Suunto watches are made for outdoors and rugged weather. I would say the plastic band would hold up beautifully in the shower, ocean and while working out. As for the scratch resistant face, I would say no, from what I read it is Mineral crystal glass which isn't the best at resisting scratches. Might I add this is a nice watch, if I had the cash to spare I'd be all over it! May I recommend which I would get. On Suuntos site they say you can make your own "Military' version, I think it would look best of any of the above, here's what they say...."Core Military Edition? Despite what you may have heard, be aware that there is no factory-produced 'Military' version of the Suunto Core. You can, however, create your own 'Military' Core! Here's how: What you'll need: * One Suunto Black-Orange Core wristop * One Flat Black Elastomer Suunto Core Accessory Strap with LugsHow to do it: 1. Remove the orange strap from the Core watch 2. Replace the silver 'pins' in the Flat Black Accessory Strap with the black ones from the orange strap 3. Install the black strap (with black pins) on the Core body 4. Sit back and savor the stealth "This is what it would look like.http://www.suuntowatches.com/assets/product_images/alternate/300/102493CALLBLACK-1.jpgSorry if I overdid the answer.
