Bit OT even for the OT section I know, but, my watch has just knackered up and I need a new one.

Looking for something half decent in terms of robustness, accuracy, waterproof for obvious reasons, and not something that you would have to cherish. i.e. a watch that will take a bashing but still look half decent for everyday use.

Cheers

i just tend to use metal Swatch skins. hardly notice they are on, don't tend to catch on things.

I had similar requirements to you a couple of months ago and ended up buying a Casio AWG-101-1AER - Radio Controlled Solar G-Shock watch.

It is a combined analogue/digital watch which syncs to a radio signal and automatically adjusts to summer/winter time.

It works with radio signals in the UK, USA, Japan and mainland Europe.

As a G-Shock watch it is very tough and waterproof.

The clincher was that it is solar powered so no battery changes required.
