I have been rocking the Casio F91W for many years, and I love the minimalist design and solid functionality. Unfortunately, I seem to be tearing then up. They used to last a few years, but I've been doing more installation and retrofit work lately, and I just seem to be beating them up.
found an F-91W in a streambed. No strap. It was buried among little fist-sized rocks in the stream... It was scratched up from what seemed to be years of being gradually washed down the stream and ground against the Sierra Nevada granite. The next morning at 6am, its alarm went off in our tent. Amazing.
had the exact same one, my dad passed it down actually. sat in a junk drawer for like a decade before i found it again and just needed a new battery to bring it back.
I had one with a broken lug laying around so I taped it to my motorcycle that didn't have a digital dash. The bike always sat outside and I eventually sold it a year after, with the watch on it.
It's still my go to after a decade and half. Love this watch.

There are so many beautiful Alpinists out there in such limited quantities. I don’t get why they don’t just offer all of them, I’d sure as fuck buy one
Citizen Tsuyosa. Citizen Zenshin Mechanical. Tissot Gentleman. Tissot LeLocle. Seiko Alpinist. Hamilton Khakhi Field Automatic.
Alpinist all the way. Gorgeous watch.
I agree on the alpinist.
As many others, I would recommend the Seiko. It sports a classic, but still casual look and will, according to my opinion, provide more wearing opportunities than the Hamilton
