Rugged everyday watch (self.watches)

I am working on my PhD mainly doing lab work. When I first started, I bought a Tissot LeLocle Powermatic 80, which I absolutely love. However, in the lab, there's a lot of hazards for an automatic and I started taking it out fairly often. Is there an automatic that's not too expensive (ideally under 500 but sub 1000€ at most), somewhat magnetic and shock resistant? Been thinking that I'd like to get a Diver, but not a prerequisite

Thanks for your help, cheers!

If digital is your thing, go with a Garmin Fenix (sapphire faced). My job was very, very dirty and rugged. I made construction workers and heavy equipment operators look clean. That thing is bomb proof, once I added a screen protector and a plastic (removable) cover for $20.

Battery life is insane and you get all the notifications etc.
