i love the product design aspect of a product that only needs to have one thing set (in this case, the time zone), to be eternally a functional device

which is why i love gshocks, both for design but also specifically the ones with tough solar/multiband 6 (and bluetooth (optional))

they have battery lives in the range of decades (due to solar charging), set themselves (multiband 6 is using atomic clock radio signals) and via bluetooth

you can get gw-b5600-2 and gw-s5600u (auto backlight) for under $200, but usually closer to $100. there are many more models, of course

that sounds expensive, but it's insanely durable construction and battery life means it'll be the only digital watch you'll ever need to buy. and the only configuration it will ever need is the time zone.
