I'm planning some fun outdoor trips this summer for the family. I wear my DD most of the time, but not during outdoor activities.

I've had a Timex Expedition for about 15 years and it's served me well... from such things as hop-scotching through lava flows in Hawaii, hiking across glaciers in Alaska and enjoying the surf in Cancun.

For quite some time I've been drawn to the Casio G-Shock watch line. I guess it's the "rugged" appearance. Or maybe it's that it looks like a "transformers" robot toy.

I went ahead and got the cheapest one I could find. Even my wife thinks it's cool.

Anybody else like these?

(show pics - I know there are different models)

Here's mine.

Cool - does that one set by radio? ("multi-band" makes me think so)

Yes, it is quite satisfying to see it spot on with the time pips.

Bullyterrier · 12 May 2010, 03:29 AM

I have a Gulfman and a G2300.

I looked at the DW9052 as well 777, not bad looking G is it. I'm with you, I don't know what it is about them I just seem to like them.

You mean that can be taken more than one way??

TattooedGQ · 12 May 2010, 03:38 AM

The G's are fun, I have 3 of them....I'll post up when I get home. I want to see if I can find my Father's old one, he literally wore the protective rubber case off of it...we got him a new one, and that one's getting beat up too.

Definitely show them!

swissautopro · 12 May 2010, 03:44 AM

Here's mine ...

BarkMaster · 12 May 2010, 03:46 AM

That's cool - looks like a high-end compass.

Love the design of the hands.

The GMT Master · 12 May 2010, 04:15 AM

I think G-Shocks are just down-to-earth, well made, honest watches. I don't own one myself, but a friend of mine has a Mudman, and it looks great, a proper tool watch for the modern day

Bullyterrier · 12 May 2010, 04:24 AM

777 A quick phone pic of my Gulfman that I am wearing now.

Bullyterrier · 12 May 2010, 04:33 AM

double post

ducatidoc · 12 May 2010, 04:37 AM

It has been said that one is usually very happy upon finding one's G-Spot.

Plus, you always know when it's time !

JBat · 12 May 2010, 04:55 AM

I love G's, and have four of them. Here's three:

DW-5600E

GW-9100

G-9100

I also have an old G-2900. No matter what anyone says, G-Shocks are excellent watches and represent huge bang-for-your buck value. That and you can beat the bejeebers out of 'em and they keep on going.

Sweet!!

What does the wave looking part represent?

JBat · 12 May 2010, 05:29 AM

It's a tide graph.

BarkMaster · 12 May 2010, 06:27 AM

I guess I didn't notice that when I was looking!

The variety of the line is shocking!

gettocard · 12 May 2010, 06:28 AM

Now there are a couple of watches that have earned their keep!

Skullring · 13 May 2010, 01:39 AM

This is my DW-5600. I bought it from a PX when I first joined the Army in 1990. I was in the Infantry 11B Mudborne

so it has been through the wringer. I was happy to find it about 6 months ago in a box in my basement I put a new battery in and it fired up like brand new. Part of the bezel has broken off there are replacements available so I will order one at some point.

BarkMaster · 13 May 2010, 02:05 AM

I wasn't sure if they were as tough as they look, but glad to see they apparently are!!

Thanks for sharing.

Yoreese · 13 May 2010, 02:12 AM

Guess I need one to wear doing manual labor!

TattooedGQ · 13 May 2010, 02:06 PM

Better late than never, sorry for the rushed cell pic.....

htc8p · 13 May 2010, 04:14 PM
