Garmin Instinct 2S. Priced around $200 (US) for the holidays.

Citizen has several women’s tanks in the Bianca and Stiletto collections. Here’s a link to one of the steel options, bear in mind that they are nearly always available cheaper in the real world than they are on Citizen’s website https://www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/product/EW5551-56N.html

Not your budget, but someone posted a review of her Citizen Calendrier about a week ago, with a very good picture. She was quite pleased with it.

Blok and Flik Flak make some nice children’s watches, but I don’t think any have GMT.

If you are willing to spend more and get a watch made for adults you might take a look at https://abingdonco.com/

If you paint it, it will no longer get enough light.

Looks like it might be from the Stiletto collection.

Sort of a faux beads-of-rice?

Your English is great, I was just having trouble imagining the behaviour of the watch. Now I understand.

I have an Eco Drive Citizen that does the same thing. Trying to advance the date using the crown does nothing, but the date will change if I advance the time. So….. I sat down with an entertaining YouTube video to keep me from getting bored and advanced the time over and over and over again until the date was right. On 28 day and 30 day months, I fix the date by advancing the time.

It’s a clumsy solution, but I couldn’t be bothered to take it in to be repaired. It’s my favorite watch, and works just fine otherwise.

I’m confused. If it corrects the date when you set it to the time for the next day, are you caught in the midnight zone?

Set time to 6:30. Advance the date to yesterday. Advance time until you see the date start to switch (midnight-ish today) and keep advancing the time to now, including passing noon if it is afternoon.

When you do that, is it still stuck?

It’s an interesting thought. I like mechanisms. I like elegant engineering. My cars have always been stick-shift, I prefer my acoustic bikes to my ebike, prefer hand powered coffee grinders and can openers to electric ones.

But I am enamored with solar quartzes.

Dunno what the theme would be. Elegance, simplicity, accuracy, independence, least tech required to do the job right?

I can see electric cars replacing petrol cars. Certainly in areas where people can throw solar panels on top of their garage and charge their car off-grid. (Micro-grids are the future in any case.)
