• If you can read this from start to finish and not go straight to Amazon and buy one, then I congratulate you: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/casio-­ae1200wh-1a-world-timer-value-propositio­n. Wasn't even aware of this watch. I fear this is the start of a G-Shock habit.

    My number 1 watch, the one I wear daily, the one that is so good it stops me from considering other watches... is a G-shock.

    The looks are not 100%, but the function and reliability, the accuracy, the knocks it has taken, the accidental immersions in the sea, the drops, and that I can neglect it for days or weeks and pick it up and it is still keeping perfect time.

    It is so good it makes it very hard to consider anything else at any price point.

    It does help that this is an analogue dial G-shock, but it's still a G-shock.

    My perfect watch would be everything that this G-shock is... with perhaps a prettier case and strap. But it's so good, that I'm fine with the black hulk that it is.

  • @jb Re: article, didn’t buy one. Seemed way too fanboy. I do like the way it looks though.

    Then again, I am cheating on my cheapo G-Shock by wearing the huge PRW-2500 on perlon this last week.

    Solar, atomic, “tough” and 20bar. No complaints.

  • Sounds like my g shock, MTG S1000?
    I have the silver version and it serves me perfectly.

    Is a little chunky, but so am I.

  • the accidental immersions in the sea,

    This sounds like a good story.

  • I had it in my head you were a Sinn man?
