which requires a simple battery change approx. once every 3 years, the others can be solar charged and the battery can last for a very long time.
These may not be something to leave for the next generation (like they really care) but we can use and abuse them without the kid gloves.
HAGWE too!

I think I've filled my G-shock quota for the year.

A few years ago I took a fancy to the digital square ones but now I prefer these analog ones with the hands. It might again be a passing phase, who knows? fernando ...  

Well done! Your collection balloon really fast!

We are only in Jan...is it too early to talk about quota reached or passing phase?๐Ÿ˜‚

Thank you. You may be right ...

too early to come to a conclusion. I am enjoying them for what they are and I fear I'm not done yet.

Love the colorful mix

Beware though, the G shock rabbit hole has no end: rubber, steel, gold plated, round, square, special projects you name it!

I'm wearing the colourful ones the most.

And a very pleasant buying experience compared to say high-end name brands with no waitlist, previous buying record, bundling, and the usual bs.

Thank you Ed!

Cool collection

I gave into the G-Shock bug last year too. Just the one so far! Though I can remember doing something similar with Swatches a while back. Inexpensive, accessible and fun & a good way to scratch that new watch itch! Enjoy the journey ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ˜€ Cheers JML ...  

Thats one amazing Gshock collection.

but perhaps I'm getting lazy in my old age. No time setting, no long & costly servicing, no worries about scratches or prying eyes. Yours is a very popular model lately.

Battery lover

Changing 7 batteries when empty must a lovely job. B-Shock. At the other hand no problems with accuracy and falling watches. Quick collecting watches for a bargain, but after all itโ€™s good to have also much mechanical watches. I think i take the CasioOak,...

Iโ€™m with you Fernando, I also have a nice little group of G-Shock.

For me itโ€™s the 5600 as itโ€™s a better fit for my wrist. Lots of fun, and no worries !

Gotta love the special frogman!

Nice collection but you are missing this one ;-)

I purchased two years ago two Rainbows for my G-Shock collection because they were available. I am wearing one regularly; the second one is still fully stickered. ...  

Sell it to me, my friend!:)

You are tempting me.;)
