My Casio Lineage watch is one of the most worn watches in my collection. It’s a nice dress watch that isn’t too formal and works well with just about anything I want to wear. Recently I found a sporty twin for my Lineage watch. Here’s a comparison.

Currently scoping out groomsman watches , that Casio Lineage might make a good contender. Looking for something dressy, fairly inexpensive, but from a quality brand and ideally one that has automatic time setting of some kind since those tend to be my most worn watches out of convenience.
Probably not what you are looking for but I can’t help to post. A more facncy (and thus more expansive) version of Linage would be the Oceanus ( https://www.shoppinginjapan.net/casio-ocw-s100-1ajf ).
Even more fancy look into the Junghans Max Bill Mega Solar ( https://junghans-shop.com/collections/max-bill/max-bill-mega-solar/ ).
Both fancy watches with solar recharging and radio calibration… Although too expensive for every day wear. (I love my Casio Linage it’s an excellent daily driver. I would love the Junghans as a dress watch.)
You just made me think about Edifice. Alas, they only have solar chronographs, nothing with MultiBand. Kind of too bad, because the chronographs are in the same price range as the Lineage.
I love a really clean, minimalist style watch… And, IMO, for that watch it’s not too expensive. Only objection I have to it is the app connection. I seriously don’t want my watches interacting with my phone.
Citizen and Seiko also offer solar, radio sync watches. I have a Seiko Astron, unfortunately it’s about 3-4x the price of the Junghans.
Agreed with the phone/internet should not touch my watch… But if it calms someone, the communication between the watch and the phone is done over audio (not Bluetooth WiFi or USB). The phone beeps and the watch listens.
Not saying its immortal but a lot better than BLE or similar.
I would be more concerned with that as the interface… There was an article about 10–12 years ago about hacking computers using sound. Now, given the current issues with headphones / earbuds being hacked I wouldn’t be too keen on having a device that uses an open audio interface like that.
If you aren’t in North America you might be able to get the Lineage for a reasonable price.
The other brands (as I mentioned below) that are known for the GPS watches are Citizen and Seiko. Unfortunately, their offerings are kind of slim at the moment, mostly focused on Chronographs, and quite a bit more expensive. Although, I will say, I’m surprised that Seiko’s Astron watches have come down in price since I bought mine a few years ago. (But they are still around $2500-$3000 USD.)
Sounds amazing! Thanks for posting in our community!
Thanks for welcoming me.
