Hope this is the right spot. I tried looking in the FAQ and buyers guide a bit but figured talking with others may be more productive.
I am looking for a new watch- looking more so for function over form. with a price range of $100 or less.
I constantly work outdoors in some remote areas and am looking for something sturdy that it wouldn't be a big deal getting muddy or other random junk on. I also lifeguard and would appreciate something that I can keep on while in the water and wouldn't have to worry about damaging.
In the past I've found that metal straps are difficult because I have a pretty small wrist and removing the sections is usually a pain.
I'm not sure if there are any other factors that I should think about or consider but would appreciate help from the community thank you.
If you have smaller wrists the Casio mtd1053 (40mm) is smaller than the Casio Duro and has the same specs.
If you are in the US you could take a look at the officialwatchdeals store on ebay.
Get this eco-drive field watch bm8180 if you want something small. It's worth the money and it's solar powered.
If you want a diver get the bn0151, bn0158 or bn0150. It's definitely worth the extra $50. These are ISO certified divers 200m watches and have been individually tested to meet that standard. These are robust and wear smaller than their size would suggest.
