[Advice] Watch for LE/Military (alien.top)

Is there a watch manufacturer that makes automatic watches durable enough for law enforcement officers or military? Tough enough to withstand combatives and weapons hitting the face. It was my understanding that automatic movements can’t withstand a lot of abuse. I’m in a LE role and would rather have an automatic watch over quartz.

Armourlite makes watches with “shatterproof” glass. MWC makes some good automatics and quartz watches that are pretty tough. I looked into a Marathon Navigator but the plastic bezel was prone to falling off.
