Last shot at a G-Shock is here

Subject: Last shot at a G-Shock is here Wed Jan 13, 2010 6:16 pm

I bought and sold two of these already, but still secretly really wanted one! I have learned that digital sucks, at least I can't deal with it...so I went with an analog G-Shock to see if I can stand it. I wanted a white dial since my others were very dark. This dial actually has some stripes on it and looks pretty cool. After a short search I came up with this and ordered it from eBay and it arrived from Singapore today. $125 delivered.....

Duff,

Seikos aren't scarce so his buying one would not reduce your chances of a good Seiko score. Don't be stingy. Last shot at a G-Shock is here Icon_eek

I like it Gary and have always wanted to try a G-shock but not a fan of digital watches, might have to think about this one!

Guest

Nice looking G!!!

For those wanting to try one, there are plenty of non-digital models to check out. All the options too, Waveceptor, solar and all the good stuff. Amazon is a good place to look. Careful with ebay, lots of fakes.

Guest

. . . a lot of the guys wear them on the job, swear by them. I've looked at them close, they really are well made, and I have seen that one . . . . . but I'm still on the rail on them . . . . nut slivers.

Guest

Congrats, Gary. I think it's a good looking watch. And one that you can beat the h$ll out of and not have to worry about it.

Subject: Re: Last shot at a G-Shock is here Wed Jan 13, 2010 10:48 pm

Nice looking watch-glad to know you can get an analog G. I'm on the lookout for a decent plastic case work watch (I'm an electrician) and prefer analog.

Subject: Re: Last shot at a G-Shock is here Wed Jan 13, 2010 11:28 pm

This is nice because it's another option for G-Shock fans !
The white dial is excellent and it works well with the black,
red, and silver. It may not be digital, but it still feels like
a G-Shock and that is COOL ! Last shot at a G-Shock is here Icon_biggrin

Also this non-digital type
of style might lure in other people to the G-Shock World !
Enjoy your new G Sixtysix !!!

Very cool. I had one almost identical to it. It was a Giez with the solar atomic feature. Great looking watch!!

Guest

Gary,

Adds another dimension to your already diverse collection. Congratulations. Wear it in good health.

My best,

Casio has not been known for their lume and in fact on plenty of analog models they still put a back light. How is the lume on yours? Is it able to get through the night?

I charged it up and actually took that photo in regular mode, not in the dark on timed exposure...so the lume is initially fairly bright. I have not tried it over night. I seems to fade fast so I don't think it does.

Thanks for all the great comments, I expect to see everyone pick one of these up Last shot at a G-Shock is here Icon_razz

because I am a trend setter. Robert you should buy two!!

I wore it for a few hours last night and didn't throw it in the corner in a heap...lasted longer than the other g's in that respect. It's funny, you say it's a computer...and if it was digital that's exactly what it would be like, and one of the reasons I don't like digital. But because it's analog it's just a watch. I know it's not the same inside either, it has 5 motors or whatever this one has, and that appeals to the electrician and watch lover in me. (So Last shot at a G-Shock is here Icon_geek

That's great. Always like to see watches worn, treated well, and enjoyed. I am glad that it's lasted longer than any other G for you.

Guest

Gary, that's a great G! Probably the nicest dial I've seen on one. Enjoy it!!!

I'm not too into the gshock thing, but think everyone should have one, I do! So many great features, computer or not.
