Spotted this on HUKD and I know there are some G-Shock fans on here... I can't justify a new watch at the moment, but if I could this would be tempting.

AW-5941MS-3AER analogue / digital combo for just over 20 squid delivered from Argos on eBay.

I'm a sucker for a bargain. Will probably end up giving to someone for Xmas, as didn't realise it was a canvas strap which ain't the best.

Anyway, I imagine most of these bought, will reappear on eBay/Amazon marketplace with a healthy markup in a few months. Seems to be a whole industry built on hoovering up all the proper bargains on eBay/Amazon then reselling them.

I think I got one of the last ones. In honesty, I'm not sure I need one so it may well be a present for someone. For £20 it seemed rude not to.

I thought so; it's remarkably like the one I have in my draw which I never wear:

Hmmm wonder if it's the ones that were in the catalogue
Looking grey/black but were actually green :/

Either way it's cheap as chips for a G-shock!

It might be cheap, but it sure is a 'busy' design. Shame I need a plastic watch...

So the seller was Argos but not the shop called Argos? So is the 12 month warranty worth anything or have I missed something?

Have you ever needed a Gshock warranty. My oldest one is 1998 but are jealous? 😉

lefty - it is proper argos so I would be surprised if you have any problems with warranties etc.

I had to return something from them just this week and you can do it through argos shops. I used collect + and got a credit note in 2 working days.

Argos have also done a big tie up with ebay over the last few days too.

Not being funny, but are you new to eBay/online shopping?

Anyway. This explains why they went so quickly. Guess there was a 25 user limit.

Sorry, but unless you:

- are under 30, or
- have [b]big[/b], manly, hairy wrists
- have a serious action sport as a hobby that necessitates such a watch (I'm talking arctic exploring, not running/cycling)
- work for casio

...why would you wear a watch that looks like it was designed for a 12 year old boy?!

EDIT: I'm aware I'm probably about to get slaughtered for saying this...

No, you're going to get slaughtered as I just drove past your house and saw this fella in the garden:
