I own a Seiko 5 and Iīm mostly satisfied with it. Itīs fairly accurate (about 3 min off per week) and pretty robust. It has a self winding movement. It only winds in one direction and has no manual winding. I donīt like that too much but itīs not really bothering me too much.
I prefer stainless steel bands as they are robust, long-lived and easy to clean.
Maybe a pocket watch could be an alternative for you. There are robust ones and they can be kept were they are protected. If you decide to use one, donīt go for a self winding one.
