One bad drop, and a broken rotor would render a Rolex useless. I can't speak for all digital watches, but every G-Shock I've owned have taken hits and drops without issue - they're made for it. I thew my first G-shock against a cement wall and it didn't even have a mark

I have jumped out of airplanes and dived to over 330 feet sea water with my Rolex. Not to mention many, many high G impulses from my unmentionables. I think a Rolex will be just fine.
