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!

I’m not sure what type of lab environment you are in but it’s probably best to remove watches, rings, and other jewelry. If it could possibly restrict movement or get caught on equipment while working its a bad idea.
