I need a G-Shock (apparently) HELP!

I want to understand what the love is all about, so…if I were to have just one Casio G-Shock which would be considered the best all-rounder?

When is a dial too ‘noisy’?

I didn’t actually.

It was something that my Jedi friend said:

‘If the answer was "Someone told me to." my response would be the same as I'm giving you, "Do it because you want to, not because everyone said you should."’

With that in mind, I took a different tack. I sold all but 2 of my automatics… the one on my wrist and one that is yet to sell.

I didn’t feel that G-Shock spoke to me (yet anyway) and I have stuck with my regular daily wear and additional funds. I will consider that before my next move.

That is a sublime watch. No messing around and can hang with the best of them :)

Some channels are genuinely insightful and worth watching, others I dislike due to the ‘personality’ presenting it. It can be the style, the message, the perspective and whole host of other things.

Some channels are all about the money (be it through sales or clickbaity titles), others for the love, but wherever on the spectrum they are it’s like life… find what works for you and vote with your feet - don’t like it? don’t watch it!

I’d make myself unpopular if I named channels I did/didn’t like…. some fanboys/girls can be intense!

Meh, not a brand I pay any mins to. Nor the nonsense that exists in YouTube.

Paid, not paid, it matters not - what is clear though is that we’re talking about it :)

commented on Hamilton Jazzmaster Openheart or a Map of New Zealand ? ·

If it’s true, that is pretty cool - and one of the most original designs I’ve seen!

Well spotted!
