What watch you're wearing?

Okay. So I got the new band for the Khaki Auto 42 Ti. It is awesome, but I'm in a ciger bar having a scotch so this is the best I can do for now.

I've been thinking about getting one of those Casio digital watches that sell in the $30-$50 range with a steel bracelet. Is there a particular model of those that is the "hot ticket"? A168W or B650 perhaps?

I like my AE1200. It's a plastic body, with a steel "bracelet", but it's moreso aesthetic than comfortable

Yep, definitely the AE1200 World Time.

For a fully digital watch, incredible value and top choice 👍

Even though the bracelet is thin and the case is "faux-metal" they are incredibly hardy, very functional, and seem to run forever. As a bonus, the watch is so light that it doesn't feel like you are even wearing one.
 
I have been using a Suunto Clipper compass on my non-sensor G-Shocks for years. Thought I'd try this titanium compass. I may not be a keeper. Although I did use it today to align the Starlink at work.

I would refer to those larger compasses and overladen watches as "barnacles", lol...like the guy says in the video with one addendum...Wear them ON the jacket, not over it.
 
Speaking of Digital Casio and G-Shock. I was going to revive my old 5600E from 1987 by replacing the battery and cleaning. Broke the case instead. Darnit! 😡🤬😡

My first ever watch.

You can get replacement cases. Pacparts is the place you want to go.

Here's a parts compatibility chart if you're feeling frisky;

You can also get some pretty sweet aftermarket metal cases.
Still plenty of life left in that G
