Just done one of these for a flashlight, thought it worth a shot for a watch too. I’m new to the world of watches, got a G-Shock GA-200RG-1AER from Bkkrs a while back and like it, but want something more professional looking and am prepared to spend a little more.
Those of you big into watches should consider writing a question list like the flashlight one, but here are my wants:
-Analog dial.
-Minimalist design, subtle, low profile (everything the G-shock is not!) suitable for formal events, business attire etc.
-Good illumination, don’t care how it’s done (backlight on the g-shock is woeful).
-Time, Date, Stopwatch are musts, alarm would be nice, any other features are bonuses but unlikely to excite me.
-Waterproofing & ruggedness is a must, I wouldn’t brand myself as clumsy, but I spend a lot of my free time outdoors or working in my garage and the state of my jewellery and the aforementioned G-shock would suggest I regularly angle grind my hands/wrists. Will be in shower, mud, sea, etc. and would love to be able to pass it down to kids eventually, so tough as nails please.
-Not essential, but would make me happy if possible: Solar power/eco-drive/some kind of self charging system.

Thanks in advance!
Citizen AT4007-54E I actually bought one 2 years ago and I’ve been very happy with it. The lume is pretty good (not as good as my Lum-Tec) but it works for me. When you say Minimalist I’m not sure if it fits the bill because to me its not any big deal or look too busy. It comes in about $450ish. Plus before you order online if you’ve got a Kay Jewelers they should have one in stock and you can try it on.
Sorry I wasn’t more help.
Plenty of help, got to start somewhere!
The AT4007-54E looks nice, face is probably more cluttered than I’d ideally like, but not too bad.
How long does the lume last?
