I hope you like large watches 'cos that one is a bit on the chunky side! This one is one of their recent King of G models, here's a review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcNwaoZPOgk
Lovely model though it may be a bit of an overkill if you just want something reliable for cycling, any of the G models will be pretty tough and have stopwatch/timing functions, have a look here for some different models www.gshock.comsmile

OP, that is a reverse/negative display example. They look lovely (a black one will be my next watch, looks very stealthy) but if you are going to use it cycling you will probably benefit from a 'normal' display that will be easier to read.

Always liked G-shock but never really looked at them.

Picked this up today as an impulse buy. Why the gash colour? Because it matches my car paperbag
My first digital watch and it seems rather well made, I suspect it will outlast all my other 'proper' watches too.

Get the G Shock filled with Silicon oil and she will be practically indestructible I tested one to 1000metres and she passed no worries.


Please forgive the terrible footage! LOL

The King of G-Shocks is the way to go, one hell of a watch, wears really well, comfortable and you get used to the size.

Mine is the japan market atomic version.

I have one of those GX-56s and GLX5600 G-lide. I love the massive King, but I really wouldn't recommend it for cycling unless you're only ever going to be in short sleeves. If you're wearing a long sleeve jersey, jacket or arm warmers etc, then it's going to be a pain in the arse either having your sleeve rucked up against it or having to try and work the sleeve over it all the time.

I only ever wear the 5600 on the bike.
