Tough watch for £100

[Kickstart]

Looking for suggestions for a watch suitable for an off road bike trip in Southern Africa
I know everyone says G shock but I prefer a swept hand

Plenty of G-Shocks have swept hands

I think you can find tnem on ebay uk.

Cost me 37 quid plus 12 quid for an aftermarket strap.

Screw down crown. Waterproof. Rugged.

Check tne number and level of reviews on amazon.

Really is a nice looking watch. Nuts for tne price.

Forget tnat it is a casio.

I've been wearing a CWC G10 (one I bought of a PHer actually, E91 Gaz he was selling a few of them). Military surplus stuff so the assumption is that it is pretty tough, and cheap to sort out when it goes. It's stood up to 2 months of me wearing it to work (spanner monkey) without any marks appearing on it, it's also fairly light and low profile which is what you want when your out and about instead of some big heavy flashy thing. Would recommend them.

A lad I work with wears an old USSR era Vostok, supposedly they can take an absolute hounding for an automatic, plenty of them about for cheap too.

I rarely look over the watch section on here. love that. looks great and a bargain. not keen on £100+ watches so this is something i'm adding to the list of 'must have' watches.

I ended up buying 2 and a cheap nato style nylon strap and a cheap metal strap.
So far tne first one has stood up to 2 full days in water parks.
Much nicer in tne flesh as well.
Love it.
