I at times forget how long the G-Shock has been around. I was obsessed with them around the mid '90's.

I never stopped buying them, but yeah, my first g-shock was probably 1989 or 1990.

I’m an outlier. I owned one way back in the 80s and never cared for it or any digital watches really. Tried another a few years back and flipped it quickly. Just no appeal for me. I’m weird, I know.

I'm actually wearing my Riseman now (this topic made me want to try it on). I'll always own a G-Shock but find myself a lot like Roger now. For most activities requiring a beater the Orient or something like an SKX007 does it very well. They're still (obviously) mechanical though so certain things I won't even wear anything like that. Shocking comfortable, it's a shame my sensors stopped working. All else still works perfectly and the battery is fully charged. Here's the one that won me over from the Timex Ironman all those years ago: The nostalgia seems to hit many because Casio seems to be doing a lot of these anniversary editions.

BTW - don’t look up Golden Tornado in the Urban Dictionary! Not sure why I did, but wish I hadn’t.

I don't doubt the quality or functionality of the G Shock, but that doesn't stop me from finding them hideous. All a matter of taste I suppose
