I don't own a G-Shock but I have three Fossils from back in the day.

No Casios of any kind at the moment, but I'm grabbing a Riseman (G/GW-9200) as soon as they become available.

Sorry guys, I know they are very tough and have a devoted following, but G-Shocks just remind me too much of the watches I had as a kid. Great when I was 10, but not my bag at all these days.

They certainly have their place as hardy tool watches that will keep going forever..... but just not on my wrist! :)

I have a G-Shock, not sure what model, I just bought it at a Super Target for around $65.

I love it actually. Even though the only Ling I have is the SO, and is considered to be more of an everyday watch, I just can't seem to keep it up at college with me in the event that something may happen to it. Because even though it is an "everyday" watch it is still quite expensive.

That being said, I wear my G-Shock for things like painting, working out, etc...

My current everyday watch is a Swiss Army Maverick II Chronograph.

I have a G-shock! I love that thing, I wore it for years before I bought my Rolex. I have an image on my pc I believe, but I don't know how to post it here :oops:
They're great watches to beat around!

Like lots of people, I have a G-Shock for wearing on the beach. Only comes out to play for a couple of weeks a year but does exactly what it says on the tin!

I'm quite taken by a new model which looks far more in keeping with what I think a watch should look like.

I have a couple of G-Shocks from several years ago...my favorite is the G-Shock Giez...model that was sold initially just in Japan. I picked it up on eBay about 3 years ago. It is a nice model with a titanium case and rubber and titanim strap. Ani-digi with two separate stopwatches. I think it is a step-up from the normal all rubber g.
