    I’m not sure where to even look, I’ve checked Casio since I know they have at least one of the features I’m looking for. I want a minimalistic watch, as thin as possible, that’s solar and atomic. Doesn’t seem like much to ask, but it seems that most solar watches are on the thicker side and/or are G-Shock style chunky watches. I don’t

    GWM5610-1 is atomic and solar. Any of the 56xx series of g-shocks should be “small” so there may be others that have atomic and solar features if you don’t like that color.

    Casio and citizen are the only options I can think of. Look for the Casio Oceanus and or waveceptors which are the thinnest I’ve come across at 10mm for some models. While double checking my memory I came across a site, bluedial, that has a fairly comprehensive page of options to look at. To be clear though, I’ve never before heard of them — the endorsement is for window shopping only.

    Casio lineage lcw-m160td-1ajf, is listed as 8.8mil. It’s unlikely you’ll find anything thinner than that.

    Bluedial is a pretty well respected site.

    I am in the same boat! I don’t know where to even begin.

    That may be the winner, though I would still like to have a thinner case.

    Well so much for my criteria, I ran across a random watch that I just had to take a chance on. We’ll see how it works for me. Supposed to be 2-4 day shipping but isn’t showing shipped yet..hopefully it gets here by the weekend.

    Good luck. Seiko 5s are a gateway drug. Got my kid brother one a few years back. Last year he got a Rolex.

    Absolutly the truth, My first auto was a Seiko and it was all down hill from there. Don’t think I’ve had anything on my wrist that used a battery in the last ten years.

    The Seiko SNZG15 is a simple, understated military style watch that goes great with about any 22mm Nato strap.
