My dad bought a Gshock in 1988. In 2021 we finally replaced the battery

I love G Shock. I was in the Coast Guard and it was nice to wear one watch that worked in Hawaiian summers and Alaskan winters. It survived engine rm fires and scuba diving activity on liberty. At night, when i woke up with all lights off, it was nice to check the time and see how much more sleep i could get before next watch. It looked good in uniform, PT gear or in casual R an R gear. One watch for one exciting life. Hey, i accidently did a commercial. Lol. Seriously i stand by this watch. It really did take care of me. as i traveled and served.

I've had my gwg-1000 for 2 years now I wear it every day . I work on 2 farms 6 days a week. This watch has me very impressed with it's durability. dirt, mud, grease, oil, diesel, gasoline, pesticides, lots of sweat, and temperatures from -10 to 110 it still works with out a hesitation. I would highly recommend this watch if you are a farmer like my self.

People who look down on you for wearing a G-Shock also can't find their girlfriends G-Spot.

Atomic is not a gimmick, it syncs everyday for me. The most important point from the atomic feature for me is that i never have to adjust the time for summer/winter time. This together with solar makes it that you never have to set the watch ever again. Set it up when you buy it and you are good to go for life.

Bro - I am currently in the “buying too many gshocks” phase. It kinda hurts because I love them all so much I don’t know which one to wear. I know I’m privileged to say that

[julianhowarth]

Excellent. The atomic watchkeeping might depend on your range from the transmitter. Here in the UK, you're always within range but in the wilds of other countries, it might be a problem. The watch DOES tell you if it doesn't receive a signal.
With or without atomic function, you cant beat a G Shock.

I really like the resin straps on G-Shocks. No irritation or anything.

My ex girlfriend told me my G-Shock looks like a toy watch. Key word: EX

[JoaoVaralta]

The last point is really the most important one. When you buy a G-Shock you'll definitely want more and more (their variants, collabs, types, etc.). But if you're willing to get you first one I would definitely go with the DW5600.

[joshpointoh]

I have been collecting watches a long time, and I almost never run into watch guys that look down on G-Shocks. If anything, it's about the only sub-$1000 watch a lot of them will give respect to.

[jacoblavinder]

Im sure the g shock doesnt spy on you either so that is also a plus

[BASimmons]

I am a major Casio watch fanboy, I have a variety of G-Shock variants from Oceanus, Edifice, Protrek, Pathfinder, Master of G, MTG, and Mudmaster every one of my Casios are both solar powered AND atomic, I've never had to change a watch battery nor have I had to set the time on them. They are all accurate to one another to the second. My perspective, solar atomic is worth it!

[Magic_Meezy]

For the longest time I stuck to my mechanical time pieces but I bought my first G Shock(Dw-5600 Blacked out Version) a couple years ago and you basically started telling my story at point 10 where one is not enough lol. Im always finding a good reason to add another to the collection.

[zerocooldeviation]

Im construction worker.
Working a lot with Jiggers and Jack hammers.
I have Casio W800H. Let me tell you, its not labeled as G Shock but it shoud.
I have it for the last 7 years, alarm wakes me up every morning, never changed the battery, use backlight several times a night, indured all kinds of impacts... And i bought it for just 25 €.
Opened it and scratched that jumper so now i have timer and split stopwatch.
King Casio watch!

The G shock watch is a must if you have an active outdoor job. I was in the UK army for 23 years and had 2 of the first kind, they survived every type of abuse imaginable. I had to replace my first one because I lost it in Bosnia. I still wear one today with pride, an immense brand! 👍

Own 38 G Shocks and now waiting for the 39th and... if I may:
1. They don't irritate your skin, not more than any other much more expensive brands.
2. They are stylish AF 😎 if you match them properly, been to exclusive parties where people asked me about the watch I'm wearing (full metal golden square)
3. Atomic time keeping works flawlessly for people who travel, changed 8 countries in 1 year and never had to set my time so... not a gimmick, not to some.
4. G Shocks offer the best price/quality in watch industry, if you want/need cheaper buy regular Casio or other brands but... you'll see what I mean, they worth every penny.
5. Apple watch is for people who can't live without the simplicity of Apple, I have one and... it's crazy, charge it, doesn't help much... rather buy a new phone, easier... add some money and you have your dream phone.
6. Suunto is good but won't stand what a G Shock does, also they don't age as good.

Nice points 👏 subscribed!

I love your vids, man. I strongly relate to the never ending purchasing of G-Shocks. At 46, I find my interests leading me to things that are long lasting and well made. There are lots of ways to interpret that but I find that the G-Shock line has a lot of variety and flair to feed my curiosity and interest in my the watch game.
