Any recommendations for a simple and rugged watch that’s easy to read for my aging eyes?
I currently have an Instinct Solar, and while I like it, it’s getting kinda hard to read without my glasses on, and honestly I really don’t use much if any of the functionality on it. And I’ve found notifications on my wrist are sometimes more annoying than what they are worth.

Simple, rugged, easy to read, and illuminated would be cool.

Let me know your thoughts

I like the G Shock… but are there any with larger displays or hands? The digital ones I’ve seen seem to have small displays like my Instinct

Casio GShock GD-350 is one of my favorites. It's got better digital screen. It was my watch for the most part on the booboo bus.

4th vote for a G Shock. I’m young and ditched a smart watch 5 years ago happily. Lots of versions that are great. I wear a DW5600 while hunting.

Timex Expedition Shock with Indiglo. The Indiglo is the best back light, helps to see rime at night. They make one with a vibration alarm, set it for 30minutes before sunrise for waterfowl hunting.

Currently use a Citizen Eco Drive Titanium, just a watch with luminescent hands, tough, accurate, lightweight, and no battery to worry about. Date sucks and wish it hand more numbers.

Why not just change the face on the Instinct to something more readable and turn off the notifications?

I have some sort of an issue with quartz watches and they never work long on my wrist. For everyday I use a Meistersinger M2 but the hands are not luminous. As a hunting watch I have a Seiko 5. Not a bunch of things I don't need and the luminosity is good.

Just checked and the Meistersinger is not a M2 but rather a No. 2. The Seiko is in the safe, have to get it out later.

Citizen eco drive sport watch. Specific model escapes me. Thin, light, black glow in dark dial and date. No batteries or charging
