Who needs all the other crap on it, it's just showing off.
I do, cos otherwise I get lost
That's why I've got the whole UK 1:50k OS maps on my phone... 😀

Not much use underground or in a big building 🙂

This one but not the Japanese import.
Bawbag, what's that? Best thing on here, apart from paulosoxo's caseless model...

I have one of these. Bought for about £60 at an airport somewhere or other I seem to remember. Years ago. Well over a decade ago.
Not powered by anything as crude as a battery, I'm sure of it. It seems to go on for ever, and ever, and ever. Will be terrible when I have to replace it!
Flash, is that not a laydeeee's wris****ch? For feminine wrists?
😉
Have to admit I'm very tempted by more than a few of these, as long as I can fit them round my rather skinny arm
You feeky little chucker!
It's pretty large, actually, but not in the stupidly large sizes many watches are appearing in now!
Protrek and Gshock are nice. Casio are my most trusted watch brand.
However for the more discerning gent, you really should consider a nice Oceanus:

TITANIUM:TICK
ATOMIC:TICK
ANALOGUE:TICK
Also has saphire crystal and an alarm.
Best watch ever.
Had but three G-shocks over the last 20 years, one lost, one the strap pin holes wore through, and now this beauty:

Big clear numbers, simple display.
Never buy a watch that can't be used as a hammer.
Off to the shed to pull the case of the old gshock in my toolbox 🙂
I have this for walks and cycling, though an HRM is coming so will use it sporadically when that arrives I would think.

I have this: [img]

G-056b
Don't like wearing a watch while cycling, so it's getting used as my normal watch. I have a titanium Citizen for the business casual look 😉 and a Atlantic Worldmaster for when I need to wear a suit.
Three watches might seem like overkill for some, but for me it's like having 3 bikes (mtb, cx and a road bike) :-). The Atlantic would look stupid while wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Citizen is the most versatile watch, however it's too nice to wear it as an every day watch. The g-shock makes me look younger as well 😉
Incorrect - paulosoxo wins! What's that model?
It was a DW-9200K from 1997/98

Mine, with 3 years of trail mud stuck to it.

Mine was bought around 1995 (1 battery change in that time) and still gets used on most bike rides...

Bit stormtrooper but I love it.
Bawbag, what's that?
It's a GW-M5600BC. Solar charge and radio sync so zero maintenance.
This is mine, all full of titanium atomic clock solar powered goodness, not to bulky either, I wear it 95% of my waking hours...

^ That's the one I wanted - but was rarer than hen's teeth when I bought mine!

I've got a G-7710-1. Worn every day, it's the only watch I've had that's lasted, aside from one of the original Animal watches which went on for years.
I've got the same as squiff, fathomer and stevenieve
aah like this thread!! 🙂
big fan of G shock watches and have loads over the years.. and not 1 has broke 🙂 the current fleet..2 at the back left knocking 10 years old and taken lots of abuse haha

I have a DW5900 and a G7710, the DW5900 must be around 20 years old now, it's fairly basic on functions but to this day it is still going strong.

Bought this a few months back and it's all I use now, may sell the others.
I guess this is about the only G-Shock I've found that I would actually buy, although I'd get adaptors and swap the strap for a NATO nylon one; plastic straps give me a rash.
[img] 
[/img]
[edit] that Oceanus is nice, although its still got three too many dials for my liking... 😀
[edit edit] How much! Just had a Google, and they've been discontinued, now called Edifice. Still going for over £700!
I'll stick with the £50 one I posted up. My Seiko was only £350, by comparison to the Oceanus.
Had the chance to buy this rare GA-110F 2JR a few months ago for £300.
It's now on Ebay for £1300

Tis gopping though.....
Yeah, it's not exactly subtle.
Think it was a design exercise to show how many colours they could use.
Tis gopping though.....
It's beautiful!
And ebay it shall stay.

There's always one... 😆
My G-shock died after 11 years. I now use on of these...

Photo of my new one and old one and no, i don't wear thenm both at the same time 🙂
Have been a fan of G Shocks for a while. I've just sold two that i've had a draw for years - surprising the level of interest they generate.
Loving the new watch - analogue (nice for a change), solar (no battery changes) and atomic (never losses a second).

Always the correct time.

Had it a few years now and is my non-work watch of choice.
i got a gshock for my 18th birthday off my uncle
within a month fixing the horn on my car i managed to rip the strap off .....
it managed to create a bending moment between my wrist and back of my hand and im sure that caused or at least helped me to break my scaphoid the dent and scar its left in the back of my hand is still there to the day.
I managed to break the strap AGAIN
then the alarm stopped working and i threw it in the bin . for my 21st i got a titanium seiko of my grand parents - its nice.
what do i wear every day without fail .... f91.
some nice bits of kit here but i couldnt ride in them , too big
My G-Shock - Always the right time, solar power, nice easy to read simple clear dial compared to some, bombproof. I work in the trade and have had, and broken, some nice watches from "better" brands over the years but this ones going to last I reckon!

Loving this thread!
My one is the gw-m5600, which I don't think can be faulted. Never loses a second, is powered by light and the light comes on automatically:

Enjoying bawbag's and andeh's version too.
guess this is about the only G-Shock I've found that I would actually buy
Just like the new Rolex Explorer (39mm case), the hands are too short....
G-7710-1 that's lastest years and stil going strong and a new white GA-110C. Love em!
