due to lifestyle changes - more hiking, trail walking, etc., and almost zero socializing/dining with friends, as this rather contagious virus does not differentiate between friend or foe. Many have been caught out because they gathered with 'friends'.
Anyway, I like these because their analog hands are easy on the eyes and they are so convenient to use. If you don't own a G shock I suggest you stay away, as they can become addictive and may divert your attention away from their more prestigious mechanical counterpart.







Cheers

It's a tough and versatile quartz, with the fair price of such a movement 😉 I was looking for the steel one 😎

They’re great for what they’re designed for they’re tough and robust and capable of taking the knocks. I especially like the casioaks (I have a couple) as I find them quite smart as well as tough and the all black version can easy Be dressed up and worn with a shirt imho : )

I started years ago and now have nearly 30 of them - it can become addictive.... First I went for some bright colors to match dress style and cars. Later on I discovered the range of MRG G-Shock which are incredible for gardening and other heavy duties. And now I am collecting highly limited editions which show up in figures of about 5 for whole Europe (the rest stays in Asia within a huge collectors community) - thanks to a good collectors relationship with Casio HQ they offer me each new limit

I like mine because of the dual 24 h dials and that it's solar/radio-controlled. Best, -- Richard.
