My G-shock gets allot of use. It is my all around beater and I use it to set my clocks and watches as well as gage accuracy of all things mechanical. ;) Thank goodness it is light powered. :D

I don't have a problem with quartz watches, In fact I have great respect for the "uber" chronometers that the big brands continue to play the one oneupmanship game over.. doesn't mean I would spend that kind of money on one but the drive for technical perfection I appreciate none the less. On a practical note I always travel with a solar atomic G-shock, it's never wrong and I have actually had watches die on me while traveling! I've got a whole display box of quartz watches, and I quit going to Sunday school the day my teacher told me they were soulless. (even though I am guilty of saying the same thing) they do too have a soul! happy1.gif  Last edited on Thu Feb 21st, 2008 05:22 pm by OldeCrow |

I see that the Brazilian G-Shocks are really collectable, as are the ICERC and some others. I love my G-Shock for gigs, it will take a direct hit from a drumstick without harm. Sorta like the really collectable Zippos, I could easily spend over $1K on a mint Mickey Mouse but I won't. Same with an RCA Nipper, 1969 Moon Landing commemorative and plenty others. My limit for a collectable Zippo is $100, any more than that and I would be in serious trouble... I have plenty of quartz, Eco Drive and battery and they all get worn and enjoyed just like my mechanicals. I am wearing an Eco Drive now hand6.gif Cheers, Griff
