What watch you're wearing?

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"? A158W or A168W perhaps?
Basically G-Shock. Casio digital watches with muscles.

My first dive mask was a Squale. They didn't do watches back then but they've done well now. I like this one!
 
I wear most of my watches "upside down" (inside the wrist)
I wore watches that way for years. It was much more natural to see the whole face with that rotation of the arm. Once in the military I damaged crystals way too much. Later I would bang it on laptops. So I caved. Every now and then I revert but for a short time. I just can't get comfortable with it.

Now that's a great looking watch. Very clean design with a touch of elegance in its simplicity. I really like the hands and offset crown as well.

Thanks, Lawman! ... 👍

Kocking-on-wood. .... So far the 6R35 engine is running well!

Really glad I found this WatchGecko strap (had to source 1.8mm spring bars with 1.1mm tips to install it): Calibre 1960 Mesh Watch Strap - PVD Black

However, the only complaint with the strap. It's a bit cumbersome to put on. Other than that, it wears well and IMO, fits the design of the watch. ... 👍

The bracelet looks great with the watch! ... 👍👍
Stock bracelet! They really put some effort into the SPB315J1.

The 6105-8000 (released in '68 to replace the venerable 62MAS) has always been my favorite case Seiko ever did. To this day, their thinnest diver. Predates the Willard a bit, but you can see the evolution of their cushion case in the DNA.

6105-8000 on the left and 6105-8110 on the right.

They are great watches, as you know w/ your PVD model. Every time I put it on I end up wearing it for about a week, ignoring everything else in the watchbox.
