Nice Lume, rubber strap, for outdoor activities?

[pdnb]

budget ~$150
Costco has a Citizen professional diver: bn0016-04l for $162

like it, but don't love it. for reference i have a panerai 201a and 183 which i think are too nice/fragile for outdoor activities/swimming

Any suggestions

Casio G-Shock.
Most under $100, tons of models to choose from:

Auto dial illumination on many

You just about can't kill these things!

Thanks LM-
Actually forgot to mention i have a G-shock already. I was looking for a non-digital simple face

See if you can find a Seiko 200m Diver. They are virtually indestructable...

Most G-Shocks are analog or combo. But yeah - not simple.

You could scour Ebay for a Seiko Orange Monster, but hard to find quite that cheap.
You could also look to see what Invicta might have. Not sure how good the lum will be.

Everything I can think of with really good lum is at least 2-3x your budget. Sorry.

I also recommend the seiko monster. I bought my orange one a few months ago from world of watches for about $130. From reading a seiko forum i found out that every once in a while they have the monsters going for these great prices as a special deal. The watch has lume that is better than my gen planet ocean chrono, it came with a bracelet but a rubber strap is available and it has actually kept good time. Great watch overall.
