I think the day will come, but for the time being there are so few high-end solar-powered watches. I am really tempted by this one, but I wish I had more choice.

    Are you more interested in getting a high-end name but a three-hand watch, or would you prefer a lot of features? I’m asking because you’ll probably get responses in two separate camps. The first Camp will be things like the Seiko Astron or various casios that have lots of functions. The other will be things like the citizen chronomaster. This Tag Heuer seems like it fits into the latter group.

      Yeah, you’re right. I think I’m into rugged 100-300m water resistance but also simple and elegant. Not into tons of complications. Having said that, I do have an open mind. Not really into the Casios. Great watches but I like something more classic. I’m not hung up on name but the higher-end names seem to always grab me. Mostly because of build quality.

        Except for ruggedness and water resistance, something that would meet all of your other requirements would be the Cartier Tank Must SolarBeat. Simple, elegant, having the absolute minimum in terms of complications (two-hander with no seconds!), classic. High-end name. Great build quality. Probably furthest from what you were expecting, though. I have one myself. It’s a great watch.
