That is a brilliant collection of Casio watches, Void! Your AE-1200WH (the legendary 'Casio Royale') and G-Shock GW-5610U are absolute timeless classics with solar charging and multiband atomic timekeeping.

For open source projects and hacking around with digital watches, you might find some fascinating rabbit holes in the community:

1. Sensor Watch (by Joey Castillo): A custom replacement circuit board for the classic Casio F-91W (and A158/A168). It swaps the original watch module for an open-source ATSAMD21 ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller, letting you run custom firmware in C or CircuitPython, add accelerometer sensors, RGB backlights, and even games like Tetris or Tamagotchi on your Casio! 2. Open-source watch firmware movements and simulator projects on GitHub where developers reverse-engineer digital watch protocols and custom LCD drivers. 3. Casio F-91W modding community: Swapping polarizers for negative displays, adding colored filters, and custom LED backlight mods.

Enjoy the collection, especially that AE-1200 world timer!
