why do so many people pretend they respect and like g shocks ?is it like a huge meme to trick idiots? (like /g/ thinkpads)
>>18676287G-Shocks are only for hard cock guys.
>>18676287i dont know who would pretend. they're durable and for a moment in the late 2000s/early 2010s were fashionable.
>>18676289there are endless of "watch experts" who make it a point to mention how great and respected g shocks are
>>18676290Of course, it’s the only watch that doesn’t break like a fucking toy. You surprised or what?
>>18676292even cheap mall watches don't break over decades of normal use
>>18676293Wrong.
It's a perfect design, like the 1911 pistol and the Fender Stratocaster.
>>18676297I 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.
>>18676348Bro Ibe invented the G-Shock exactly because he broke his mechanical watch and was fed up with it.
You clearly aren't a tier 1 operator... I wouldn't worry about it...
>>18676287You're just poor. G-Shocks are based.
>>18676506G-Shocks aren't expensive. The most expensive ones are like under $300.
>>18676287I bought a couple, they're really uncomfortable to wear and look way worse than I expected.
>>18676508>$300>"expensive"My point stands.
>>18676510esl
>>18676521you don’t have a bidet
Casio is awful to wear.
>>18676805this is just untrue the g-shock bracelet is insanely comfortable
>>18676806If you have a thin wrist it’s not. Sometimes even the f-91w and the smallest models are annoying on the wrist.
Literally looks like the watch nerds wore in high school. The ones with skinny wrists who wore new balance shoes and ran to class instead of walking.
>>18676508The most expensive ones outside of the luxury line are $700
>>18676806Bracelet? Even so the case is wide and flat.
I stopped wearing Casio in general for awhile cause all the browns started but now all I see them wearing is Citizen and Longines so I never wear those brands anymore
>>18676961Still not "expensive."Try going back to school and getting a better job, brokie.
>>18677001Lmao imagine suggesting education as a way to not be poor. You are literally lower middle class at best.
>>18677003>lower middle classI had to look up what range this was because it's not anything I ever have to think about. I don't expect you to believe me, but I personally make over four times the max for "lower middle class," and my household income is even more than that. What does a lower-strata guy like you think is the way to make money? Putting masturbating videos on Only Fans?
>>18676972based brown observer
>>18676508The most expensive G-Shock is around $400k. The MR-G models are around $4k, $8k, $10k.
>>18676287I'm merely pretending to like G-Shocks.
>>18677003An education gives you the greatest chance of not being poor.
>>18677064The greatest chance at not being poor comes from being born to rich parents.
Cougars love the white gshock for some reason
I like mine okay. But i don't wear it much.
>>18677201Yeah. Because only old people care about watches.
>>18676287The G-Shock is one of the best timepieces and mass-produced products ever created.>>18676972This. Rolex is in a bad place because of this and it's about to get worse with the secondary market flood.
>>18676287For 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.
>>18677071So have parents who aren't poor. Easy.
Just posting the best gshock
I wanted to get the GW-5000HS-1, but now I am worried about microscopic plastic shedding from the strap being absorbed by the skin, I can see that happening
>>18677924lol what
>>18677638>spending money on a casioHAHAHAHAHA look at this fucking dork
>>18677027yeah they make stupid expensive ones, i feel its an intelligence test. They must laugh at people who buy them back at the factory.
>>18678021How often do you buy a Casio? No point in being stingy when it's a purchase made once in a decade.
>>18678032>its good i spent thousands of dollars on a glorified casioyou do you man
>>18678019microplastics bpa etc
>>18678050I bet you also believe polyester pants make people infertile

>>18678041>200 euros (sale)<thousands of dollarslol at you
>>18676287I own a DW-5600E. Is there any reason why I should pay an extra $100 for a DW-5000R?
I just got one. I like it.
Anybody have the MIP version? GW-BX5600-1ER. Is it a direct upgrade to the classic (currently solar) one, like a next generation?
