Anyone recommend a reasonably priced one which is radio-controlled
and solar powered ? Other gimmicks not necessary.

G-Shock can take plenty of DIY abuse.
The more trashed they get the better they look IMO.

Thanks Pete. I liked the look of their GW-M5610-1ER
enough to order one.

Presumably Casio found a warehouse full of LCD displays made in
197mumble? I'd have sold you my W-51 :-P

Wow. That brings back memories....
I wore one of those for 10 years or so. It was standard issue to all
"Telephone Rentals" (TR) engineers.

Even used it as a back-up dive timer fixed to my stab. jacket where it
regularly saw 30m

Brilliant watch.

....and I'm still using the strap from one of those as it's the most
comfortable I've found - I think it's on it's 5th watch and on my wrist now!
