Never thought I’d buy a g-shock but....
Just ordered this ...

I have liked g-shocks for a long time but just never saw one I liked enough to order. With a world time function this will be a great watch to travel wearing. Also, I tend not to wear mechanical watches for golf and don’t wear my current crop of watches to water parks etc. This can fulfil all those functions for me. Cheap too! Look forward to getting this one now. Decent dimensions too!

It's certainly not the foregone conclusion you suggest and the advantage is I don't have to wear something that looks like a G-Shock! :biggrin:
If I want something to bounce, I'll buy a Tennis Ball! :winkskull:

A fair point - I guess the essence of a g shock is as a proper ‘beater’ that can withstand nearly anything you can throw at it. They are ugly and utilitarian (I must admit to liking the ‘classic’ models like the 5600 - newer bling versions leave me cold) but that’s part of the charm imho. They are designed to be very tough which happens to make them a bit ugly!
