G-Shocks are only for hard cock guys.
>>
>>18676287
i dont know who would pretend. they're durable and for a moment in the late 2000s/early 2010s were fashionable.
>>
>>18676289
there are endless of "watch experts" who make it a point to mention how great and respected g shocks are
>>
>>18676290
Of course, it’s the only watch that doesn’t break like a fucking toy. You surprised or what?
>>
>>18676292
even cheap mall watches don't break over decades of normal use
>>
>>18676293
Wrong.

It's a perfect design, like the 1911 pistol and the Fender Stratocaster.
>>
>>18676297
I have no idea what could you possibly do to destroy a watch, unless you start smashing it against all objects around you like a retard kid. Which would be still fine for the most of Casios.
My AW80-1AV works well after years of rain and close encounters with rocks and metal handrails, my AQ230 survived a lot of brawls.

>>18676348
Bro Ibe invented the G-Shock exactly because he broke his mechanical watch and was fed up with it.
>>
You clearly aren't a tier 1 operator... I wouldn't worry about it...
>>
>>18676287
You're just poor. G-Shocks are based.
>>
>>18676506
G-Shocks aren't expensive. The most expensive ones are like under $300.
>>
>>18676287
I bought a couple, they're really uncomfortable to wear and look way worse than I expected.
>>
>>18676508

My point stands.

Casio is awful to wear.

>>18676805
this is just untrue the g-shock bracelet is insanely comfortable
>>
>>18676806
If you have a thin wrist it’s not. Sometimes even the f-91w and the smallest models are annoying on the wrist.
>>
Literally looks like the watch nerds wore in high school. The ones with skinny wrists who wore new balance shoes and ran to class instead of walking.
>>
>>18676508
The most expensive ones outside of the luxury line are $700
>>
>>18676806
Bracelet? Even so the case is wide and flat.
>>
I stopped wearing Casio in general for awhile cause all the browns started but now all I see them wearing is Citizen and Longines so I never wear those brands anymore
>>
>>18676961
Still not "expensive."
Try going back to school and getting a better job, brokie.

>>18677001
Lmao imagine suggesting education as a way to not be poor. You are literally lower middle class at best.
>>
>>18677003
>lower middle class
I had to look up what range this was because it's not anything I ever have to think about. I don't expect you to believe me, but I personally make over four times the max for "lower middle class," and my household income is even more than that.

What does a lower-strata guy like you think is the way to make money? Putting masturbating videos on Only Fans?

The most expensive G-Shock is around $400k. The MR-G models are around $4k, $8k, $10k.
>>
>>18676287
I'm merely pretending to like G-Shocks.

>>18677003
An education gives you the greatest chance of not being poor.

The greatest chance at not being poor comes from being born to rich parents.

Cougars love the white gshock for some reason
>>
I like mine okay. But i don't wear it much.
>>
>>18677201
Yeah. Because only old people care about watches.
>>
>>18676287
The G-Shock is one of the best timepieces and mass-produced products ever created.
>>18676972
This. Rolex is in a bad place because of this and it's about to get worse with the secondary market flood.
>>
>>18676287
For people who need something "that just works" and they are hikers or campers or some shit yeah they will never stop glazing these.

They are not supposed to be pretty or classy at all, just functional and durable with no nonsense. Basically the pickup truck of watches. If they were trendy at some point that is just because it is trendy. At some point recently IIRC striped polos were in. And barrel pants. I didn't and won't give a shit if something is in style or not if it makes you look like a ten year old wearing it and striped polos etc are that. Are G-shocks that? No but they do look like a shitty watch for kids, even though they absolutely are not.

As for me I don't have any unusual tastes, I like Seikos and Tags etc like any rando. I don't dislike Rolexes but the prices running away on them make me just roll my eyes. A watch shouldn't cost more than a car unless it was platinum and studded with diamonds etc which I mean does happen too, it's just more of a jewelry piece at that point to me however.

So have parents who aren't poor. Easy.

I wanted to get the GW-5000HS-1, but now I am worried about microscopic plastic shedding from the strap being absorbed by the skin, I can see that happening

>spending money on a casio
HAHAHAHAHA look at this fucking dork
>>
>>18677027
yeah they make stupid expensive ones, i feel its an intelligence test. They must laugh at people who buy them back at the factory.
>>
>>18678021
How often do you buy a Casio? No point in being stingy when it's a purchase made once in a decade.
>>
>>18678032
>its good i spent thousands of dollars on a glorified casio
you do you man

Anybody have the MIP version? GW-BX5600-1ER. Is it a direct upgrade to the classic (currently solar) one, like a next generation?

I just got the ghost in the shell edition g shock from japan and i'd agree with >>18676865. does the strap ever break in?

Sick burn. Because most people DO have bidets. Unless they're POOR, right?

Fucking useless troll.
>>
>>18676865
If you have a "thin wrist", perhaps normal man watches are not for you.
>>
>>18676972
>I don't like things I liked because people I look down on now like those things

It's sad to see this. I see it on /tv/ all the time. Such and such is "a reddit movie" so I don't like it if THOSE PEOPLE like it too.
This makes no fucking sense. It's not "based" to be that way. It's insecure and immature.
>>
>>18677001
You don't have anything. There are no rich trolls who spend their days calling people poor online.
I don't understand what motivates you fucking losers.
>>
>>18677924
Fucking schizo. This whole microplastics fear thing is silly enough when it comes to food and water. Now you think plastic just disintegrates at all times and clogs your fucking pores?

LOL, you need to go outside or learn something or meet people. These are not valid concerns you have.
>>
>>18676972
it was always a terrorist watch that's what made it based

you gotta respect a watch that says G-SHOCK (gangster shock) and PROTECTION on it
if you wear that it means you're solid
>>
>>18684969
Okay, work’s over. Show your watch.

G-Shocks are to watches what Hummers and Cybertrucks are to cars. It's for men with fragile masculinity.
