The 10K I was gonna drop on a Daytona is now getting invested. I mean why would I ever buy another expensive watch again? Someone call me on this and tell me how thats against the rules. This is the most comfortable watch I ever tried on.
Two years ago I bought my Rolex. Last year I bought my Panerai. This year I bought this for $90, and you know what? I'm just as happy and satisfied with it. |

Try amazon. They have a lot to choose from. I got more comPliments on this watch today than my sub has in the past year.

I had more than one in the past, NEVER AGAIN! The watches look as cheap as they really are, which puzzles me why someone would waste 100$ on one, when you can probably find a fake Rolex for around the same price. If you spend 100$, you're spending at least 90$ too much on these. In every case it didn't take any time for the watch band to break, followed by the water-resist never being water resist. Do a little diving and you find out how G-Shock thinks 100m is really just 1m or something. In all cases I've thrown them out in the trash after a few years. I'd be embarrased to wear one these days. |

Dude,I was being sarcastic Gchocks are the best watches around bar none. I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience with them but there's no question the most durable automatic watch can't stand even half of the abuses a Gshock can take. And I'd rather stick to a Gshock forever than buying a fake Rolex |

I wasn't sure if you were or not. But the fact remains I've always been very dissapointed with G-Shocks. I still stand by my arguements, they are far too over-priced.

Just do a search and you would know G-Shock is the modern day tool watch for people in serious businesses. |

I'll have to spend time an look through a list to pick out the ones I had, but like I said, the first things that seemed to always go was the rubber bands. In fact, ever since then I can't understand why more expensive watches like Citizen's SkyHawk comes with a Rubber tire attire (I know, aesthetics for pilots). |

I have the stomic solar g shock... LOVE IT. it is my watch of choice in gym and around house... most importantly, its the watch that I use to set time for all my mechanical watch!! You can not go wrong with g shock, I am thinking about getting a white one too. Another casio watch i would recommend lookin into is the Pathfinder with more tech then you can hope for into one watch...

For what I got this watch for it's perfect. 10/10.
I can do anything at all I want in this watch with no fear at all. To the guy that had a problem with his g shock I'll bet you bought a fake by accident. How could you possibly break a real one? |

i think i'm having a G-Shock itch again and started looking at the Hyper-Color ranges again. came close to getting an Orange or Lime Green on not long ago.... i should probably to to the G-Shock store to check it out and see which one they have in stock i probably end up with a black with green dial one in the end (much more subtle than the other ones me thinks ) |

Here's my two.
A classic DW5700 from the 80s; a very collectible 'screw back' G. My other is a world timer with a 10 year battery life. Excellent timepieces. The 5700 has been with me on travels and has never failed. I dont think CASIO makes a 'screw back,' G anymore btw...
