Classic but modern pocket watch?

I am in the market for a classically styled but modern pocket watch. Something that is the best of both worlds. I would like it to have a clock face rather than a digital display. Plus be waterproof and tough. I tend to loose wrist watches (the bands break) and hate dragging my phone out to check the time. I think a nice simple yet durable watch that fits in the coin pocket of my jeans or in a pouch might just fit the bill. Stainless is a plus. I guess I don't need a clam shell. P would like to keep the price very reasonable. $200 but hopefully a lot less.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks for your time!
 
I remember reading an article on Worn and Wound about these modern pocket watches. Sorry I can't comment on the quality of these time pieces. http://www.mmtstore.com/

I myself have a new half hunter Rotary pocket watch, probably not durable enough but a fantastically beautiful piece.
 
Thanks guys!
Looks like I have a lot of reading to do.
The Seiko looks beautiful. What was my budget again? Lol

Are these pocket watch the old school kind you gotta manually wind?
Can you still buy those?
 
I have had fifty or sixty watches watches and have never had a band break. I had one twisted off my arm in Morocco, though. What on earth do you do that you break bands? As mentioned above, Seiya has some very nice pocket watches. I have my great-grandfather's Santa-Fe pocket watch he used as a conductor, but I never would carry it.

Mostly just cheap watches, Timex and Casio and being dumb I guess. I have lost a few catching them on wire fence, ladders and man ways and looked down at the end of a long work day to find my watch gone. Your great grandfathers watch sounds like a beauty. I will look at the Seiya watches.

Thanks everyone!
