Nah. I have plenty of G Shock pieces but all in the $200 range. Some cheaper.

I may be wrong but doesn't it say on the link that it has a Titanium case and bracelet?
I like it. Sounds like a quality product although I'm not sure what half of the things it does actually are. $3K seems a bit high, but hey, it does a lot of stuff. No good to me, it would look ridiculous on my scrawny old wrist. I could see the young "Action Guys" going for it as a 'status symbol' around the Fire/Police Station.

It's expensive but then so is a Breitling Colt for what you're getting. |

I think that the G-Shock is a great watch and I have worn one for years doing difficult task that I will not use my other watches for. Around $200 is where I am in the game for. I have seen some of the ones for thousands of dollars and would not spend that on the watch.

if you have a $15m daytona, this would be a good beater.

Yes I would ... when I ran out of other +$3k watches to buy
MRG are great, they are hand made, all metal, tough, nice use of material, has the latest technology, etc. Buy them pre-owned and you will get heck of a watch for a lot lower than MRSP. Still, the recent ones are no $400 plastic watch, but they are well built and built to last, as least in terms of built quality.

Paid $800 for my Maharishi collab ed and absolutely love it. Wear it hiking, on almost all international flights and places where I don't want to be overtly flashy. Love the lightweight, look and the world / home time functions are just brilliant. To each their own I think.

I love them and have quite a few. I wore a Data Bank for 20 years. But I would not pay a grand for one.

no one is going to be a fan of this either then, I'm guessing... https://www.ablogtowatch.com/casio-g...edition-watch/ Zakalwe is right, once you spend more than a few hundred on any watch that's not PM, it becomes all about touchy feely, brand values, heritage and marketing speak, and other emotional stuff, so you can't really throw stones at someone who likes a $$$$ Casio. ( that objectively does everything a Rolex does, but better) I'll spend more than is sensible on watches, action figures, sneakers and selvedge denim, but probably not more than $40 on a shirt, ( and that's the kind with buttons up the front.) Personal preference and all that.... |

It's a lot of watch for the money, like many things it will have it's fans and collectors while others won't see the value. Imagine paying $15 million for a 3rd hand old stainless steel Rolex that doesn't even have an "in house" movement!

I think I paid under $100 for my Atomic model. No interest in a $3000 model.

I have a black MTG which looks very close to this one. I paid around £550 for it ( I think rrp is £1000). They are tough as boots and can take a real hammering. If your in the police or forces they make a good tool watch.
