Those are not as good as they seem to be. I once had a g-shock mudmaster, seemingly an absolutely overbuilt thing, and it was resetting randomly in wet conditions. Maybe that could be fixed on warranty and it would work next 50 years flawlessly, but it didn’t inspire any confidence in that brand. They re-positioned themselves as a loud fashion brand, not a tool watch manufacturer.


I can’t say nothing about gshocks that have moving parts (actual hands) and what have you

Gshock metal square (like the photo I referenced) never failed on me (and I have 3 of those in different colors: gold and silver lcd ones, and black memory in pixel new one)
