Any G-Shock fans here?

Nope. Not a single one. I'm absolutely sure about that. I did own a digital watch on a plastic case for a month or two (early 80s) courtesy of Texas Instruments.

Those smaller watches were later used as the “chassis” for the first Baby-G’s.

I think I’ll stick to models that are favorites or are otherwise interesting.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Silencer (GW-400). Solar, atomic, vibration function, a turtle shape. What’s not to love?

you just got to wonder in their wild days of youth whether they have worn one and just don't know it

I've had a few in many many years past, probably 3-5 of them, but I transitioned to the Timex Ironman and Triathlon because the Casio strap always tore through.

While the Ironman can't compete with the G Shock's gadgetry coolness, the G Shock will never compete with the Ironman's functionality. It's just simple and intuitive to use. Plus, Indiglo.

For me, it started with several watches that, then and now, really were the essence of G-Shock. Extremely affordable, more rugged than I’ll ever need, useful and easily accessible functions beyond just the time of day, and backlit for easy nighttime viewing. In a sense, all of the considerable technological leaps since then are just icing on the cake.

I’ll begin with the venerable G-Shock square. 5000 series.

I started with the DW-5600e. Over the years, many variations on this theme. Here are a few:









Add in solar:





Add in atomic and you have a watch with close to everything you’d reasonably need. And in a small case you can wear with anything:

Nice. I used that grey resin for my custom. I wonder how much actual improvements have been made in the resin down the years, and how much of the discomfort I have with older ones is due to inescapable ageing, and how the newer ones will feel later. I find even NOS resins direct from Casio for some of the older models aren’t so great.

I tried to give the redback a bit of love over the last couple of days but the legibility is just so limited.
