Seikos are great watches. I have two dress Seikos, or whatever you call the nicer looking ones. One was given to me 20+ years ago by my now deceased oldest brother, and the other I inherited from my dad so it is closer to 40 years old. Both still work and both still look great.

I bought mine for a real cheap price when I was stationed in Korea. I've always loved tech and had to have this. When calculator watches became an affordable reality, I retired my trusty Seiko.
My taste in watches is analog, though I prefer wearing a Casio G-Shock when doing the outdoors bit.

Yep, I would have to brush up on slide rule use too as it has been 40+ years since I routinely used one in school. Now that smartphones can have scientific calculator apps, I would have to search my junk boxes to find my old calculators.
Definitely love my Cassio G-Shock watches. I've had several over the years. But they are difficult to read. They are large, but the readable part is small. I finally found a non-G-Shock Cassio with analog hands, solar power, and waveceptor radio (atomic clock capability) that is easy to see and stylish too. And yes, the waveceptor radio properly positions the analog hands. It isn't tough like the G-Shocks, but I love it for every day use. I switched to a G-Shock when doing outdoors stuff or handyman stuff around the house.
