      I have a new respect for G-Shock after wearing it for a few weeks now. I don't have to take off the watch no matter what kind of stupid shit I'm doing, and I've been setting the audible alarms two minutes before meetings to remind me to quit screwing around (or to let employees know I gotta go, I have a meeting).

      On top of that, it's light, supremely accurate with the atomic sync, and won't need a service in the next decade due to the solar charging.

      Definitely worth the additional functionality for me at the expense of the romance associated with a mechanical watch.

      I won't sell my mechanical watches, but deep down, I'm a function over form kind of guy.

              Seiko recently opened a boutique in Melbourne, and I stumbled across it today. I was rather taken by this quartz model, with a gorgeous blue-green dial.

              They'd actually got a Credor Eichi II in a few weeks back for a customer. It'd already gone out, unfortunately.

                Speaking of Grand Seikos, I should have my grubby hands on a new SBGA229 diver by this weekend!  Can't wait, glad I finally pulled the trigger.  I'll post some pics as soon as I have it in hand.

                    This is my everyday watch. ICERC GShock. Something about “love the sea and the earth.” And  saving the whales. I’m all for that

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                      It's arrived and I'm loving it so far!  I've heard of some reviewers complain about the weight but it doesn't bother me a bit.  So far, so good…

                          Nice watch @Clint_D.

                          On the Grand Seiko front, I like this limited edition with the green dial.

                            One of the things I regret not doing while in Japan is "Buying a nice Seiko", because they are just so much more cheap there…

                                any thoughts on these 2 from Steinhart ?

                                  Steinhart makes solid watches at competitive prices.  I've owned a couple over the years and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.  My biggest issue with the company is that they mimic Rolex styling far too closely for my preference.

                                  That said, I've always loved the Daytona and it's many, many imitators…

                                    Solid design on both those pieces as far as I'm concerned.

                                            You can't go wrong with a Steinhart. The value for money you get is more or less unbeatable.

                                            Personaly I would prefere your second option, since Chronographs like option no. 1 are to busy for my taste.
