Cheap waterproof holiday watch

[xyz123]

Hi, - unlike most on PH, I can't afford to spend a lot of money on a watch at the moment. I am after a rugged waterproof watch for holidays.

Most obvious choice will be Gshock but they are too big for my small wrists. I looked at baby G but most are aimed at girls (e.g.black face but Rose gold hands etc)... I know there are many cheap casio models around but I wanted to see if I can get something a bit better than that so can use it for few years...

Any suggestions ? Ideally don't want to spend more than £100.. .

Thanks

Thank you so much for suggestions..i will take another look at g shock . I wasn't expecting these many replies considering this is PH... Thanks again.

You won't go wrong with that, fits your brief a treat..although it's quite large at 46mm?

just saw this. It is around 44mm end to end but really strangely it doesnt feel large at all. I have in the past tried 43-44mm normal watch and it was too big but this one for some reason doesnt feel as big (maybe because the screen itself is not too big).

I like it quite a bit but two gripes. It was only £40 so i will keep it...

1. I cant seem to find instructions on how to change date format to dd/mm rather than mm/dd. looked in manual but couldnt see anything...

2. When using dual time set-up it shows current time and time in other location all ok. But the date on screen follows the secondary time i.e. if i set time in London and secondary time as Australia. the date follows Australian time..manual seems to confirm this so not possible to change it...
