Hi OzBs,

Mrs/Dr willyroo does remote medicine, including RFDS. I own an Oris big crown mechanical, and the RFDS Oris certainly caught my attention :)

However she needs:
* utter reliability tending to ruggedness
* second hand
* date
* no bigger than 35mm
* function over form
* I have to research and present a shortlist

I'm pretty well down to Seiko solar, although the Seiko Ladies SXDF67J is everything needed, apart from no maintenance.

Suggestions greatly appreciated…

(edited for clarity - it needs to be new, with a sweep second hand - not "second hand")

    I thought by second hand, you meant not brand new. No one refers to analogue watches as second hand, unless they are indeed, second hand.

  Get a digital watch. Won't necessarily have a second hand but something just as good.

  Seiko Women's Solar Two Tone With Black Dial
  Any experience with this line of Seiko watches?

  Will look at Eco-drive too, thank you.

    Never had a seiko but can vouch for the eco drives. It’s the same premise, powered by light sources.

  I use Swatch watches. Relatively cheap, silicone options for easy cleaning, free batteries, various sizes and funky looks.

  Take it from a teacher - kids love looking at them and they take a beating.

  Thanks all - will compile something for her.

  The Swatch suggestion came through in the end - 34mm Ultraciel $81.50 delivered
