At that budget my money would go on a Seiko or Orient.
Let us know how you get on,I stretched my budget
Used code SAVE125 at thewatchhut to get £125 off, so the Tissot was £440
Cheers for the input
I love the silver/blue waffle dial, I almost pulled the trigger on one but not sure if my puny wrists (20cm) would make it look too big for what it is.. the PRX80 is 40mm case, but 51mm effectively for the lug-lug so not sure it won't look too bulky.
I don't mind my Fossil Gen 5 Smart Watch (44mm case / 48mm Lug-Lug) as that is bulky but the proportions seem to work.
Sounds like OP's already made a decision, but this is what I'd have suggested.
Casio LCW-M170TD-1AER https://www.casio-europe.com/euro/products/watches/radio-controlled/lcw-m170td-1aer/
Solar powered - shouldn't run out of power
Titanium case and strap, sapphire window - durable
Radio controlled - no messing about when the clocks change
Water resistant to 5atm - No need to take it off for a shower/washing up etc.
Looks decent (though that's subjective) and gives the best of digital and analogue watches.
Or, a bit cheaper, LCW-M100DSE-1AER https://www.casio-europe.com/euro/products/watches/radio-controlled/lcw-m100dse-1aer/
Fairly similar spec but doesn't look as good (again, subjective), stainless steel rather than titanium case+strap. This is what I have as I found a decent deal once upon a time (Amazon warehouse, 20% off event, <£100).
Both about as close as you can get to "strap on and forget about it".
