What do you guys think of G-Shocks?

Recommended Posts

AustinTech

Well, I picked my G-shock. I hope I like it. I order it via e-bay and it was $90 with free shipping.

 

I like the Mill SPec g-9000ms that Col posted above the best, but everyone says that it is very difficult to read the display. Since I don't do ninja missions anymore, I'll get something more legible.

 

Anyway-here it is. THe "five eyed monster."

In the spring and summer I do too much stuff that would break an automatic movement. Instead of nothing, I'll wear this.

The G-Shock posted by aneki looks great.

 

I've been looking at the Tissot T-Touch Expert for a while now. Maybe that's an alternative? If you like gadgets, like I do :-)

 

(Get the "Expert", though. It can be used when swimming)

G Shocks in general are very FUGLY watches

 

maybe you should wear no watch if your clients are that bothered?

Here it is, a warthog on a wrist. Not pretty, but it was nice during my workout.

Well I like them! Got one of my own that I wear for mountain biking: solar powered so you never need to worry about it running out on you (I know, you guys would like it to run out - of the door). A proper go-anywhere watch that, to be honest, isn't pretty enough to get too worried about it getting battered, which is ideal in this case.

 

So, AT, nice choice :boobies3:

This thing looks pretty good but it costs around $1,000 minimum! That kind of cash opens up all kinds of gen options, so puts Mr-G down the list a bit.

they might not be lookers, but damn are they functional. thats of course, if you need the functionality and the durability. I'm trying to get hold of a Riseman (9200) myself for when i go mountain trekking and outdoors stuff.

According to this official site http://g-shock.jp/ prices for the MR-G are ranging from Y105.000 to Y315.000 (from around $1200 to $3500). Some of them are Titanium made!

 

Anyway too expensive for a Casio :rofl:

Ya, it's a nice watch but not THAT nice. You can buy an Ebel, Omega or a Breit for that.

Which aren't worth 3000. It's all relative. Just larger relative.

True. Show me any gen that is "worth" the asking price.

Half of it is promotion costs. A Sub costs about 6 to 7 hundred to make

and 3 grand to advertise.

Here's a few fantastic gens for mucho less than $1000.

Invicta and Casio.
