Of course, it’s the only watch that doesn’t break like a fucking toy. You surprised or what?

>>18676292
even cheap mall watches don't break over decades of normal use

>>18676293
Wrong.

It's a perfect design, like the 1911 pistol and the Fender Stratocaster.

>>18676297
I have no idea what could you possibly do to destroy a watch, unless you start smashing it against all objects around you like a retard kid. Which would be still fine for the most of Casios.
My AW80-1AV works well after years of rain and close encounters with rocks and metal handrails, my AQ230 survived a lot of brawls.

Bro Ibe invented the G-Shock exactly because he broke his mechanical watch and was fed up with it.

>>18676287
For people who need something "that just works" and they are hikers or campers or some shit yeah they will never stop glazing these.

They are not supposed to be pretty or classy at all, just functional and durable with no nonsense. Basically the pickup truck of watches. If they were trendy at some point that is just because it is trendy. At some point recently IIRC striped polos were in. And barrel pants. I didn't and won't give a shit if something is in style or not if it makes you look like a ten year old wearing it and striped polos etc are that. Are G-shocks that? No but they do look like a shitty watch for kids, even though they absolutely are not.

As for me I don't have any unusual tastes, I like Seikos and Tags etc like any rando. I don't dislike Rolexes but the prices running away on them make me just roll my eyes. A watch shouldn't cost more than a car unless it was platinum and studded with diamonds etc which I mean does happen too, it's just more of a jewelry piece at that point to me however.

Made of resin instead of plastic which is more durable and long lasting. Is waterproof to 200 meters of depth. You can use it as a hammer and it probably wouldn't break. Has a large aftermarket so you can mod/replace parts as they break or fall apart. Has a cool and iconic design reminiscent of Y2K futurism. The cheapest one is 60 dollars which I think is more than worth it. The more expensive ones come with bluetooth/radio sync so you never need to reset the time.

It is my gwb5600. Assume you have a resin gshock, you can find the metal case for your corresponding model on aliexpress. Depeding on your skill level, you can try the screwdown caseback mod too, but you will have to remove the glass from the original inner case which could be destructive. For straps, search for the lug adapter for your model.

G-shocks enter that weird territory for me where unless you are doing some sort of extreme sports/activity, the question is always why? Even if the watch breaks on you, is not knowing the time going to fuck you? Unless you are doing a week/month long foreign trip or scuba diving, etc. Not knowing the time for a day trip is a nothingburger.

If you are like >>18676508 and claim they are “cheap”, then why not go for a f-91w? They are sturdy watches that can take a beating, and if you are so active/adventurous that you bust through 5-10 of them in one lifetime…then sure, the g-shock was probably right for you. And congrats for surviving all of your wicked adventures. Its when I see guys own multiple g-shocks and wear them to their office job where I just sort of roll my eyes at the larp. At least with something like a Garmin, it is clearly a fashion statement/money flex as well as a larp.

The real "weird territory" is for sport G-Shocks like the pic rel.

It would take a lot of effort to damage one. The resin case is resistant against all the accidental scratches and the water resistance is surprising. It's an outstanding utility watch. But do you really want to be that cheap?

I did but the strap broke and it cost almost as much as the watch to replace. I have never had an issue with a G-Shock strap, I enjoy the functions (I actually use them) and it's easier to navigate.
>guys own multiple g-shocks and wear them to their office job
G-Shocks were designed to be a regular watch that didn't break. Whatever use you imagined or fantasized about is unrelated to the watch.

They literally do though

G-Shocks are literally the Glock pistols of the watch world. They are a no nonsense practical tool that is for actual workers such as myself (warehousing). They just work. Plain and simple. No need for updates or having to charge the battery like in smartwatches. There are people out there who still have the 1980s version of the DW-5600 square watch and they still work as the day they bought it (battery swap of course).

Wearing a watch for status and shine is for pure fucking losers who are the true larpers of society.

Plenty of people own sports cars yet never take them to the track. Plenty of people own pick up trucks and never haul anything. It's okay to own something just because you think it's cool, even if you've never going to fully utilize it's ability or use case.

As someone with both a G-shock and actual mechanical watch I personally think it's really nice to have a watch that I can mow the yard in, or go to the gym with, or go on a hike and sweat on it and not have to worry about if it's going to be okay through that stuff. Sometimes it's nice to have overbuilt things you can use everyday and not have to stress over every door jam or desk edge you accidently banged your watch into. Will a $20 FW91 also survive those things? Probably, but it's nice to know that it's not even a question with the G-shock.

This. That's a perfect analogy. They're both respected by casuals and serious enthusiasts. They're both used by people who own expensive guns/watches and those who own really cheap/guns watches.
