Hi everybody. Here's my first g-shocks, I finally caught this bug.
Initially G-shocks didn't really appeal to me, as I was not into the digital movement and totally into the mechanical.
But upon constantly seeing, and reading about the tool/gadget factors, I was hooked. I really got hooked by the negative displays, as
they do have a really geeky cool factor to them.
But I must admit, it was the frogmans that lured me to them. Since I'm a sucker for divers, it was a natural transition. I was also
turned off by the costly factor that comes with popularity. But then you have Wis moments of grandeur. LOL.
How do you like them apples? hehe. Enjoy.
Dave.

First off came the Brazilian Addict Frogman. Love at first site. Had to have one, and the search was on. ;)


Second, a Mudman aka stormtrooper, very cool tank.


And third, the classic square case, but modernized coolness with reverse display. GWM5600bc, love this stealthy geek coolness.
Great resin linked bracelet to boot. Solar/atomic, my first.ThumbsUp02.gif

I had a GShock when I did lots of running (10K daily in 60 minutes) centuries ago and it served me very well. I just forget the model name exactly but it was tough as nails, super reliable and really durable. GShocks will always be in a category to serve a heavy duty purpose and will appeal to that segment of people if their lifestyles suit it. I doubt it will ever yield the top rung as leader of that category.ThumbsUp02.gif It's always at the top of mind.

In my case, however, my lifestyle dictates I stay with the conventional autos/crankers but had I taken a different career choice, maybe the GShock line would be my fave.
