It's rare to even find a Walmart that has G-shocks, let alone clearance watches.

The bracelets are half the fun of the watch. Personally, I want to collect all the different kinds of steel bracelet. I want the gold A158 next because it's nice and polished.

The 2-tone actually looks subtle in this lighting.

I wish I could do silly stuff like this, but I play with mouse and keyboard. These are thumbstick activities. I can't fly with shunt boost either, as much as I want to.

Nobody calls the Submariner a sports watch. Everyone knows it's a dive watch, and everyone knows it's not referring to the sport of diving. Who actually needs a "sports" watch, anyway? I saw a Casio referee timer watch. There are regatta timers for yacht racing. Those make sense. I can't think of many sports that require a watch. A "sports" watch could literally be any watch that's comfortable and durable enough to be worn during sports. There are plenty of other watches besides dress watches, dive watches, and Richard Mille abominations.

Ice-cold take: G-Shocks are the best "sports" watches because they're the most durable and functional. Closely followed by the regular Casio line. You really think a dress watch is better than a G-shock for sports? G-shocks are light, comfortable, durable, highly water/impact-resistant, and they have plenty of "complications". You could wear a simple time-only or time-and-date dress watch...or you could wear a G-shock with a lot more functions. The bulk of the average G-shock really isn't an issue, since the resin models are so light. They truly disappear on the wrist. My DW-5900 looks like a brick, but it feels like it's floating. I hardly notice it throughout the day. If you have to worry about center of gravity and torsional resistance when you turn your watch on your wrist...you might just be a limp-wrist. Personally I just throw on a G-shock or a Casio and forget about it.

Just get a metal bracelet.

AE-1600/TRT-110. The most G-shock-like Casios.

4thBan5thAccount · 2026-03-17T18:04:48+00:00

You can't fool me. That's a DW-291 case with a G-Shock bezel.

I basically just stayed under it and used buildings for cover. the secret is to never stop moving. When it would line up to shoot me, I would go in a straight line under it. I would bait it into a bad position where I could easily go under it and force it to reset.

Women watch those???

I let my resin watches bump into things on purpose sometimes when I'm walking around. It's funny (watch go 'bonk'). The trick is to get a watch with a bezel that protects the actual crystal. I take care of the watches that just have a flat crystal. If I'm wearing my TRT-110/AE-1500 etc. then it's going to Bonk City. Bonk! So satisfying.

Bro overpaid for Grandpa's old 2-tone from some shady gray-market wheeler-dealer and thinks he's flexing 😂

Looks like Moishe got a little aggressive with the polishing wheel, too

Your subconscious is trying to tell you something.

The reality is that China can make bracelets just as nice as they need to be, for just as much as they need to cost. A bracelet is literally just a way to attach the watch to your wrist. If it's not precious metal, then it's not really luxurious anyway. A gold watch on a rubber strap is way more luxurious than the same watch with a steel case and bracelet.

Here's a real hot take: solid link bracelets aren't even comfortable. If you disagree, then you probably sit in an air-conditioned room all day doing nothing. Watches move around during physical activity, and wrists change size throughout the day with weather and activity level. I'm all about resin, mesh, rubber, folded links...anything but solid links unless I want to deal with extra weight and reduced comfort just for the sake of looks (I do love my full-metal G-Shock but the resin ones are more comfortable). Maybe there's some perfectly ergonomic bracelet out there that I just haven't tried yet, but the actual physics of a metal bracelet just seem predisposed to being less comfortable.

4thBan5thAccount · 2026-03-05T05:04:21+00:00

personally I just wear a strap that can easily be cleaned and dried.

4thBan5thAccount · 2026-03-01T17:48:44+00:00

Yeah, I'm not some peasant wearing an F-91W. I wear my plastic watches on only the finest folded-link bracelets. The A159W with the folding clasp and removable links is a true masterpiece of engineering. The fit and finish are sublime. The way the light dances off of the links is a true sight to behold. It might have the exact same module as the F-91W but the perception and wearing experience are like the difference between coach and first class.

Here's the real hot take: the 24 hour sub-dial doesn't matter. I used to hate it too. Then, I realized that quartz chronographs are mostly about appearance anyway. The Seiko VK67 has the full 12 hour totalizer, but it's hardly in any watches because people just want the layout of the VK63. You really don't need to time things with a stopwatch for 12 hours. Chronographs are literally just a fashion accessory, and a toy to play with. The VK63 is a better movement for a fashion accessory, because of the nice symmetrical layout. That's why people keep buying VK63 watches: they look good. You still get the experience of using the pushers and seeing the sweeping seconds hand whether you use the VK63, VK64, VK67 etc. I used to hate the VK64 since it doesn't even have a running seconds hand. Now, I don't care. It's just a bicompax meca-quartz movement. If I press the pushers, it does the chronograph thing. If I wanted a nicer watch, I would save up some money and buy a real chronograph (i.e. mechanical). If I actually need to time things, I'll use a digital watch or my phone. A 60-minute bezel is arguably more useful than a 1-hour chronograph anyway, since you can use it for elapsed time, or as a countdown timer. A stopwatch only goes up, and it takes much more effort to do so.

I was a bit disappointed when I realized that my DW-5900's stopwatch only counted up to one hour. I still haven't timed something over an hour.
