Buy what you like, seems like you’ve made the choice already and it looks great.
I’d personally stay away from Timex as only had bad experiences.

I'm looking for an alternative with a glass crystal. That Casio ^^ has an easily-scratched plastic lens.

Thanks for the heads up on Timex though. Have you only had bad experience with recent Timex watches, or old ones, or both?

Sorry, I thought that wasn’t your wrist!
Quick search and found this with a mineral glass. https://www.creationwatches.com/products/casio-watches-73/casio-classic-analog-quartz-black-resin-mq-24-1bldf-mq24-1bldf-mens-watch-6711.html?currency=GBP&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&gclid=Cj0KCQjw59n8BRD2ARIsAAmgPmKNPrAlBV7qAwgqju9hsXb18h2YSzTag3c-tKiygPyexfCmfLBPBKsaAjWJEALw_wcB
Re: Timex - both. The most recent one was Timex Expedition Indiglo, within 1 year the date stopped working. And all the watch shops say they don’t even touch Timex and as it’s not worth fixing.

Might not be to your taste. But my Dad had one of these for at least 15 years and put it through the ringer
I've got it now and it's rough around the edges but still works just as well as on day one. Aesthetics may put you off but it's a nice size and shape.

Timex seemed ok, lest my Waterbury one which still kept on ticking accurately.

What about the new Swatch 1983?
