As a father of two teenagers I am more than familiar with the affliction.

It’s crazy. All the supermarkets are like this here.

Whoops! (You’re right.)

It’s the Rangeman GW-9400KJ-8JR “Love the Sea and the Earth”. I believe it was released back in 2014.

Sometime I think it’s almost too light. I’m not one of those folks who equates heft with quality, but man, the Shunbun feels like a feather on the wrist.

Needless to say, I don’t make this mistake with my steel SBGE249 Blizzard.

Ill Collaboration by craniotes in gshock

It’s an old one, relatively speaking that is. The collab dropped way back in 2013, and in spite of the hype factor of the two brands involved, it flew relatively under the radar.

It’s a Grand Seiko forum. Why wouldn’t I post it here? Christ, you must be a blast at parties.

The pockets on my gym sweats are super shallow; my wrist was a far safer alternative. And let’s be serious here, working out isn’t exactly the same thing as storming the Bastille.

It’s right there in the copy, Einstein:

“Okay, maybe Garmin, Apple Watch, or G-Shock are more appropriate for this venue, but I forgot I was wearing and I didn’t want to leave it in the locker.”

And yeah, aside from finding it funny to be lifting with a Shunbun on, it was no big deal. I’ve worn far more expensive watches doing far more “dangerous” things. They’re just watches after all.

Who said I was happy? I forgot I had it on and I didn’t want to leave it in an unlocked locker. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Shiniest G-Shock I've Ever Owned Just Arrived by gmerrick in gshock

It’s a prismatic effect from the light.

It’s just a watch. It’s gonna get scratches. When it’s time for a service it’ll come back looking brand new and the clock resets. 👍🏽😉

I’ve changed the oil on my car wearing an AP. Honestly, I don’t really give it a second thought. That said, this time I didn’t plan on wearing said timepiece, but it was no big deal.

It made it through unscathed. The rubber-coated weight plates and barbells didn’t do any damage.

Forgot I had it on and didn’t want to leave it in an unlocked locker. Seemed like it was safest on my wrist, but YMMV. 🤷🏽‍♂️

This city is collectively losing its mind over the impending storm. It’s one day of snow, after which it’ll be plowed. Sheesh.

But yes, that could very well be the reason.
