G-SHOCK Challenge

Took the photos at my AD for all of you showing the G-SHOCK love on here.  I’ve never owned a G-SHOCK and have honestly never been interested.  After seeing all the love for these watches (and the fact I can buy any one I want at cost) I’m reconsidering the situation.
 

I challenge you guys to convince me to buy one.  Hint- I have a strong preference toward Analog & Ana-Digi over straight digital displays.

I wasn’t all that interested in g-shocks either before and then I came across the GST-B400D-1AER

I tried it on and I think it looks great, it also comes with a rubber band and it can take anything I throw at it and looks smart enough for me to wear out. With all the features it has the price seems amazing enough so that I’m now eyeing up this MRG

I think they’re brilliant and like everything under the Casio umberella great value for money. 

How’d I do?😉

@Matt84   I know my AD has these in the case, you did good.....under consideration.  He also told me he has special limited editions that aren't out in the case but he can bring those "backroom" ones out if I want to see them.

Now you’ve sparked my interest let us know if you see anything good 👍.

My son has half a dozen..he gave me a tough solar for my birthday one year usin his own money. That's G Shock is my favorit watch in my collection for obvious reasons.  I wear workin out, campin , hiking, surfing . It's awesome,  simple and solar powered.  Doesn't get much better. I have a Frogman . The Tough Solar is just more everyday useful

It's too bad there is such a small selection from which to choose, but I would probably recommend one of the Casioak models. That is my next G Shock.

·

Thanks!  I'll be checking out all of your recommendations....I want to buy one.

·

Casioak for sure. The 2100 and mod kit would be sweet. The GMWB5000 stainless is cool too

GAB2100-1A

Ana-digi charged by solar and a positive display (easier to read than negative display).  There is a green, blue, and a yellow color as well if those are more your style.

@MWC2020 I watched your review and I need to find out what brand of coffee you are drinking so I can upgrade my energy level!  I like the watch, I need to look more closely at the metal G-Shocks....maybe dare I say something a bit larger for my big fat 8" wrist.  Thanks for posting!

A real good metal Casio Oaks there are many good colors to chose from. Since is Pride month choose them colors for you.
