racefaceec90

have always wanted a g shock but never got one until today  

saw it on special offer at argos and just had to get one.  http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5532353 ;

i loves it i have to say :-)

my other watch is an old timex atlantis that is over 20 years old 

i think £80 is a good price for it i have to say.

what watch(es) do you have if you like watches?

ps now i have to start doing manly things to justify i am a manly man with this watch now lol as it's built tough and manly 

pps i am dead tired so don't know what i am saying tbh bloody insomnia but i am a man now i know that much with  my new watch

Good choice, I have the same watch. I have several Casio’s actually... Omega, Rolex, Breitling et al can all do one as far as I’m concerned.

I have the same watch too but I can never remember how it works. It on summer time at the moment and I can't figure out how to change it. Nice watch though.

Rolex. It tells the time and date. What more do you need?

Something a bit less gaudy?

Great choice - was looking at the G-Shock but started running more frequently so opted for a Garmin Instead (for the tracking). Also have a Breitling which I bought second hand and absolutely love - tbh like all watches (although not yet warmed to the Apple one...). Enjoy!

Do you find yourself in many tactical combat situations?

I use mine for sailing. It has all the features such as a timer etc.

You’d probably be better off with a yacht.....

I don't like wearing big, bulky watches but I like the look of them.

BGG

I've got two TAGS, a Carrera and a Microtimer, need to move the Microtimer on as I never wear it

Is it rubber/plastic? I really like metal g-shock items

Maybe it's a generational thing, but that watch just looks too busy for me. I like a simple watch face that has very little other than the time-telling bits on it.

But a watch with a built-in mast? That's pretty cool.

My current watch of choice although I have a few. Great for mountain days, bike rides, walks on them there Yorkshire hills, changing music in the car, reading phone messages, weather forecasts...and telling the time

Many enthusiasts here have expensive watches and collectors' timepieces.  

If you like oversize watches which won't break the bank, then take a look at the Casio Edifice range, the Citizen Ecodrive Calibre 2100 (unfortunately new ones are rare: most available on eBay are pre-owned), Invicta Venom, and Diesel Mega Chief.

Most Watch Shops sell the Diesel Mega Chief watches for £239, but you can get them cheaper by shopping around.
