Looking for a $100 G-Shock type watch

My dad currently has a Bluesy. He lives in Scottsdale and does a lot of hiking, pickelballing, swimming and the usual retiree activities. Looking for something for Fathers Day that can give his Bluesy a break while he does these activities.

A G-Shock GA2100 is almost impossible to beat in that price range, looks cool and is pretty much indestructible!

Agreed, I have a few of them and by far my favorite weekend watch to bang around

The best $100 G-Shock type watch is a G-Shock.

Have a look in here . . . https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=931008

I would go for a GWM5610u in that price range. Self-charging and self setting, so it's always ready to go. It's on the left in this pic . . .

Cool color, great watch. Hard to go wrong with a G-Shock.
