Default After a new watch for work

I need a new watch for work, these are the ones I'm looking at:
Timex Expedition Aluminium Trail Mens Watch T44082 **SAVE £10** £29.99 - Timex - watches and jewellery from Shock
Tiktox - Home » G-314RL-1AVE
Currently favouring:
Tiktox - Home » Casio Watches » G Shock »

I'm after something tough, waterproof, with either glow in the dark display or decent illumination, hands as well as a digital display, clear display with date, and something not too expensive as it may get broke. The budget's £50

Opinions?

hi mate , just to let you know from experience, the g shock is brilliant (ideal for working conditions) my other halfs lad has one (he breaks everything) and it is after 2 yrs in excellent condition. it was also reviewed on the gadget show some time ago were they played a game of ice hockey and used it as the puck. it took a right hammering before any real damage was done and came out the winner in their tests. so imo go for it, money well spent.

Get yourself one of these: accurate to 2s per month, waterproof to 50m, plastic construction, (difficult to scratch, virtually unbreakable), complete with alarm and stopwatch, battery life of TEN years, and cheap to boot.

The G-shock's the front runner at the moment.

Casio GW-M5600-1E/BC, best watch in the real world.

Tiktox - Home » Casio Watches » G Shock Atomic »

You can get the non bracelet version for about £75 if you want to go a bit cheaper. I prefer the bracelet on mine though.

After much thought and deliberation I have gone for this one....slightly over budget but I would do without food for a few days to make up the odds.
