Thanks for the above two posts...
As far as specific activities go, I cycle a LOT, and while I tend to do lots of hiking/rock climbing, I don't wear a watch during such activities. While not ideal, I would consider a quartz watch from Omega... is Seamaster the way to go with respect to quartz?
I am also amenable to the suggestion of the second poster (I currently have a g-shock that has taken the abuse in stride). I think that the only other concern that I have is that I live in a part of Canada that has VERY cold winters, so thermal shock is a bit of a concern even if I am not doling out physical blows to the watch.
One of my concerns with having an Omega watch to wear during 'relaxing' time is that, as I understand it, many Omegas require wrist movement for proper function; if I only wear it for a few hours (8-9) each day, would that be enough movement? Granted this isn't the case for a quartz...
I really appreciate the advice that is being offered. Hopefully there will come a time when I can provide the same level of help.
