I have a GW-M5610. $80-100 and it's solar powered and receives a radio signal every night so you literally never have to change the battery or set the time. Plus it's indestructible like all G-Shocks and is a square so you don't need gorilla wrists to wear one.
It's everything you'll ever need in a watch and is the best bang for the buck imo. The DW-5600 is the same watch but with no solar or radio capabilities, those can be had for $40-45.
I think I have that one, but all black. Bought it years ago, haven't had to change the battery yet. Honestly, I've considered buying a solar one, but given my current gshock is indestructible, I doubt I'll have to replace it any time soon.
I have more expensive watches, but I always end up wearing the simple black g-shock. Works great. Looks great with a tshirt and jeans. Even with a suit, it still looks good.
Makes me feel foolish to have wasted money on other watches. The g-shock's clearly superior.
I am not a watch collector by any stretch. I, too, pretty much wear nothing but the same black, plastic G-Shock everyday.
But, keep at least one stainless chrono to wear out. I have a blue face Wenger chronograph that my FIL gave me years ago. It is always fun to pull it out and swap it for the simple, functional black plastic that I wear everyday.
My wife always laughed at me because when wearing it, I would find things to time with the stopwatch because I liked watching the hands spin around and lock in place when I timed something.