>>18678430>I just got oneGot "one" of what?
>>18679197>"one" of what?probably the thing in the picture i posted, retard
>>18679226You didn't say which model, retard.
I just got the ghost in the shell edition g shock from japan and i'd agree with >>18676865. does the strap ever break in?
>>18676287>is it like a huge meme to trick idiots? (like /g/ thinkpads)Yeah trick idiots into making sensible purchases that just work
>>18676348>AQ230I like this
>>18676530Sick burn. Because most people DO have bidets. Unless they're POOR, right?Fucking useless troll.
>>18676865If you have a "thin wrist", perhaps normal man watches are not for you.
>>18676972>I don't like things I liked because people I look down on now like those thingsIt's sad to see this. I see it on /tv/ all the time. Such and such is "a reddit movie" so I don't like it if THOSE PEOPLE like it too.This makes no fucking sense. It's not "based" to be that way. It's insecure and immature.
>>18677001You don't have anything. There are no rich trolls who spend their days calling people poor online. I don't understand what motivates you fucking losers.
>>18677924Fucking schizo. This whole microplastics fear thing is silly enough when it comes to food and water. Now you think plastic just disintegrates at all times and clogs your fucking pores?LOL, you need to go outside or learn something or meet people. These are not valid concerns you have.
>>18676972it was always a terrorist watch that's what made it based
>>18677638Mine just got delivered today, bought the green one.
>>18684948Well let's see yours on your wrist then. Why the stock image if it was delivered?
test
>>18684953because i'm in work.
>>18676287>why do so many people pretend they respect and like g shocks ?you gotta respect a watch that says G-SHOCK (gangster shock) and PROTECTION on itif you wear that it means you're solid
>>18684969Okay, work’s over. Show your watch.
>>18685100I like it, here a size comparison to my other g shock.
>>18676287G-Shocks are to watches what Hummers and Cybertrucks are to cars. It's for men with fragile masculinity.
>>18685679Dumbfuck gshocks are the only watches that aren't fragile
>>18685983which g is this? i like it
>>18685997DW-6900
>>18686469Operators don't wear gay watches that say "Frogman" on them.
>>18685983Id on gloves and jacket?
>>18686469Why is it called frogman
>>18686868It's the name of their dive watches. Of course dive watches rarely if ever get used for diving but at least the GWF-D1000 has a working depth meter and thermometer (works best for water since on air you have to take it off or it will just measure your body temperature.)
>>18686872That's petty kewl
I like really girls who wear gshocks
>>18685983>she fell for the marketing
>>18687033When I'm bored at work I'll swing my G-shock by the straps against the metal cabinets to make clanging noises. There's literally no other brand of watch you can do that with.
>>18686868Frogman is an unofficial name for navy seals and other combat divers. Navy seals like to announce to everyone that they're navy seals, but I would assume wearing a watch that says frogman on it would be kind of cringe.
>>18676290I trust them more than some fag on 4channel.org (aka you)
I have a few. I think they're fun. There's a lot of different styles. I'm not in to designer watches and heavily prefer a digital watch to an analogue. Also need something durable and easy to read for work.
>>18687428Why can't you figure out how to post a photo that's upright?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkDDqv3ypxoIs there a version of this without the Bluetooth spyware?
>>18687506No
>>18687496photo orientation is saved in metadata stripped by 4chan
>>18687912Edit your photo first. Crop it a tiny bit or alter the brightness or any number of things. Or put it on your computer and then upload it. Do anything but just continue to post sideways photos directly from your phone like a retard. You're only cheating yourself. People ignore sideways image posts. I'm nice enough to teach you how it works. The least you can do is change.
>>18676287I have worn that one everyday for the last 10 years
>>18686747Soldiers don't call themselves "operators", dingus. lol
>>18682762Its not good for movies since you watch those by yourself but its completely reasonable for fashion since its in the public eye.If you see undesirables dress a certain way, you'll be brought down by association if you wear the same thing. That said, you can fee the undesireables tryharding with fashion the most and it does nothing for them since they're short and ugly.
