I like my Casio A168, I just wished it had dual time, solar is nice to have.

So, is there an available Dual Time watch (showing 2 or more time zones at the same time) that's decently readable for the main and alternative timezone(s), has a good backlight, and that's not very thick and heavy as a G-Shock?

I already have a Casio GW-M5610U, but looking for something thinner and lighter than that.

Casio A500, Casio CA-53, Casio AQ-800 (ana digi)
Thanks.
Interesting, I was eyeing the A500 as a more compact version of the AE-1200.
And as for Casio AQ-800, I was looking at a more compact version the Casio AQ-230.

Is CA-53 the Casio CA-53W calculator Watch? If so, I have one, but I couldn't find a way to display a second time zone at the same time as the main one, and there's definitely no backlight.

Thanks. Is there a way to view both the local and one of the time zones at the same time? Sort of a GMT.
No, there’s no way of viewing 2 time zones at the same time. However, this model has a feature where 4 different time zones can automatically toggle on the lcd screen and display themselves continuously one by one on the lcd screen. So basically, you can see your home local time and then see 3 other different time zones of your liking every 2 seconds. You can set it to display whichever time zones that you want.

I'd recommend Casio W-93H or W-800H, both smaller than a G-Shock and both can display the second time zone simultaneously with home time.
I like W-93H more due smaller case size (I'm a small wristed guy) and more functions (countdown timer with autorepeat, and stopwatch with a target time).
W-800H also has a countdown timer but it is a "hidden" feature and you have to physically mod the watch to be able to use it (and the stopwatch does not have a target time function). But it is 100m water resistant and has a 10 year battery (W-93H is 50m water resistant and the battery will last around 3 years).
Both watches have good backlight, although W-93H has a "negative" backlight (the digits light up, not the watch face), while the W-800H has a standard LED backlight.
W-800H is on the left and W-93H is on the right, F-91W in the middle for size reference.
I put both watches in the second time zone mode, so you see the size of the digits of both time zones. W-800H shows home time at the bottom, while W-93H shows home time at the top.
