Awesome watches, everybody! Sorry, I haven’t been on in a few days. Been a bit busy, but sounds like there’s a ton of G-Shock love. If clubs/groups weren’t banned, I’d say to make a G-Shock club/group.
I just bought a GWM5610-1 from Amazon for a most excellent price. It had the two features I wanted most (tough solar, 6 band atomic), with the form-factor that I prefer largely for nostalgic reasons (my first G-shock from 1994 was rectangular). 😀
i wear a gulfman for work,cost 40 quid or so ,not too pricey,it gets battered everyday,feels great and looks good too.

Hello, I am in the military (combat arms branched) and I can say from experience that G-Shocks are awesome. I have a very nice collection and rotate through them all from month to month. I put my G-Shocks through complete hell. Cold weather, hot weather, rain, sleet, snow, dust storms, underwater, in the sand, it doesn’t matter. These things hold up to everything and anything I’ve thrown at them. They are tough/rugged, keep great time, have good battery life, and there are so many options/colors/styles available for any and all occasions. For the price I would put these watches up against any other in their price range and even some higher end watches as well.
+1 to Tarfu and Elian. Also military here, I picked this up early last summer after a Casio Pathfinder became waterlogged after a 15 foot drop (Me dropping, not just the watch) off a rope swing into a Maine lake. It’s been through everything and not a scratch. I’m able to get a great fit with the band as well which always seems problematic for me. I did cut it down so it doesn’t hang out too much. The only time I take this bad boy off is when I shower so my wrist doesn’t get funky.

I have worn one Mudman or another for the last 7 or so years. They all still work… its just my itch… sometimes it needs scratching!;) I cant see wearing any other type of watch. Every time I try to give a nice watch a chance… I rub it on a wall or something I am working on. Besides, a G will keep better time than any Rolex or Omega. G 4 Life!
I have had 6 G-shocks. Two are on nephew’s arms in West Africa right now, as I sent the watches off with them. One I sold, one I gave to my dad and two I have kept for myself. I have replaced one band / bezel as the band broke at the hole I always fastened the watch to. All of the others are working just fine and those currently possessing them (save for the person I sold one to, as I don’t contact them) are quite pleased with the functioning of the watches.
They are solid and reliable. Some say they are cheap and plasticky (is that a word? spelling??) but they have held up under all conditions be it farm work, rock climbing, camping, swimming, search and rescue, shooting, etc.
You should be able to find a model with just the right functions and in the right color for your needs and tastes. I really like the atomic solar features!
A couple of mine – – the Mudman

[IMG]G-Shock is a great product. I wear mine when I’m at work. They are tough, rugged, and easy to decon!
My 2 year old G-9100 is still looking brand new even after being dropped down multiple storeys, trodden on and left in the bath while I go and get a cuppa. Brilliant watch!
I’ve been a fan of these watches sine the classic 80’s hockey commercial. I’m ashamed to say it but I have about… 16 so far. My favorites are the 1990’s Masters of G. In the G-Shock world these are the Gundams. True monsters and over-engineered testbeds of new technology. Mudman, Raysman, Antman, Wademan, etc., (Truly, this is a fair comparison) The current MofG iteration is merely a pale reflection of these 90’s behemoths.
