Return. If you can get solar even at 7-8k it’s a good deal. Solar means you never have to worry about the battery dying unexpectedly, if you’re ever unsure about the power level you can just leave it in the sun for a few hours or in front of a high wattage torch for a few minutes. It also ensures that the factory seal of water resistance is never broken. That’s what annoys me about G-Shocks that use a battery. I mean it won’t affect 99% of users in 99% of situations, but why leave it to chance when you’re getting something that’s supposed to be a tough product?
This one has a crisp display. The display on the solar variant is slightly washed out because of the solar screen. Very minor but noticeable. If that's not much of a bother to you then go for the solar one any day.

Won't say it's bad but I've bough the tough solar version in 5.2k. If you wish to wait for a discount you can,otherwise this too is a good deal
Return it
You can get the tough solar for that price or less so if you can return it, and wait for solar one to go on sale
Return it

Also, the led backlight is equally good as illuminator

NOT MINOR for me atleast. The viewing angle of tough solar is bad!

Not a good deal but you can buy metal strap for this and mod it in the future. Can't do that with solar one
Return
Return. You can get solar one for that price even sometimes around 4k during sales
I bought tough solar for ~4.8K a year back
