I decided recently that I would like to have a watch that I enjoy looking at, rather than just a tool on my arm. I'm not sure yet how I feel about spending money for this purpose, so I didn't want to go too crazy. That said, if I didn't spend "enough" I wouldn't really get an answer to that question, so I gave myself a $1000 price target. My initial criteria is simple. I want a time piece that draws me in visually and can invoke emotion. After looking across dozens of brands I was drawn more and more to the Japanese makers, and to my surprise I ended up selecting a Casio Oceanus Manta (OCW-S5000E-1AJF) as my first nice watch. It should be quite a change from the $30 Timex Ironman that I have traditionally purchased purely for its utility.

I've used them for years. My second one was found drifting around in the surf in Cancun. The sand had smoothed it down and removed most of the markings, but it was still working. Like you, I wore it for a couple of years before the battery died.
