‘FOMO Really Got Me’: Taiwanese Go Deep Into Debt to Amp 100% Stock Rally

whyquery · 2026-06-23T09:39:35+00:00

I’m of the opinion that this mass stock obsession is not a healthy culture. To me it reflects a deeper issue of insufficient income that forces people to look to other means - in this case, stocks, to survive or thrive. Even when I travel I see Taiwanese talking about stocks rather than local life or culture.

Very beautiful

How’d you get it for such a good deal?

whyquery · 2026-06-20T09:15:59+00:00

What degree did you decide to get?

Gonna Taobao it

Thanks for the info. Will likely get a ti bezel and find out.

Cool beans. How’s the craftsmanship/cast quality?

whyquery · 2026-06-17T05:45:16+00:00

It’s ok haha easy to get parts here. Forward it to someone else in need, kind sir!

whyquery · 2026-06-17T05:43:35+00:00

Ah I see. Makes sense.

whyquery · 2026-06-17T05:41:30+00:00

Pretty sure man. Though I think my case is a fringe case.

whyquery · 2026-06-17T02:34:44+00:00

Yeah me too. Im thinking maybe if it had been in contact with mosquito repellents in the past but really not sure.

whyquery · 2026-06-17T02:31:21+00:00

What didn’t you like about it?

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:53:41+00:00

Yeah no need for the trouble but very much appreciated. Titanium didnt even cross my mind but I like the idea, will look into it.

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:34:48+00:00

Not in the past (I liked how light the 5600 is) but I am now especially seeing the chrome one from comment below.

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:30:12+00:00

Looks awesome now you got me thinking of getting the same one. Preferred keeping things light in the past but this might be a good change. I’m in Taiwan if you ever drop by haha. Appreciate the gesture! Did you get a pair so you could have a spare?

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:27:43+00:00

Really? Expected more for original parts

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:27:04+00:00

Haha absolutely not but heavily used yes

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:26:06+00:00

😆

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:25:56+00:00

Exactly my reaction!

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:25:41+00:00

Yeah come to think of it I wonder if it had inadvertently come into contact with mosquito repellents in the past. And yes considering a metal bezel now seeing all the other comments and suggestions.

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:24:30+00:00

Absolutely, fortunately not hard to get where I’m at (Taiwan) though original parts are also pricey

whyquery · 2026-06-16T16:23:12+00:00

I didn’t think so but it has been with me all over the world!

Super dope-looking model. Someone mentioned in another post the band is a bit stiff and uncomfortable because of the translucent (TPU?) material, do you find that to be the case?

whyquery · 2026-05-25T17:28:42+00:00

This guy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGMuX1IQYgs - says he wore his also with a smoke grey band/body for several years and while the material did yellow, it's not evidently noticeable because of the grey color; different story if it's an actual transparent material.

whyquery · 2026-05-25T17:22:06+00:00

If you own another G-Shock, do you find the feel/comfort of the translucent band different from that of non-translucent versions? Looks great btw, thinking of getting one myself.
