Casio G-SHOCK GW-BX5600-1A1

What's not to love about a name like that, huh? Despite the, uh, very technical product name, this truly is a fantastic watch. It's a modern update of their iconic 5600-series watch, now with a memory-in-pixel display that's super easy to read and looks sharp as hell.

This watch charges via solar, so you basically never need to worry about the battery, and it receives the time from multi band radio signals, meaning you never need to worry about setting the time, either. It's just a watch that works, really well, and can take a beating.

This is a bit of a cheat, since this updated model isn't actually available in North America yet – but you can import it from Chrono24.
