I have never owned a G Shock for myself , I did come across one a while ago which tidied it up and gave it to my son . I fancy buying one for myself now as they seem to be a rough rigged all round watch and seeing as there are a ton of variations out there I thought it an idea for member here to show off their G Shocks to give me an an idea of what is available.

Thanks in advance . John

G Shocks aren't that popular on this small forum so your not going to get a huge variety of what they offer.

Your better off looking on the G Shock website, narrowing down a few models and then researching them online or seeing them in person.

Is there anything in particular your after in terms of style or features? Analogue/digital? Rubber or metal?
I am not a fan of their ani/digi combinations and am thinking rubber rather than metal. I will check out their website for ideas and probably go for a digi version. Thanks

I have narrowed it down to two , firstly the GW-M5610-1ER I like the rectangular case and the fact it is a solar

Watch Analog watch Rectangle Watch accessory Clock


My next choice is is made on the basis of go large or go home , the GW-7900B-1ER I like this one as it is big and bold and as well as being a solar it also has the radio controlled time adjust ( this would be a first for me as I have never owned one before )

You may already realise this, but the wording of your post suggests not: The first of your options is also 'radio controlled', and would be my choice FWIW.

Mine are older, but there is definitely a square-g-shock-shaped hole in my collection...

In contrast to @Igerswis who appears to have every G-Shock ever made ( :laughing2dw: ) I have just one in my collection, and it's this bright yellow beauty:

It was a pressie from Mrs P a few years ago, and I haven't worn it for a while (it's needed a new battery for ages, and I just haven't got round to sorting it). Plenty of wrist presence on this bad boy, and I really like it :thumbs_up:

Do these count? Titanium Pro-Trek - all tough and stuff.

I do like G-Shock watches and have a couple in my collection.

It may, as Igerswiss suggests, be worth pursuing a special interest in G-Shock watches via a specialist Forum on the subject, although I would not call this Forum "small" by any means and I also believe that G-Shock watches are becoming more popular here on the Forum. It seems that the collectibility of G-Shocks has become more recognised, and I have always thought that Casio has been one of the more underrated brands as far as collecting (and wearing) is concerned. Members who are interesting in learning a bit about the history of the G-Shock might like to read my article entitled, "The Casio G-Shock: A Brief History," posted in my Topics section of the Forum on 31 January 2018.
