Hi,
I am currently using a timex explorer 301 p6 since 2002 I think. Quite long time ago. Cannot find details about it online. The watch has date and built in magnetic compass with additional dials inside the screen. The watch is metal and weighs about 290 grams. The watch face is 40 mm.
I don't use it that often since the past 6 years. Partly because of the weight and most likely due to the smartphone. I only use it for travel, outdoors and dinner functions. I also don't like the metal strap.
Looking for a replacement watch not metal strap. Light weight. Waterproof (not bringing it to scuba or swimming with it). Date. Stylish. Durable strap is nice.. Back-lit or glow numbers are optional.. Not that I am exercising with it. Comfortable to wear. I want to wear a watch every day again and it has to be suitable for almost a all occasions.Budget around rm 800 or less.
Is the seiko snk809k2 good? I don't want anything above 40 mm since I have a small wrist and don't want anything heavy. I cannot find the weight of the watch online. Also what does it mean by 21 jewels? I have not tried this watch yet.
I have tried the casio mtp 1384 leather. I think this watch is slightly bigger but weighs only 53 grams. Quite nice to wear. Though I don't like the roman numerals used instead of Arabic numbers.
Other suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks
Timex explorer 301 p6 replacement, Seiko or casio?
