Metal digital wristwatch with four alarms? Go!

I purchased a Coleman watch about five years ago - for 25$ after taxes - which is no longer produced.  It's a trooper, let me tell ya.  Had the battery replaced twice since the original purchase.  Anyway it's finally dying for good-- the glass is cracked, some of the LCD segments don't work any more, and I dropped it recently helping a friend move, so now the bottom-left button sticks.

 

 

Must Have:

four or more alarms (i.e. an alarm to go off at 0700, 1200, 1500 and 1730 each day)

configurable alarms based on days of the week would be fantastic  :D

solid all-metal construction - I don't want a cinderalla watch, this needs to be tough.  think Ford F-150 or Carhartt jeans

water-resistant, at least enough for handwashing, heavy rain and whatnot

Timer (I know they all have this, but just sayin)

Large LCD digits  (on my current, they are roughly 1/4" to 1/3" tall)

bright backlight  (from the button, not constant :P)

Admittedly bad pictures of my current watch for reference:

Get a cheap cellphone and tape it to your arm!

 

My father has been buying Casio watches for years because of the built-in alarms, calendars and so on. I couldn't recommend a model, but I figure it might be worth a look around Amazon just to locate one with the features. I just checked and you can specifically widdle down the variety by choosing search features like "digital," "alarms," and so on.

 

I hope that helps some.

Why did I forget about Amazon?  Sheesh.  I find it quite enjoyable seeing "1-20 of 132172 products" when pulling up the Watches category :D

 

Anyway, thank you.  The only one I found so far is a plastic Casio, neither of which are my fave, but it's the only one i've found so far with four alarms:

Apparently this Coleman is/was a rarer beat than I thought :(

This one says 4 multi-function alarms and one snooze. G-shock watches are really quite tough and can take a beating. You should look for more options in that line if that suits you. Excellent value for money.
