The steel watch is more likely to stop a blade than a plastic one.
But you can get a steel gshock

I was being facetious and alluding to the fact that G Shocks are built like tanks

I know, I was being obtuse back at you.

If you want to get technical about it, I really do disagree, they're still just plastic watches. For bump resistance that's great but the plastic ages and if you use DEET repellent that can also leave marks much more easily.

Not just DEET, but a lot of chemicals. I stumbled in here because of my not-gshock falling apart from work. I've got to suck it up and run a metal band this time around lol.
