I happen to own three different G-Shocks and the newest one I use when I go out bicycling. Great watches.....

Here's mine:

jekuo · 16 September 2011, 11:16 AM

IMHO the G Shock is the only plastic watch worth having. I have 3 and am looking for another to add. Hope you enjoy yours!

TheVTCGuy · 16 September 2011, 03:14 PM

I'm looking for a G Shock to wear while hiking, with analogue hands if possible and as many gadgets as it will hold (Hey! I'm a Geek, I admit it!

) Can anyone offer any specific model suggestions?

gwalker · 16 September 2011, 03:49 PM

I thought Glock then I realized wrong forum....

xjeeunitx · 16 September 2011, 08:09 PM

A true WIS will have some sort of G-Shock in their collection.

Paul, my newest one is an AWG-100, Model#4765 and is Solar powered, sets the time by the Atomic Clock and has Analog hour and minutes hands. I got a great deal, price wise, by buying it at Kohl's where everything is on sale!!!

renfield33 · 17 September 2011, 01:58 AM

G-Shock is great, but I have started developing a rash on my wrist after wearing it. I think I am going to retire it for a while.

TheVTCGuy · 17 September 2011, 02:01 AM

Many Thanks everyone! I'll post a pic when I get it!

Kringkily · 17 September 2011, 02:41 AM

a watch you can bang, smash and not care about while being practical for almost no money. what's not to love.

belk7 · 17 September 2011, 04:23 AM

Tom - glad it got to you OK. Looking forward to late October to see what you have in mind

Paul, several good ideas already in here. My only dig/analog G is below. It is a GW2500B. Does the whole solar power, atomic clock thing. If you don't wear it for a while, it goes into power save mode. When you pick it back up the hands automatically run to the current time. I think this is really cool, and given your stated appreciation of all things dorkish, I believe you'll like it too

This one isn't nearly as large on the wrist as some of the Pathfinders, Riseman, etc.

Seriously, though, if you want an analog G with some really cool gadget features, take a look at the new "ProTrek" line. There's one with blue accents that looks very, very great (though definitely a higher price point than the typical G's).

TheVTCGuy · 17 September 2011, 05:08 AM

Wow!

joeychitwood · 17 September 2011, 08:06 AM

I love mine. Barometric pressure and altitude.

gettocard · 17 September 2011, 08:28 PM

G shocks are GREAT !! Can't take my off my wrist since May. It tells the time,runs on solar power,radio controlled and can't take a huge amount of abuse,what's not to love ??

Frogman4me · 17 September 2011, 11:16 PM

Congrats! I really like the Master of G line.

sea-dweller · 18 September 2011, 02:01 AM
