Steel or Titanium

I'm looking at Seiko's JDM solar radio-controlled watches and two have stood out. Both have the same dimensions, but as you can see different dials and slightly different shades of blue. Then there is...

Thanks for confirming! I had read about the longer clasp, and as someone with small wrists this could be an issue for me.

How is the bracelet?

G-Shock, that's what I'm going to be wearing

You're welcome! I would add that the lume on the Citizen BM8180 also isn't that good, although it is still much better than the Timex, all the numerals have a nice (albeit weak) blue glow.

Those are three excellent watches to choose from!

With the Timex, whilst I agree about the lume (it's basically non-existent) the movement is great, extremely accurate (+/- 1 second a month)! The only "issue" I have had with it is that it takes longer to charge than Eco-Drive or Tough Solar. It's my only solar watch that I have found needing a recharge in the winter.

I'm wearing the Timex today, but have been wearing the Citizen for most of the past week. Currently solar quartz is more practical whilst I work at home this month.

The Seiko would also be great, a 36mm of the Seiko 5 I have sounds like a perfect size. I still like mine because it has a unique mix of blue and gold with the bead blasted finish. Plus it was a gift so it's going nowhere.

Just be aware that the 4R36 movement is a lucky dip. I have two watches with this movement. The SRPG is between -3 to +5 and my SRPE is -2 to -10. I also (not pictured) have an NH35 (technically the same but without a day) and that is +10 seconds.

commented on Non square G shock for small wrists ·

I found the standard GA2100 size too big for my small wrists. The Square 5610U is a surprisingly good fit on me though.

An alternative option, not a G-Shock, but is a Casio with all of the other features is the Casio Lineage (LCW-M100TSE-1AER). Has MB6 and Tough Solar. Also despite being 39.5mm only has 44mm lug to lug so is very wearable.

commented on How many watches do you wear a day? ·

Usually two, one for work (date is a must) then I switch to something else when I get home. At the moment I'm working at home so have actually just been sticking to my 37mm Citizen with day/date for comfort and convenience.
