I am also on my second Casio radio-updated solar watch. Not because the first one broke, though. It's fine and still as accurate as ever. (Mine has a metal band.) In fact, out of all the watches I've owned this one was the toughest, by far. And I'm tough on watches. I just wanted a model with more features.
I settled on the Pathfinder PAW-2000T. It's outside your price limit at around $250, but I was sold on the amazing list of CN relevant features* on this watch.
Long story short: I love both of my Casios and I am sure a slightly lower priced model will still perform quite well.
Regards,
Sean C.
