Yes, they are great IMO. Quite frankly…I don’t have time or patience to worry about my watch as I use it all day long …whether I’m working or not. I never have to set it (atomic time keeping)….I never change the battery….I only take it off when I sleep. Maybe I’m just lucky…but I can rely on my watch. It goes into power saving mode when I sleep and springs into life when I put it on in the morning.
Sounds good. Is it heavy or bulky or anything abnormal?Sounds good. Is it heavy or bulky or anything abnormal?
It may be a little larger than you are used to, yes. Bulk comes with the toughness of the watch. Once in a great while I will hit my watch on something…I hurt my arm…but the watch is completely fine. They are built like tanks to take a beating…Here’s a link to the older of my two current G-shocks (the one with the burn mark)…

Looks nice. If I’m going to spend upwards of $50, I’m going to get something in white. I think the white look the sharpest. Or an all-black one.The white ones are very sharp looking and very popular. I hear you have to wash them a little once in a while to keep them clean looking as with most white things. 🙂
Majority of them are well under 100 bucks, and are very durable. I have never had a broken case or band on multiple g-shocks I’ve owned. Though, I did have another Casio diver band disintegrate on me. To be fair, it was subjected to saltwater, sand and sun for two seasons of surfing, and a lot of other time in the sun sweating. I haven’t put any g-shocks through that kind of abuse.
I have the blacked out mud man, dont know the model number right now. It is on the smaller end. I like it. No problems in the first year of ownership.

I’ll look around for it. I dig the all black ones.The band can always be replaced. And have you put the G-Shock through anything equal or similar?

nope! thats what i said in that post, i havent put any of my gshocks through that abuse. i would guess that many hours in salt water, in the sun, and hiking in the sun sweating would probably result in bands breakingnope! thats what i said in that post, i havent put any of my gshocks through that abuse. i would guess that many hours in salt water, in the sun, and hiking in the sun sweating would probably result in bands breaking
I thought you said that you didn’t, but I was just making sure. Thanks for clarifying!I think I usually get 2 or 3 years out of a resin band. I wear them daily in the pool and running 3 times a week. G shocks were the only watches that I couldn’t kill skateboarding – slammed them on the ground on too many occasions. My current one bothers me because the numbers are actually pretty small especially given the size of the thing

The Gshock 5600 are about $50 at Target and I don’t think you can beat that with a stick!

Literally, from what I’ve heard.The band can always be replaced. And have you put the G-Shock through anything equal or similar?

:censored:! It’s awesome looking. It’s also a bit above my price range. 🙁I love it! Size is perfect, it has the look, and features as well. Look around, I think I got it for under $90.00 on eBay. Don’t settle for less than you want just to have the name, save up and get the features you want. Sell some things on the boards here to get the extra scratch.
I don’t currently wear a watch and never cared for Casio’s sense of styling. I have three other devices on me that do everything a watch would, if I wear one, it’s just a piece of jewelry. Still, the G-shock watches are durable and feature rich at a fair price point. There are a few that I wouldn’t mind having.
