Garmin Instinct 2s solar. Designed for functionality, dead reliable, useable under any circumstances. It is what actual explorers use nowadays. Eta: just saw the quartz criterion. That eliminates any actually relevant watches.

The squircle actually made me leave Galaxy Watch altogether for a Garmin Instinct 2 Solar. I love having my watch actually look and feel like a digital watch with the always on MIP screen.

Garmin Instinct 2 Solar. Period. A proper navigation system (Unlike the Rangeman who lacks any navigation whatsoever), GPS, Glonass, Galileo, HR and O2 sensors, Alti/Baro, Compass, fitness tracking, smartwatch functions, infinite battery life under certain circumstances, a long long list of features
