A cheap watch for work, recommendations please?
I'm volunteering as an ambulance driver in some of Houston's more unsavoury areas, so have decided to stop wearing my Rolex during the day for security and safety reasons.
I'm going to get myself a "work watch" from eBay, but don't know much about digital watches, are there any particular models / brands that look good and perform well, and any features I won't be able to do without????
Was thinking G-Shock, but from the look of it there are hundreds to choose from. Looking up to about a hundred quid, I guess.
Cheers!

You can get good watches cheap. No need to spend up to £100. Check out some of these. You can trust the site.

G-Shock definately. There are some models out now which are solar powered and synchronised by radio signal, perfect. Also they're really waterproof so you can easily rinse the blood and faeces off them at the end of your shift.

G shock is good but predictable
How about a Seiko Monster?
rubber or metal strap available
Mine has taken some serious knocks when climbing and still works 100%

I like the protrek range, cheers! I didn't realise I needed a compass, barometer and altimeter on my watch, but having read about these features, I think they will come in very handy! And they look as if I shall be able to clean all sorts of bodily excrement from them come dinner time!
Actually, I quite like this one, ideally I want anolouge hands too, which I couldn't find on the protrek...