>>18688168What's that rightmost one?
>>18676287What's the difference between this and a $10 digital watch from walmart?
>>18688708Made 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.
>>18688694G-Shock "King" GX-56
>>18677057do they literally only tell the time?what a fucking shit,
>>18689122Thanks!
>>18689155They have an alarm (which I admit is kinda shit), and a timer/stopwatch which I frequently use at the gym. I know they make some models that can sync to your phone for more features that you'd get from a smart watch like a step counter but that kinda defeats the point for me
>>18688720This one that I've got was like $15>Black resin case with blue top ring; case diameter 1.5 inches (40mm)>Water resistant to 330 feet (100M)Lasted about 5 years before the battery died and I get another one
>>18689183>Lasted about 5 years before the battery died and I get another oneYou get your oil changed at Walmart huh
They are awesome to use, fun to mod, enjoy your g shock my friends.
>>18689200I responded to this about oil changes and Walmart and someone removed it. WHY?
What does the G stand for?Gay??
>>18689790Is this your pic? Can you tell me more about the mods? I really like the strap.
>>18676287I don't own one but I think they're pretty cool if you have a certain lifestyle or hobby that justifies it
>>18689835Probably g's as in g-force as in gravity, as in you can throw one out of the empire state and it'll still work after hitting the floor (the shock).
>>18689952It 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.
>>18689835goy
>>18676287G-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.
>>18690061Thanks anon, it looks really nice.
>>18690261Garmin is a money flex and a fashion statement? A fucking smartwatch? Wow. What planet are you from?
>>18690270>>18690271Your collective seething makes me know that I’m right.
>>18690261I wear my Casioak to the office. Also in a trip to the mountains, the river, the sea. Above all, I wear it because I like it, it's comfortable and useful to me.>Garmin or any smartwatchThat's not a watch, that's a watch shaped computer. I'll stay with my G-shock.
>>18690261You buy one if you want a high quality everyday watch with some rugged aesthetics. Analog digitals from the 2100 series and digitals from 5600 don't look out of place in an office.It's not different than those all paper pushers wearing expensive automatic diving watches.The real "weird territory" is for sport G-Shocks like the pic rel.>f91-wIt 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?
this is a personal grail for me>>18690261gshocks are uniquely chunky and they come in lots of bright colors. many outfits work best with a gshock or similar watch. I heard reggaetoneros are known for wearing them
>>18676287Casio, in general, makes garbage for bix noods and ledditors made out of the worst chinesium steel. Only stainless steel I have ever gotten contact dermatitis from in my life. I pity the poorfags who have to settle for that garbage.
>>18690261I wanted one as a kid and now that I'm an adult and can buy one I did. Same reason I bought my larp truck raptor.Got both second hand for half off. "Flexing" has nothing to do with it.
>>18690261>why not go for a f-91w?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 jobG-Shocks were designed to be a regular watch that didn't break. Whatever use you imagined or fantasized about is unrelated to the watch.
cant even really explain what i like so much about it but it might be my favorite watch
>>18690925>ledditors and chinesiumYeah, you're pitied as well.
>>18691050>leddit spacingNot exactly the gotcha you think it was
>>18686747They 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.
>>18691919My poorfagometer is off the charts
>>18688654Normies in the military are "soldiers." Those in the special forces, e.g., Delta Force or Navy SEALS, are called "operators."
>>18690239goy shock
>>18690261Plenty 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.
>>18691986>t. guy who has a meltdown over a 1mm scratch on his entry level rolex he bought after 3 years of waiting
>>18691919>G-Shocks are literally the Glock pistols of the watch worldThis. 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. There are those who will dismiss them for being cheap, "plastic" blocky and ugly, but what they cannot ignore or cast aspersion on is their durability and utility.
