$ fee...

I am looking to get the new GMWB5000D-1C and GMB2100SD-1C but the lugs extend out too far and feels off on my wrist! Are there any adapters that can work to make it more traditional?

I want an analog solar watch with backlight, day/date would be great!

I have found MTPS120L-1AV and BM8180-03E, but they do not have a back light?

I already have the LCW M300D that I use, but wanted a pure analog!

I keep looking for the perfect watch yet I can't find it and need your help.

I dived into automatic and even had a custom watch but then was not happy.

I want a diver style like a SSK033 with solar, white dial with day/date or gmt. I know there is a seiko sumo with solar GMT but black, can the dial be changed? Any watches what match my criteria?

I was on a quest to find the perfect watch and just can seem to find it. Wanted an analog with auto light, solar and maybe atomic sync. I also wanted a digital watch with similar features and there are plenty, but only a few are decent like the 5610u...

I came to realize that best way to stop chasing listns and buy so many just to try out is to get an analog in automatic, like the SRPE55 and 5610u on the digital side.

What say you? I mainly want to stick to 3 watches after…
