    My GW300. I bought it in 2003 and thought it looked very cool. Now I think it's quite ugly but the big digits are awesome, and it has too much sentimental value for me to part with it.

    Hmm.... I think the 2300's are well liked, no? Not quite seen as liconic" G's, but maybe a notch below?

    Not popular BUT Loved...

    Here are some of my candidates for not particularly popular these days, but well loved by me.

    The G-2400. I like the larger display, but have always found the watch as a whole to be endearingly funny looking.



    G-2500

    I love the look of this model, but you don't hear much chatter about it.




    G-2900

    Great crisp display, weird "sailboat" graphic, nice compact size, oddball e-data feature.



    G-2000

    The "poor man's Frogman". Nice design, screw back, style reminiscent of the Froggie.

    I have a black G2900. In 2003 I thought the e-data feature was awesome haha.

    EXACTLY!

    I still use the e-data feature on an old G-2300 that I often wear when flying internationally. I keep passport numbers, etc. in there -- and there are times that it is more convenient to just press a button or two on my watch than to dig out the passport or my iPhone. By and large, though, technology has made these old programmable data files pretty quaint.

    When I did regularly wear the g2900 I also made good use of the four multi-function alarms(fairly loud alarms to boot) that you could assign a scrolling description to. An awesome feature I would like to see on a newer model with a vibe alarm.

    Completely agree. Some of the activity trackers allow you to program all sorts of reminder alarms, but they don't generally come with text
