I assume you mean a watch with a chronograph?
I have been wearing a Tissot Titanium chronograph for years now, it is a tough, working man's watch, yet formal enough to be worn with business clothing.
I have 'tested' it on multiple occasions by taking it off my wrist and dropping it about 4-5 feet onto various surfaces, and that does nothing to it.
Works fine under water too, I haven't taken it very deep though.
Doesn't have a light but you can see the dial in the dark.
It isn't too fancy, but I like it and would recommend it to others.

Thanks for asking Inder. I am doing well, just been a little busy, although, I have been frequenting the forums all along, just haven't posted much.

Most chronos seem to work fine. The only one that I had any problems with was the first one that I bought - used to be heavily advertised for air gun use.......That used to get very confused when attempting to measure the velocity of a .22-250 and used to provide all sorts of randomly bizarre readings.
One thing that I`ve learnt is NEVER to loan a chrono to someone else. I did once and the unit was returned with a neat bullet hole throught the control box. I can imagine someone not setting up the screens properly and hitting one of those but find it difficult to believe that the person concerned was such a rotten shot as to hit the box. I`m not the only one who has experienced that `problem` - exactly the same thing happened to a writer on a UK shooting magazine just a few months later.

Inder, buy any one of the Shooting Chrony models. Even if you buy the cheapest model, you can upgrade it to the top model specs or inbetween if you feel it is necessary.
