    I’ve had two G-Shocks. The first one had a rubber/plasticky type of strap and during a particularly violent arrest the strap tore the connecting pins straight out of the watch case making it unwearable.
    When I eventually got a new one I went for the metal strap and it has lasted me about 7-9 years with no probs…..except last week when the battery started playing up; although it has a solar rechargeable battery it can still run out of ‘normal’ battery juice.
    The radio control is great especially as its one less watch I have to change the time on when British Summer Time starts/ends!!

    Not sure if they still make ‘my’ model, shown on the right, but I’m thinking of getting a new one….with hands.

    I sold my Seiko so I could get another Casio G-shock. These things are built to last. Don’t like the band? Dip it in simmering water and it will soften up just fine.

    I’ve had my G for going on three years. It has been worn everyday outside and at work in the hospital, and on the road in the ambulance. It has been soaked in blood, and other assorted bodily fluids more times than I’d care to admit. I can throw it in a sink, douse it with disinfectant, and put it back on without any worry. They’re probably the only watch I’ll ever wear both for the affordable price, and the sheer toughness of them.

    Have a G-Shock stainless that my wife gave me for Christmas in 2001, still going strong today (few scratches) but very accurate and battery level stays high (Atomic/Solar)!
