It has survived significant (accidental) abuse from smacking into door frames and various other immovable objects, with only minor cosmetic damage and no noticeable loss of performance.

I could tell a similar tale of an ancient Casio. Unfortunately I did find the one way of destroying it, the fires of Mount Doom for digital watches. And you don't need to journey to Mordor, the crack of doom was casual dragging across the tile cement used in municipal swimming pools. I'd swear the watch was proof to all forms of abuse other than that, but the tile cement obviously contains something hard enough to scratch the mineral glass face. And on an inexpensive watch a very badly scratched face isn't economic to repair.
