Reply With QuoteI feel the same way about G Shocks, I know I should like them, Ive had several, but never keep them.
Well a mixture of Amazon, mobile phones and my own ability to resist temptation. In the last month I've managed to buy two G Shocks whilst sat on the toilet simply because I was bored.
Thank God I only buy cheaper watches when I perform my morning ablutions because I could end up a very poor man.
I just tell myself that G Shocks don't count as real watches

You must either stop using the toilet or get rid of your mobile phone. Or both. ;-)
F.T.F.A.
Amazon Prime Now is even more dangerous

I thought id feel the same, have a box of autos but felt i wanted to try a gshock. picked up a gw5610 on a whim.
It instantly became as valuable to me as any of the autos.
- Its styling heralds back almost exactly to the original G-Shock.
- It is entirely "in house" & has a great company with a great history behind it.
- its impeccably designed for its domain, a great marriage of form and function.
- Its retro 80's styling just appeals to me.
- Its insanely functional, e.g
- solar powered. there are quite a few reports of solar gshocks still running after 20 years without out issue on original battery.
- radio controlled, dont need to set the time
- multi time zone, which is useful to know when family are awake across the world
- bomb proof, drop it from 100 feet, leave it outside for a week, freeze it, doesnt matter, it will just keep working.
- Its styling hearalds back almost exactly to the original G-Shock.
Some weeks i just wear the g-shock as its nice to occasionally not have to worry about setting the watch or think about, check/record accuracy.
I’m sat here reading this whilst taking a breather from gardening - thought I’d wear this today as it’s been in a drawer for what must be nearly a year - still showing a high charge, synced last night- like the cockroach of the watch world!IMG_5315.jpg

Brilliant things. I bought this off the SC probably 8 or 9 years ago for 20 quid. I've been garden all day every day for a week. You can just about make out Mrs Parabola on the Micro JCB in the background. By gardening, I mean we've got rid of a hill, lowered the front of the garden, raised the back and dug 18m of foundations for a retaining wall

Can that excuse be valid regardless of how many g-shocks one has amassed? Or is there a limit? (asking for a friend...)
No limit as long as you keep posting pics is the rule. Quite sure.

If you need to get rid of some I'll happily dispose of them.....especially your, I mean your "friends " MR-G's😉
That's really classy..................
Not sure if better or worse than the guys in public toilets with their tackle in one hand - while talking into their phone.
I think they're both pretty sordid in their own way. Especially when they neglect to tell their missus

How short must an attention span be to take a phone into the toilet? And think of the hygiene implications...!
Just disconnect for 2 minutes!
