The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread
-
@Matt i have a g-shock with that negative display and they are hard to see. They look cool, but I’m torn on the practicality.
I also see you have four of the same watch (shape/style), so it must be one you’re drawn to. Out of those I like 5 and 6 the best and would have to see them in person before I complete a purchase.

That’s interesting Dennis. I was drawn to the first two because I like the grey clear a little more than the clear clear but I can see what you’re saying about the difficulty in reading it. You’re right about the last three. If that came in the grey clear I’d go for it and the 4 is currently my #1 but 5 and 6 are cool with the phosphorescent details. They’re visible in the dark apparently and I like a little color.
And $75 for G-Shock is pretty solid so far as I can tell.

Dumbass kitchen design led to my cracking my Garmin Fenix 6x Pro screen on a pointless extended bartop counter
That sucker has gotten me in the ribs numerous times too.Cost of out-of-warranty repair is not great. Watch still easily legible, just has a horizontal crack across the Gorilla glass. The options I'm considering:
-
Ride it out and try to remember not to submerge the watch
-
See if I can procure a replacement crystal and self-repair
-
Pay Garmin to repair
-
Get the new version
I am leaning towards option 1, then option 4.
I miss mechanical watches but the advantages of this watch and its tracking have been major and even made me some money at work through an incentive program

1 and 5 @Matt

1 and 5 @Matt
Interesting @steelworker
I really like the subtlety of size of the 2100 model but am leaning more towards the green than the blue. But blue is more “denimy.”
That model is called the CasiOak due to the bezel shape's similarity to Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak watches.

again with the learning Matt

I've been considering the steel square G-shock for a while (not the $4k one…)
Yeah but that MR-G is such a stunner [emoji7]

Same watch in two tones. I went with @sabergirl on the green on black.
The steel one is all bling in person and at that price I couldn’t resist. I got $300 worth of watches for $180. -
Nows the time @sabergirl Get over to Macys and hit that sale. I basically got the $200 one for $180 and the $100 one for free. Those Easy Shorts seem like they’re going to be a while.
