Speaking of resistant, this watch is also water resistant to 100 meters.
The movement on this wrist watch is jeweled and best of all, you aren't limited to the straps that come with this watch. Literally anything you can fit around the pinless construction of this watch face will enable you to use it as a watch band. If you want to design a band out of beads, chain or other materials - go for it and make a watch all of your own design to share with your friends.
