I'm pretty certain any mechanical watch would be destroyed - with the rubber band curving around the back of the watch when off the wrist, and the recessed crystal with no hands to drop off or moving parts, it's not really a fair comparison. In day to day life most mechanicals are rugged enough, surprisingly so when you consider all the little wheels and gears - put you can actively try and break a g shock and have no luck, which I've always thought is pretty cool even though they're fugly!
