..>> quartz inherently is more shock resistant because of virtually no moving parts inside [yes there are very few mechanical pieces]. While it's a sturdy watch and will take day to day wear, it's not in the same league as a g-shock. I am extremely active and some of my watches don't make it. I now use my g-shock or an old seiko for tough stuff and my SMP007 quartz for regular daily use. One reason I got the quartz is because I shoot frequently [on the police side of the shooting range] and I believe it messed up my Seiko kinetic. If I'm stuck on duty with my SMP I'll wear a special nylon guard.
Hope that helps,
Ron
