Any HCPs here? Recommendations for a nurse's watch as a gift

My sister's just started medical school and I'd like to get her a nurses's watch for Christmas. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the choice so any tips on good brands/popular choices? She's a mature student (43) and I'd like to spend about £30??

My only recommendation is should be a plastic/rubber/silicone one that is fully wipe able for infection control purposes.
I’m NHS and we are not allowed to wear the old style full metal ones.

That's helpful, thanks. Any particular brands that you'd recommend? x

I’ve only ever bought the Argos ones Grin
One clock face and 2 rubber outers.

I have this rotary one and while all others have failed this one is going strong. It has even been through a nice long 60C wash and survived.

That Argos one wouldn't be OK at my work, because it's got all the fiddly bits so isn't easy to clean. You're best getting a rubber one as they're fully IPC compliant. You can get them with glow in the dark hands and things if you want it to be more fancy
