I really like my Casio LCW-M100TSE [1]. It's a (mostly) analog watch with a solar cell, radio receiver and led backlight. Keeps perfect time (radio sync), never needs charging, battery changing or winding, has a titanium case and titanium band so is incredible light but nearly indestructable, and looks good without being overly pretentious or a statement of wealth. And most importantly, doesn't interrupt me with notifications when I'm trying to concentrate. As watches go, I think it's as close to perfect as any watch I've had. Never would have thought that as I got older and wealthier, I'd end up back with Casio 40 years after having Casio watches as a teenager, but there you are.

Absolutely love that one. It is exactly my kind of watch... a sleeper gem. A true "if you know you know" watch.

Everybody else sees an affordable Casio. But those who know, know.

I own this, toom and used is as my only watch until a few days ago. Then the titanium mod for my GW-M5610U-1ER arrived by mail. I am wearing this now, but I wish it was as light as the LCW-M100TSE (which is 70g vs. 100g of my new one). Since I just like digital watches which I grew up with I will go with the G-Shock.

BTW, you forgot to mention that the LCW-M100TSE has a sapphire crystal, which is quite a feature in that price class.