>>18692766So many of my coworkers have smartwatches, yet I rarely ever see them glance at the time.
>>18676292I've never spent more than $100 on a watch and never had one break on me, does gay sex chew through watches or something?
>>18676287>>18676290There are two things happening. 1) G-shocks are genuinely good watches and provide great value for money.2) "Watch guys" have to glaze a budget brand because if they only talked about expensive luxury brands, they'd alienate most of their viewers. They're pretending to be men of the people. It's like how politicians and richfags eat at McDonald's to look friendly and down to earth.

>>18698336>Indian AI trashThere is an actual American flag g-shock.
Gshocks are peak. I have this one with black screen that looks cool and it has the advantage over mechanical watch that it's always accurate and sets itself and isn't gay like apple watch.This shit with mechanical watches is that they are inaccurate, you have to manually set them and you also have to use them every day so they don't stop ticking making it pretty much too much effort over lets say a phone
>>18678430What wrist size is this? Looks pretty big.
>>18696810This looks really good. Is it real?
Wearing this makes me feel like a Japanese superhero
Watch thread two
>>18692085Only armies are soldiersOnly navies are sailorsOnly air forces are airmenNaturally, there's regional variations like the US Marines (will shit themselves if not specifically called "marine"), or the US Coast Guard (technically sailors, referred to as "guardsmen"). There's probably other spergs like that, one would imagine that the French Foreign Legion insists on "legionnaire"
>>18676293my f91w got fuckin rekt after a year of doing mechanical shit. So I could see the appeal in the g shock if it's actually more durable. But for most people it's probably just a larp/statement
Only a faggots hate G-Shocks
>>18700852gay ass nigga
>>18701419Shit so cash, costs little more than I'm willing to pay for, probably will get the A168w first
>>18676287It sounds like you have thin wrists. Not G-Shocks fault.
>>18676287I like my G-Shock and I’m not pretending.But I’m not wearing it right now.
>>18692532Yeah, right. These people calling others poor don't have Rolex watches. They don't have any watches.
>>18700210Five mouses?? What??You don't happen to have a bunch of keyfobs do you?
Why so much hate for G-Shocks? Obviously, some models look like the damn Omnitrix because of their exaggerated size, but there are also more normal ones like the DW5600.
The people who really like them over more sophisticated watches either see them as a better tool than a mechanical, or they enjoy a chunky and rugged looking watch, They are also a low hanging fruit, you get no disrespect while wearing one and are inexpensive. If you wear a $100 mall submariner homage someone will eventually clown on you.
Weeb watch on my weeb arm.
>>18703363So you actually admit you're a white person with an inexplicable obsession with Japanese culture?? Why is that? What happened in your life to make you even aware of, let alone get into all of it? Did you not have two parents who raised you? We're you set free on the internet from a young age?Why would you deliberately put a picture of some mountain on a G-Shock? What is the significance of that for you, a white American male??
>>18703420The art is very enthralling to me. I truly do love traditional japanese art and architecture. I don't really consume much other japanese culture. No music or video, some video games though. The love of my life is also Japanese and she loves it and is very supportive of it. Also to answer one of your questions, I haven't had a mom or dad since I was 10. One died and the other couldn't take care of me and gave me up. And the Gshock is made that way.

I bought this Baby G around 2001, having no idea about watches. It is cumbersome to set the time and date due to the built-in crown guard. The 80's-90's themed integrated bullbars (original color was light grey but oxidized to yellow) keep the removable bezel in place but also visually block the hour markers. This has been sitting for 2 decades inside my drawer. At least the battery is very easy to replace. Quirky G
Tastelets ITT that shit on gshocks, hopping on the bandwagon of "it's popular thus it's bad", are the same faggots who would shit on, say, Acqua di Gio because of how ubiquitous it is.Been wearing pic rel for 5 years nearly every single day. Work, innawoods, out in the ocean. This shit is incredible, it looks good, it works well and it's rugged. Yeah, so maybe it isn't formal or fancy, if I want to wear something classy, I've got options for that. But if i want something to wear every day that's actually comfortable and doesn't fucking fall apart in 5 seconds, then it's this no contest.

