BATMAN 08-05-2005, 12:53 PM I currently have an analog G-shock. Thinking about change of watch.
Both are atomic-timekeeping & solar/battery powered. Basically I'll never have to worry if the time is accurate and if the watch is going to work.
This one MSRP for $400.00

vrooom305 08-05-2005, 12:59 PM I like the second one....
cool3865 08-05-2005, 01:01 PM who spends $400 on a watch?!?!?!?!
thats crazy
BATMAN 08-05-2005, 01:02 PM The first one has Titanium-coated wrist band.
Perhaps that is where the jump in price comes from.
Alex-7 08-05-2005, 01:03 PM my view on watches is eather wear an $8 timex, or spend your money on something with a nice swiss clockwork movement.
$400 for a watch with a $5 quartz movement?
It wont be worth anything imidiatley after you buy it.
But then again, if you really really like it. Get it. But get the anolog one.............................................
cool3865 08-05-2005, 01:03 PM whats wrong with a $50 watch.........
BATMAN 08-05-2005, 01:03 PM who spends $400 on a watch?!?!?!?!
thats crazy
It's cheaper than that on market price. More like $250 from the cheapest tha I have seen.
BATMAN 08-05-2005, 01:04 PM I've always worn G-shock.
Tough as watches.
and now they have a luxury/elegant appeal to them.
Also I like that they are solar and atomic.
ComradeGiant 08-05-2005, 01:06 PM I'd go with the third one. I love analog watches, but the G-shock is too cluttered in analog form these days.
BATMAN 08-05-2005, 01:08 PM My current watch is this $35 G-shock that I bought at costco.

Sorry for the small pic since that is the only one that I can find.
That face is a dark/blue face.
Sorta bored with it and since it has a scratch on the glass, I like to use it as a beater watch.
BATMAN 08-05-2005, 01:09 PM On second thought I could get the 1st and 3rd one since they are different (metal band vs plastic, analog vs. digital)
Alex-7 08-05-2005, 01:15 PM who spends $400 on a watch?!?!?!?!
thats crazy
I spent about $3500 on mine. (yeah I'm stupid, but amazingly enough, I've never regreted it)
meddle 08-05-2005, 01:16 PM I have a titanium seiko kinetic. I love it. It feels weightless on your wrist. sma16 somthing is the model.
Geoffrx7 08-05-2005, 01:16 PM id get the 3rd one, the first one is too cluttred, the second is too birght, but the third is classy
cool3865 08-05-2005, 01:25 PM I spent about $3500 on mine. (yeah I'm stupid, but amazingly enough, I've never regreted it)
you spent more money on a watch than i did when i got my 2nd gen vert
RB240 08-05-2005, 01:34 PM First one, hands down.

I've had one similar to this one for the past two years. It's a great watch, never more than a second off from the digital timeclock at my job, or the clock on my cable box. That's about as accurate as you can get.
I've dropped it off a three-story balcony onto concrete, and it didn't even phase it. And whenever it dies out, you can stick it under a table lamp overnight, and it recharges about halfway. Leave it under for a few days, and you can go months without seeing daylight, and it will still hold a charge, even through repeated use of the backlight.
BATMAN 08-05-2005, 02:29 PM The thing about the Rolex is that a few guys at work already have Breitlings, tag, and Rolex.
I don't want to be that conforming (in case ya'll haven't figured it out ;) )
BATMAN 08-05-2005, 02:30 PM id get the 3rd one, the first one is too cluttred, the second is too birght, but the third is classy
Isn't the whole idea of a cluttered watch suppose to mean that it's expenive through defination of vast details?
AmishBoy 08-05-2005, 03:10 PM I like the third one. But I like black plastic or nylon. I use an IronMan timex as a daily work watch.
RedR1 08-05-2005, 03:10 PM Quit pussyfootin around Batty, go pick up the first one ;)
Geoffrx7 08-05-2005, 03:49 PM Isn't the whole idea of a cluttered watch suppose to mean that it's expenive through defination of vast details?
lol, im just jealous. makes mine look cheap

BATMAN 08-05-2005, 03:59 PM That watch looks like the cousin of the watch that they give to police officers when they retire.
Geoffrx7 08-05-2005, 04:26 PM That watch looks like the cousin of the watch that they give to polich officers when they retire.
that cheap eh? lol
i left mine at home when i went on a cruise, and i needed one. so i bought this. i think i spend like 70 bucks us on it? hhaha
keeps very good time though
Savington 08-05-2005, 06:20 PM The first one has Titanium-coated wrist band.
Perhaps that is where the jump in price comes from.
My watch has an actual Titanium wristband, and it still only cost me $55 bucks used. ($150 retail) Nicest watch I have ever owned, and the most reliable (sans my old Timex Digital that refuses to die. I am hard on watches, too (broke 3 in 6 months once).
turboSE 08-05-2005, 06:25 PM i voted for the digital black......But then i saw the pic of the 1st one,and i'd go 4 that....I dont like big watches tho...i have a movado and a cheap wenger(swiss army knife)watch
BATMAN 08-08-2005, 09:43 PM I just found out that Costco has this for $229.00
It's gorgeous in person. The way the titanium looks makes it look like a Breitling or some high end watch.

clean85owner 08-08-2005, 11:02 PM I'm not a big fan of G-Shocks, they just seem cheap to me.
To me, they are just metal versions of the $5 Timex's at K-Mart; except they cost 100x as much.
I, personally, prefer a more classy, less cluttered watch.
JABrx7 08-08-2005, 11:21 PM i spent $1000 on my omega seamasterhttp://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/JB750il/mywatch.jpg and i also have a g shock http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/JB750il/mywatch2.jpgand i love both of them. the g shock is a good work/play watch.
o and p.s. i got both of them at costco
BATMAN 08-08-2005, 11:24 PM naw, this one is nice in person.
and it's light.
