Indestructible watch?

[BlackVanDyke]

My best mate has a kid with autism. She's lost 2 watches to tantrums this week and is being despondent about even bothering to get another watch. I'd really like to get/contribute towards a watch that's going to last the course for her. She's muscular and strong, a serious amateur road cyclist and has a fairly manual job but likes generally feminine stuff. I suspect that 'indestructible' and 'girly' may be mutually exclusive, though.

Thoughts?

TIA

Thanks very much gents. That first link looks flipping brilliant to me. I've a hunch that the 'baby G' thing may not go down well on someone who outsprints dudes on a regular basis (girly but not too girly is not something I know much about!) but there's an awesome purple one in the G shock store, that also might work quite well...

purple sounds good

[Pints]

Mrs Pints was never really bothered with watches, especially since every previous watch she'd had just didn't really last. I convinced her to get a pink Baby-G about a year or so back. Now she doesn't leave the house without it on her wrist.

Work, gym, shopping, housework, dealing with the HalfPints - the Baby-G takes it all in its stride.

Edit: her watch is similar to this. Only £30

My choice would be a Baby G because of all the useful functions. They're just as tough as a "proper" G. I've got a Baby G and have taken it climbing with no problems. This one looks good: http://amzn.to/17XaeFG

The Red one looks quite girly Pink, good price too, I think Hoofy has seen them for less than £200.

I've thrown one against a climbing wall no problems. Made a very loud bang, though, as it's quite chunky and metal.

Edit: actually, OPer, if she fancies this one (http://www.watches2u.com/watches/ballistic/bws102-mens-all-brown-watch.html) I don't wear mine any more so we could do a deal that beats that price by loads.

Hm this one looks nice, too! http://amzn.to/16t8dka

I have a plain black G-Shock for this exact reason - it's indestructible.

It takes all manner of hammering, smashing, banging etc and still looks like new and works perfectly.

I have four g shocks, the wife has a baby G; they can look tatty after a while in certain colours but they will not break!