>>18676287I have no clue what you're talking about. No one has ever mentioned anything about my gshock. I wake up knowing I need a watch that's going to survive all the bs I'm gonna encounter at work and so I put it on. That's about it.

>>18716056I am convinced that these will be considered classics in the long run
>>18716056These are so ugly, I love them.
I like my G-Shock because I wear it when I play soccer and lacrosse and am out hiking or fishing. I would not wear it to work or even to class though.
i got my bx5600 finally. i'm american so had to order off ebay, first one got lost (stolen) by DHL then after like 2 weeks of customer service back and forth, ordered the same watch again and got it this timeit's really nice, the MIP display is much better than i expected. normally just wear a 5000u but i think this one might be my new go to watchit's too bad there's not a 5000u but with MIP display because that'd be the perfect watch i think
How is it that they try every possible color and shape combination available in this universe, but nothing yet surpasses the DW5600 and DW5000?
>>18716482It’s a perfect and timeless design. No different than the Rolex Explorer. A century from now people will still be wearing them most likely.
>>18716594That’s for sure
>>18676287The cute girl at the USPS saw me wearing my hiking clothes with my g-shock and a fresh haircut and her eyes lit up. When I am 16% body fat I give myself permission to ask her out.
>>18703420>So you actually admit you're a white person with an inexplicable obsession with Japanese culture??Despite what some terminally online retard may have told you, there is absolutely no shame in that.
>>18676287>thinkpads>memesThanks to /g/ I've been rocking used thinkpads since 2013. it just werksI think most g-shocks are clunky and ugly. I currently rock the Casio A168WEMB-1BV
>>18685983Based i also have a Nardi wheel and a dw-6900>>18696817i have both and the dw-6900 looks 10 times better, at first i hated how bulky it was but it grew on me and now i can't live without it i wear it 24/7I put it on a classic green/yellow MN strap and it looks extremely cool and its comfy as fuck
>>18718106good choice, is the mesh good or is there something bad about it?
I am a chef and I wear my G-shock at work. Any other time I wear my automatic Seiko. The G-shock can get oil splattered on it from cooking and I dont care. If I had an apple watch I would be worried about it getting wet or dirty. And I would never wear a nice automatic in a kitchen. The Digital read out of the G-shock is perfect for when you are working and checking the time often for timing things.
>>18718319I was surprised at how much I liked the mesh band. So far I've only had hair pulled out from the screws on the back plate, but the band is pretty rigid and clasp way better compared to a stock A168. I really like it.
OP here. I still didn't buy a watch. Not sure what to get
>>18718106I think Dell is better. They come with ethernet ports
>>18718346I use digital- analogs as GMT. Digital display for precise local time, hands for the primary time.
Very tough watches that aren’t g-shocks?
>>18718690Buy a g shock 5600 spevial editipn or a 5610u
If you are doing any kind of work having a G-shock is probably the best idea. Or if you are doing some kind of active sport. You dont wanna wear your nice watch when doing these activites because you are probably going to get it dirty or hit it on something and scratch the nice watch. That is the entire point of the G-shock. It can take the hits / bumps and works. No having to worry or be careful. Some guys might not have to do any work or sports at all, they just pay people to mow their lawn etc. So they might not even need the G-shock. But a real working man will find it useful.
>>18676287put all g shock in trash k thx
>>18676287If they released a Tough Solar DW-6600 tomorrow, I would throw money at Casio.
