Digital traveling watch

What is the best, all digital traveling watch? Some Casio RC solar ones come to mind.

I like my Junghans Mega 1000 reversed LCD watch. Supports USA/Japan/Germany atomic bands and has dual time to boot.

Also my Seiko ana-digi SNJ017P1 Flightmaster supports world time for 28 cities and has an EB6 slide rule.

I had my Casio Multiband5 with me in Europe, synced every day beautifully.

You can't go wrong with a casio g-shock multiband6

What kind of travel are we talking about ? Do you need a 'field watch' ?

I'd say get something solar-powered, tough wearing with good world time functionality anyway. Multiband 5 or 6 (6 means China is included) is nice too but I think the other functions are probably more important.

These days almost any of the newer Casio G Shocks will fit the bill and are hard to beat for bang for the buck. Are you looking for a G-Shocky style or something more subtle ?

No a field watch is not required. I have not left the US in quite a while, but might in a few years. A dress watch style would be preferred.

From the G-Shock range I would point you towards the GW-M5600BC. Its, obviously, very tough. Solar powered, and Atomic Time-keeping (multiband 5 - so most places excepting China). Has a great and accessible world time function too. Looks great with jeans and a t-shirt. On the stock bracelet it is extremely versatile - looks absolutely fine with more formal stuff as well.

If you don't like negative displays, loads of the GW-5600 series have the same functionality and similar looks - but they don't come with the bracelet as stock and I think something about the negative display on the GW-M5600BC looks sharper with a dress shirt.

I just got the i-range model in my sig. Its extremely dressy - very sleek all black design. It's has the same multiband and equivalent world time function and is described as 'shockproof' and also has tough solar power, like a G. However, its water-resistance is unfortunately only rated to 'daily use' and the finish on it looks to me as if it will be a ding-magnet, so it might be a good choice for business travel but not for anything which will take you out of a suited and booted environment.

As a curve-ball - I love the MTG-910 in my sig as well and wear it to a suit frequently. It hides quite nicely under a dress shirt.

I bought the GW-2000BD in my sig as a versatile travel watch which will go ok with formal wear but can also take a beating and do the activity holiday stuff as well - but that's an analogue.

Did you look at Tissot's T-NAVIGATOR 3000? I sure like the looks,and darn tempted on getting one myself.

Not looking for an ani-digi model. if I were, I would buy the Aerospace.
Coler which I-range did you have in mind?

Seriously, if you want a high end, dressy/sporty LCD watch, the Junghans Mega 1000 is simply hard to beat:

The only one I have myself is the feller in my signature - really sharp looking, but poor water-resistance and likely scratch/ding magnet based on the ultra black finish. Those are the only two cons. Otherwise its atomic (multiband 5), great world time function set, 24 hr stopwatch, 24 hr countdown timer. Good with a suit - not great for anything lively are my thoughts.
