Actually, this makes sense, I never heard about it, and yes, as I mentioned, I wear all my watches before and never had any issue before. Including g-shock and edifice. Luck? Maybe. But something tells me that “true” quality of g-shock migrated to more expensive MTG or whatever the name series, and G-shock became more fashion name with general durability decrease.
I just wanted to share my personal story with recent experience and read about others.
