Robust watch that's not HUGE?

[2YardOfLard]

Mrs Lard needs a recommendation for a small or medium sized watch that's waterproof and tough.
She has small wrists. She's out in all weather training & working the dogs (& the weather we get here you'll be as wet some days as you would be going swimming) so it needs to be properly waterproof.
On-line searches are not getting her anywhere - if you put "womens" you get a list of ones that are pink with kittens on, or sealed, single use fitness step counters; if you search "waterproof" "shock proof" or "scratchproof" you get a list of ones that are 5-6cm across & stick up 3cm!.
She says if Suzuki Jimny made a watch that would be the one for her!!
Any inspiration guys?

Otherwise a G-SHOCK https://g-shock.co.uk/

Old man's watch!

Not in the new colours they have just launched, very much aiming for a younger market I would guess.
Always think of the Day Date being aimed at the “older market”.

Try googling 'boys watches' rather than 'womens' you might find something more useful.

Had my first Rolex as an 18th Birthday present. Still going strong and worth a lot more now than it cost back then.

I've never liked the bubble on the date models.

My stomach tells me the time , it's never wrong but whilst it's not huge (yet) i doubt it will fit on anyone's wrist

Google 'G10 watch', which will probably bring up 30 different manufacturers versions based on the military 'G10' style, which should be fairly compact and robust. Adverts will always say 'mens', but they're not that big. Should also be available with tritium illumination which will glow in the dark for years, or cheaper luminova versions. Cheaper versions have perspex 'crystals', better versions will have glass.
She might need to add another few holes to the strap with a hot pin.
