Tell me about G Shock watches

Mine told the correct time for 6 months of the year, a complete PITA otherwise. I prefer watches where you don’t need a manual to figure out how to change time and date.

I really quite liked it, but the PITA factor won out in the end and now it sits unused in a draw.

For a rugged cycling friendly watch I have a Luminox.

The battery on my Solar powered model needed replacing…

I got it done and 2 months later the watch broke!

I have a bit of G-shock fetish

Yes, in white. I have no shame. Also have the same as the first one posted and a couple more. One the dog savaged quite extensively but still works and one of these

I lent that to my son and haven’t seen it since.

They’re ugly, comfortable, apparently indestructible and have large enough displays so I can still read them. Their size also prepared me for wearing my Fenix 3 🙂

That WR-200M is the one I’ve got, modded to take a NATO-ZULU nylon strap, but it sits unloved upstairs because I got so pissed off with it gaining five minutes a month, and it being such a ridiculous PITA adjusting it.
All three of my analogue watches take seconds to adjust if necessary, why does an analogue G-Shock have to be such a pain?
My fifty year old wind-up Yema is more accurate than the G-Shock, which amazes me; they’re supposed to be really accurate according to people on here.

My GA100 is 5 years old & still going strong, although the glass is a little pitted from grinding sparks landing on it & there are a few dings in the case. It’s my work & biking watch, too bulky to wear with shirts and now to scruffy to look vaguely smart. If it ever dies I’ll have another.

A Gulfmaster Sir?

I’ve got one of these, love it, although I did replace the orange strap for a black one. That Gulfmaster is very nice

A Gulfmaster Sir?

Booyah!

I’ve got that one. It’s got an ECG trace on the screen and it’s always bugged me slightly because it’s not a normal ECG trace. One possibility is that, like a lot of non-medical uses of ECGs, they just got it wrong. A simple error that no-one would notice except an eagle-eyed medic.

The alternative is more intriguing though; the ECG appears to show an ‘Osborn wave’ which is a late sign of hypothermia. Given the watch’s rugged intentions, is it possible that this was intentionally drawn? If so, am I the only person to recognise this? Am I overthinking?

Had the Combi one pictured above for several years. Apart from a bit of difficulty setting alarm or dual time due to small size of the screen and numbers the only problem is I seem to be allergic to the strap if I wear it for a long time – my wrist comes up in an itchy red rash. Got a new strap and it did the same. Also remember reading that other people had similar experiences.

A Gulfmaster Sir?

Sorry, but it was annoying me.
