How much can a G-shock take?

[Nenavist]

I know for sure the the G-Shock watches can take a beating. I rolled my Ranger and my hand went out the window during one of the rolls. My hand ended up shattered and the G-Shock's glass busted out but kept on working just fine for many more months after the accident. I used it the the same way I had always used it, even getting it wet from the shower and washing my hands. I think in the end I just ended up getting another one and tossed the roll over shock in the trash. I regret this now of course. I should have sent it in for new glass. I am currently looking into buying another G-Shock though. I am fond of the atomic/solar ones that Casio makes, I just don't care much for the city world time function that a lot of the better ones have.

First off, wicked-cool avatar you have there

I too love the atomic/solar but when it comes to the world time, I'm not familiar with a lot of the 3-letter abbreviations of the cities.

Thanks! I love clowns and Pennywise is my favorite of them all.

To me the city world time function is a waste. I would much rather just not have it at all, but if it makes them sound cooler having this function so be it. I agree with you on the three letter abbreviated city names, which is why I don't care for it. I don't hop from country to country much (at all) and I am sure very few others do as well. I am currently looking at getting the GWM530-A1. I had it's predecessor in silver. The silver on the bezel wore off with time, so I am more inclined to go with the new black version this next go around.

Just a bump was a bit boring. So here is some G-ness:

No, my friend, in contrary - It is Shock Resist.

That is good to know - Although I hope it will need at least 3 dozen new batteries while doing so.

Me too

You know, although Casio says 2 years on one battery, they usually run 4-7 years on one.

For the record, the cheap knock off is still running and had survived surprisingly long.

Thanks, but I prefer Pepsi.
