G-Shock finally died.

[Ayahuasca]

It had a good inning, been on many adventures, been in swamps and jungles, run marathons, climbed mountains, went scuba diving, for more than a decade. But now it has gone to the great watchmaker in the sky.

What shall I replace it with?

[ZesPak]

What do you want from your next watch?

I've gotten my father this one and it looks way smarter than it has any right too:

Casio GA-2100-1AER


PS: All the pictures I found online make it look bigger than it actually is. Both my father and I have 7.5" wrists and it wears smaller than you'd expect.

[Ayahuasca]

Good question. I want it to be inexpensive, rugged, visible at night, waterproof, shockproof. I think that’s it. Nothing fancy.

I have a Sea Dweller and.a Sea Master for when I want to wear a smarter watch. This one will get battered.

The G-shock I posted fits the bill I think. It was 100 EUR .

i'm looking at one of these then doing the metal bodymod.

That looks ace tbh.

I did get the one with the white markers as I found the grey on black not readable enough.

It was just the first images found. Yes the white markers are easier to read, but there is a full metal mod but it is around 70 quid, the face is 20. There is black,silver,rose gold and gold.

Just can't decide which one yet but all the octagon g shocks are in stock on the official site. You can get a 10% discount for supplying your email before buying. I like the fact there is a big mod scene so can swap and change.

I have a all black casioak with the Metal case mod. Looks ace.... But if you are going to batter the G-Shock, I think it's better left as standard plastic.

In addition, the casioak is very flat, bezel to glass, so there is no protection. If you looking for a tough durable G, I don't think the Casioak is the right watch. There are loads of the new carboncore variants around now in more wearable sizes, there is plenty to choose from.

Considered a square one? GW-M5610 pretty much defines “nothing fancy”. ~£80 ish
