Most Po-Po,
That I know,
Wear a wrist G-Shock,
And a hip holstered Glock

A centre mass shot, body parts splatter
It don't matter
Perp with a bloody spleen
The G-Shock is wipe clean
A new catchy Casio advertising jingle?

GShock all day long. I have divers watches etc and they are too heavy especially when they hit the back of your hand.

Recently though I've been wearing my smart watch alot more. Alot do.

Another one here.

I must admit knowing the standard of clientele (and the fluids that go with them) they will deal with an f91w as a work wearer makes a lot of sense. I've never been in the police but a past job saw me dealing with scum of the earth fairly frequently and I didn't want to wear anything I'd had on at work when I wasn't there. It was borderline a strip at door and and straight in to shower job.

I certainly wouldn't have wanted to wear a nice watch. But I loved my f91ws, I got through 2 in about 3 years and they are so cheap when the strap went on the first I didn't even bother replacing it I just bought a new watch.

Notes from eight years in:
Metal watches can make your wrist cold in winter if you’re stood in a scene for hours. He might want to dip his watch in hibiscrub or alcohol gel when it’s covered in blood. The plastic strap retainers can break and the higher end G-Shocks are almost £30 to replace unless you use a rubber band. Get something that has the day/date (I think there’s only one Casio that gives the option of day/date on the display in UK day/month rather than US month/day...)

Anyway for my 2p get a G-Shock, get a fully digital, easily visible jobby, just don’t go mad. Funky colours are Job-acceptable.
