Looking for a rugged and waterproof phone as a back up for use in boat and kayak.
Don't need a smartphone, just want something tough and reliable, with good battery life.
There are a few on ebay but they seem suspiciously cheap.
Any Real World recommendations?
I got a fairly cheap MTT dumbphone from Amazon. Â Water resistant, small, light and can be set to ring quite loud which is useful for outdoors and in the pack type usage. Â Think it cost 30 quid or something.

Have a look at JCB.
I have the JCB Tradesman 2 as my:
-Smalll enough to fit in front pocket of 'farah slacks' without causing a bulge.
-Waterproof
-Can be dropped from height without breaking
-Long battery life (typically gets charged every 7-10 days or so)
Phone.
It's pretty decent for all of the above. Negatives are lack of predictive text (which may or may not matter to you)
