      Been eyeing this metal G-Shock since it was released last year but didn’t have any chance to see it in person. We finally met and it went home with me. [emoji7]

        That's a bad ass watch. It looks pretty heavy…

          That's a sweet G-Shock. Been eyeballing it for awhile.

          It's not stupidly heavy but it certainly weighs a lot more than it's resin counterparts.

              As for me I just got myself an Apple Watch 4, in 40mm, and I have to say I really like it. It's not going to replace the Omega, Grand Seiko, and Cartier, but the feature set is unique & very useful to me.

                I got one of those for my wife with a rose-colored case and a matching magnetic Milanese bracelet and they are very cool, including the bracelet and the strap change system.

                Almost cool enough to tempt me to dive back into their ecosystem, but Google still does too many things better for that to happen. I am hoping Google catches on up wearables with a Pixel watch that's competitive.

                But I do like wearing a watch so I'm not sure how I'll reconcile things if I go that route.

                Think it, be it.

                  For me the deciding factor were (1) ability to play music from the watch, even without the phone, and (2) how good the HR monitor is (I like to track it when exercising and Polar was not working out anymore…) I got the cheaper aluminum model... It's kind of crazy the premiums they charge for steel and the larger size, given the innards are the same.

                  It integrates beautifully with the Apple ecosystem - much better than I thought.

                    Yeah that thing was very expensive and an anniversary gift or else I would have gone another route. Apple continues to amaze with their hardware margins.

                      An IH x Gshock collab would be dope. I wonder what their minimum order quantity is for collabs?

                          @DougNg I saw those on Revolution earlier. Looks a nice piece.

                              I'm not sure I'd go for it. If you look at G-Shock "collabs", all they do is slap someone else's logo somewhere on the watch.
                              I wouldn't buy a watch because it has MORE branding.

                                Decided today that this is the watch I want after liking Hamilton for a long time. I have to say I balked a bit when I saw the price tag as it seems steep compared to their other mechanical offerings. It is an absolute beaut though. Congrats @DougNg.

                                    I dunno. It’s just not a collab that makes a lot of sense to me. They’re both super tough and purpose built, but so is my Vitamix…

                                        I thought about the price of the Khaki Mechanical Pilot, and for the extra couple hundred dollars, I think it might be ok considering that you get a a total 100m water resistance vs 50 on the Field watch (I get a nervous twitch with anything less than that), and there really isn't anything like it on the market case shape wise or size wise unless you want to get a ladies watch. I'm not particularly happy with the mineral crystal, we'll see how it holds up. I may wind up seeing if I can find an aftermarket sapphire crystal in the future.

                                        For me it was a no brainer since I have been hoping for a reissue of the W10 for years.

                                          Thanks for that. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m not deep in the specs and details AS you or many others here. I gave a rough budget which this watch is slightly north of, but as you say, the aesthetic is pretty unique in todays marker and it gives me a semi. I’ll see what sort of damage I do the bank account in g’port in a couple of weeks and if that goes OK then this may be mine soon.
