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.

The white is perfect for me. I highly recommend it.

Next one will be Red.

Congrats buddy! Just don't spend time on the watchuseek g shock section, you will end up with a whole bunch of them. Come to think of it, I will be selling my G shock fisherman over there soon

wokafu · 24 February 2011, 03:56 PM

Just got my 3rd G-shock...love the classic squarish look in black..feeling im back to my good old school days.....well worth a 100bucks

TattooedGQ · 24 February 2011, 11:59 PM

Get this...My father is a mechanic....he actually SPLIT the rubber case of one of the old square jobbies...right down to the metal case....it fell off and still worked...he refused to get a new one for about a year. I <3 the G's

dandan · 25 February 2011, 06:19 AM

Love your G shock. Really want to get one too.

Brunotheboxer · 25 February 2011, 06:46 AM

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.

Gshocks ??? Ugly useless pieces of plastic,not worth even a single buck. Don't buy them......

I would have to agree.

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

MikeyMouseWatch · 27 February 2011, 11:08 PM

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.

would you be able to let us know which G Shock(s) has disappointed you in the past and what did you use them for?

G-Shocks are known for its reliability and toughness.... its like making a blanket statement of - Rolex is crap because it doesnt do what i wanted it to do.....

clew84 · 28 February 2011, 12:17 AM

I like them - I don't have to worry about them at all. Here are my 2:

Got to agree with Eric here. I have put my G-shock through a lot, and that sucker hasn't even flinched. This may be one of the first times that I have heard someone with specific complaints about durability and operation. The aesthetic won't appeal to everyone (and that's cool - everybody shouldn't like the same thing) but my experience with these has been nothing but positive. Bruno's position is similar to that of many G-shock (and Seiko Monster for that matter) first time owners. Getting this much watch for such a small cost has a lot of appeal.

I don't believe any of what you just said. Sorry.

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

I used them throughout my days as a university student. I don't remember ever doing much rigorous activity with them, unless you call swimming and a little bit of diving as rigorous outside activity.

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...

gypsy jim · 1 March 2011, 09:09 AM

I got this for my son. $220 USD. Great value, cool looks, solar and atomic. Jimmy

ducatigirl · 2 March 2011, 06:57 AM

i got 'mini's' for my lady wrist!

Brunotheboxer · 6 March 2011, 02:12 AM

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?

that thought came to my mind when i read it.... oh well

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

)

STEELINOX · 6 March 2011, 02:39 AM

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...
