The Casio G-Shock GW M850 is designed for serious boaters. Powered entirely by solar energy and kept up to date by ‘Wave-Ceptor technology’, you never have to worry about replacing its batteries or re-setting it as you cross time zones. Instead, everything is done for you, automatically. The G-Shock also features a rally timer function (allowing simultaneous starting of stopwatch and linked timer), mineral glass face to minimise scratching, an automatic backlight and water-resistance to 200 metres. Guaranteed for two years, it’s not a fashion statment or a multi-purpose marvel but it’s a bloody good watch at very sensible money. And really, isn’t it about time the digital watch made a comeback?
Price: £99.90
