  brb gotta buy a casio lineage watch now

    IMO the Casio Oceanus S100 is a better watch in that category - solar powered, radio-controlled, waterproof, no apps or connectivity, but more dressy. However it's JDM only so you have to order it off eBay (or buy it on a trip to Japan I suppose).

      It's also got an integrated bracelet so harder to swap out the bracelet for a leather watch strap (if that's your thing).

      I love my JDM Oceanus S100. It is one of only a few watch movements where all hands are individually controllable by their own motor. As you move the crown you select different time zones and the hands spin whatever direction is closest to indicate correct time for the new time zone. It is magical. Also the way all hands magically snap in place when you take the watch out of dark store. 10/10 would buy again. (the steel series does not have this movement).

The Sensor Watch wiki lists several other compatible Casio watches [1] that all came with a Casio Module 593. Several have a metal finish, or even a round case. The module number is etched on the steel back. All modern compatible watches from Casio are made of plastic: black or chromed plastic. Only some vintage models are in real metal. Vintage watches that came with modules 451, 587, 590 or 595 (maybe more) will also fit a module 593, but you'd still have to source a module 593 for its plastic chassis and other parts. Also, just the other week there popped up a steel replacement case for sale on AliExpress, which as been confirmed to work fine. I bought a vintage Casio W-34 (Module 590) just for my Sensor Watch because I wanted one of steel and because it resembled my broken A158W that I had used for years. 1. https://www.sensorwatch.net/docs/#need-to-buy-a-watch https://www.sensorwatch.net/docs/#need-to-buy-a-watch
