Man I love G Shock. Indestructible little things. If you get a solar atomic version you also never have to worry about changing the battery or setting the time.
The appeal for me is that mine is solar as well. So, it requires zero maintenance for years and years until that capacitor or whatever dies. It’s also basically indestructible.
I have metal brackets that screw into the resin body so it takes regular nato straps, so I don’t need to worry about replacement straps. I’ve basically dipped this thing in paint on accident before, and it just peels off the resin. I wear it to the beach, where I have previously gotten sand under my rotating bezels.
I wouldn’t say it’s a particularly good looking watch, but I love it for dirty, abrasive, impacting, tough situations. Situations where I’d scratch a metal watch or crystal.
