It’s still as ugly AF (“the solid, rugged look of off-road vehicles and survival gear”). It’s smaller than its G-1000 predecessor (4mm shorter and 2mm thinner) though 4oz heavier than the GWG-2000. More importantly, the G-SHOCK GWG-B1000 has […]

Casio’s G-SHOCK division has issued a 40th anniversary special edition DW5600 NASA21 commemorating the first Space Shuttle launch. It first went on sale on the G-SHOCK website at precisely T-minus zero, 40 years after the launch of STS-1 (April 12, 1981 at 7:00am) . . . Oddly, Casio’s promotional video makes the […]

Hot watches are Beanie Babies for grown-ups. Once a product’s popularity is switched on by the interwebz-fueled hype machine, there’s no turning back. And there’s no telling how far the price of sought-after models will rise. Watches like the new G-SHOCK DW5600 NASA21 […]

Case in point: the G-SHOCK KITH GM-6900 Rainbow. I’ve never heard of KITH. And when I did, Mike Tyson’s voice popped into my head. “I liked it when dat gurl kith me.” Hang on . . . I’m […]

I’m not a G-SHOCK maven, but that’s a lot of money for a modified digital watch. Then again, people spend Porsche money modifying front-wheel-drive Japanese sub-compacts. Obviously, the new G’s feature set doesn’t justify the price. It’s the gold plating and titanium case and bracelet. It’s not […]

Previously, I designated it one of the “Essential G-Shock Power Trio.” It routinely receives unanimous high praise in the Casio forums and social media groups. And for good reason . . . Part of the […]

It lures watch aficionados with an addictive mix of horological danger and opportunity. Brand websites, gray market dealers, eBay, Chrono24, forums, Instagram, email come-ons – we’re exposed to an endless parade of tempting timepieces. With enough exposure (what’s that?), we eventually turn our attention to vintage and/or discontinued pieces. Watches […]
