The classic tool watch styles are the dive watch, pilot’s watch, and field watch. Watches that ostensibly serve a purpose for some particular use case, but realistically most of us do not have that use case in our daily lives. Sure, you may find an occasional use for the bezel on a dive watch, but I’d guess that most of us here aren’t regularly scuba diving.
So: what would the features of a watch be for an actual, regular use case that you have? Since I’m guessing many of us have desk jobs, let’s say features for any particular use case that you have, be it your profession, or a hobby, or just something that shows up often in your daily life.
I own a bunch of Casio watches and I do like all of them. I just wish there was a G-Shock that had all the useful features and a few bonus ones.
This would be the ultimate G-Shock for me:
I’d really like the watch to have a step counter, since it motivates me to go outside and exercise. I don’t need any fitness tracking or heart rate monitoring, since I’m not an athlete. HR sensors tend to make the fitness watches bulkier, ugly and power hungy. The solar charging and multiband time syncing make the watch just so effortless. The watch is always on time and doesn’t need battery changes. The GW-M6510 already has these and I love it! 24h timer would be nice, since most Casios are limited to 60m timer. Two separate stopwatches, since split time does not always cut it, If i need to time some multitasking. Most Casios have 5 daily alarms, I just wish I could attach a short message for those, and use them as more versalite reminders. And the MFA TOPT code is obvious for any IT job today.
