Galaxy Watch 3 durability for construction worker

[Android Central Question]

My husband would like a Galaxy Watch 3 for the health monitoring. However he works in construction and gets into dirt and sweat, etc. Any input on how the watch would hold up in this?

My concern with that environment would be getting dirt/grit into the bezel dial and not being able to turn anymore. I have read that it is a cheap easy fix to replace them though.

This is a valid concern and I'd also be concerned about nicking and scratching the watch while at work. There are protective coverings that can be used but they do add some bulk to the watch.

While not in construction I am a kitchen designer plus. The plus is sometimes aiding on deliveries, receiving products, loading trucks, arranging and staging in the warehouse. I wear my watch constantly and I have seen no noticeable wear however I wear my watch with the face on the inside of my wrist. The noticeable drawback is the waking motions often time do not work as intended but it is a tolerable compromise for no damage. I hope this will help you with your decision.

I don't think dirt and dust would be good for the watch but so far mine with light dirt and dust has been ok.
