FWIW, my Seiko SKX173 fared in my recent mugging and assault far better than I did. Guys couldn't pull the thing off my wrist and still looks brand new. The bruise on my wrist from them tightening (instead of loosening) the stock Seiko rubber band is going to be around awhile, but the watch just keeps ticking right along.

For the money, this little watch is pretty tough to beat imo.

I'm hardly wearing my Mont Blanc quartz these days.
