Hi all, I'm looking for a new rugged watch for the times when I don't want to risk my nicer EDC watches (a citizen and a seiko)
It'll be used for bushcrafting, climbing, DIY, working on the car and anything else where I'm likely to scrape, hit or otherwise dammage the watch.
as such, I'm looking for something that's relatively inexpensive, since it's not going to be used much, and is basically disposeable.
I realise the classic choice would be something like a basic casio G-shock, but given the choice I would prefer:
I'm not too worried about what sort of strap comes with it as standard, unless it comes with non-standard strap mounting points, since I can allways replace an innapropriate strap with an inexpensive NATO type band.

I realise the classic choice would be something like a basic casio G-shock, but given the choice I would prefer:
- analogue - I don't really get along with digital watches anymore. especially for outdoors use
- GITD hands and/or face and/or backlight - I use it outdoors for camping, night hikes and so on so I need to be able to read it at night.
- rotating bezel - less a requirement, more a asthetic preference.
- maximum spend of about £40
