I went ahead and picked up the Timex I mentioned the other day, and I am happy as can be! It's light, comfortable, feels like a tank, and seems to be keeping pretty accurate time for the 9 hours that I've had it. It has a Miyota 8215 movement with custom, shock absorbent mounting and a screw down crown for better water resistance. It's almost the exact same size as the Casio AE-1000W I've had as my EDC, and only a little bit heavier.

Thank you for the expert assistance earlier! You were amazingly helpful, and sent me down a new rabbit hole learning about the movements!

I'm glab that I helped. Movements are interesting and have lots to read.
