Casio MTG-900 has been my watch for a few years now.

The pros are...
-Solar recharge
-Atomic time update
-Metal band
-G-shock
-Waterproof
-Lighter than it looks

The one con is...
-No countdown timer

By the way, I have several cool watches in my watch drawer. Each requires a regular battery. The last battery died a few years ago. I haven't bothered replacing any batteries since I got this Casio, the only watch I wear. I use this Casio to set the time on other clocks and watches.

If this watch fails, I will buy another one, instead of trying to repair. I have already gotten my money's worth and then some.