G shocks are S tier. Good quality watches that can take a beating. They are utility watches not flex watches like rolex
Based G king>>18677638Only thing I dont like is the Bluetooth shit. I dont want Bluetooth in a watch. It was annoyingly slow to set the date manually and im not downloading some cancer app to set my fucking watch. My other GODshock has solar and atomic time. The atomic timekeeping is goated its literally always precisely accurate. The luxury watch fags are basically fountain pen collectors for watches, the automatic watches are inferior in accuracy and performance, they lose time and they need constant movement to keep working otherwise they desync. They are very fragile and the movements can break from magnets or impacts.
>>18720664>Only thing I dont like is the Bluetooth shit. I dont want Bluetooth in a watch.i felt the same way but i got a bx5600 recently that has bluetooth and it's so convenient for the time setting. i live in the US so i can get multiband 6, but it never registers in my apartment, so i have to use a phone app to do the radio signal. but with bluetooth just open the app once every few days, press one button on the watch, 2 seconds later it's set and i'm done.that being said i did not like that the default setup is for the watch to try to pair to your phone 4 times a day to set the time, i turned that off and just do it manually now.
Wow the projection.>>18676287
>>18720586not gw6900?
>>18721332NTA but I really don't like how the solar version of the 6900 doesn't let you see the time on stopwatch and countdown modes. They updated the non-solar versions to do just that, but not on the GW's.
>>18690261f91w is for lean and mean terrorists and gshocks are for bloated doughnut eating counter terrorists simple
why don't the put one of those ratcheting rings that are sometimes on analog 'diver' watches on digital watches so when you setting the countdown timer or alarm etc you don't press the buttons to change numbers you turn the dial
>>18717089Love an upgraded strap on an F-91W
>>18721332What about the GW-6900?
>>18676290that's just cope but responding to OP>>18676287some people don't pretend, they just want to be practical with getting the time out of a death trap device like phones, that's all, not liking fashion, and can even be considered a statement.>>18717089>they fill a niche no other watch really does. that's the thing. if i tried to wear some vintage style field watch bouldering or my meat packer friend tried to wear a rolex to work we'd fuck those thing up.this is also cope, if you can afford a rolex you can afford a good homage and they won't break easily, and if you care for wasting a $500 watch you're not rich, you can get good homages for like $200
>>18676287I have always hated watch-as-jewelry culture. multi-band solar g-shock is everything I would want in an actual watch.
Does anyone know what it is about Casio watches (including G shocks of course) that makes people seethe and freak out like this guy: >>18678021
>>18722625If something exists, there is someone out there who will hate it.
>>18722639thank you.
>>18722625they’re for tech boy dweebs of the past now they all wear smart watches unless they want to LARP as OG hacker boys or military dad types wear them
>>18722653hahahaha. I love my casio watches!And I'm so curious, what watches do you suggest one should purchase and wear?
>>18722658desu in 2026 a smart watch i have developed a fetish for these antique chronographs though
>>18722661Interesting. We don't see eye to eye about that but I appreciate your sharing your opinion. Antique chronograph? That might be fun.
>>18722663sexo
>>18722606a rolex would look so goofy on me lets be honest.
with g shock i have to get the womens one, imagine a rolex hahaim not a watchfag but i like to know the time
>>18723018This one has been featured in so many Hollywood films

>>18692085>are called "operators."i was once a transport operator until i posted on /fa/
Very gay thread
Doom Guy's watch
>>18726129Are you just posting that in all the watch threads?
I posted it in one of the other 300 watch threads, but since this one is casio related I’ll post it here as well.If you have a bluetooth G-Shock, there’s an open source G-Shock app that lets you pull events from your Google Calendar into your watches reminders feature. It’s privacy focused unlike Casio’s official app which is super invasive.>>18725217There’s also a web app that lets you control your watch, so you don’t even need to download anything onto your phone.>>18725228
Can you wear a Gshock as a dress watch
>>18726335
>>18726335Why not?
G shocks are like the pocket protector of watches. The same people who go nuts for a PC case. It’s nerdy-coded.
