Watch recommendations

Posted this on EDCforums, but no results so far. Hoping things'll be different here.

Looking for something with a solid open/split bangle type watch with a slightly flexible stainless steel(or some other comparable alloy) band like this, but with a longer band. Something relatively easy to slip off and won't tear off chunks of my skin/flesh. My wrist diameter is about 11 inches. Also, I want it to be cheap so I wouldn't mind tossing it if I had to.

Basically, I'm looking for a tactical watch that I can use "tactically".

If you want tactical, get a black g-shock. If you want something that actually looks kind of nice, get a Seiko.

Can I use either of those "tactically"?

Somewhat serious. I do realize that this is a pretty ridiculous mall ninja-ish request.

What the hell do you mean use tactically?

Sturdy enough to use it as an impact weapon. I don't care anymore, though. I'll just get a normal watch like a normal person.

You're joking right. . .You're going to attack someone with. . . a watch? You have better luck using a rock you picked up off the pavement. When I was little, I learned that you must use the right tools for the right job. Save your timepiece for its job. Looking at the time.

Yeah. I'm looking at their expansion band watches. Wondering if they'd fit a 11" circumference wrist.

I use an Omega Seamaster with the orange bexel and replaced the SS band with a NATO style band. I find it fits better and not loose. I have attached a link to a picture of watch that is exactly like the one I have...http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3482/4036933063_c682f31a4a.jpg
