I had a sweet G-Shock watch for 4 years and it never broke, I loved it. I treated it like crap sometimes too. Fantastic watch. Cost me 100 bucks, sweet deal for a long lasting big and functional watch. It got stolen this week, and I love to keep track of time and need a new watch.
I would really like something like a G-Shock, so I might buy another. I want a digital watch that supports military time and is very accurate. I am interested in the new line of Atomic Solars from G-Shock, with an antenna to keep time from the official government atomic clocks. Sweet!
Any suggestions for me to buy a new watch? I don't want brand names like Gucci and whatever.

:insert open mouth in disbelief smilie here:
I have 3 G-Shocks from over the years..and if you want a digital watch, it's hard to beat..I've always found them kinda big for my wrist, but they were tough and had good functionality.

I've bad two 2 nike watches in 6 years. Pretty good sport watches imo. Their style is like it or hate it tho... if you like how they look they are not bad for the money. I really liked the track/lap time function as I was able to time myself running tracks or swiming lanes.

I've been using this TIMEX triathlon watch for about 5 years now. I've gone through 2 in that time though. I accidentally flushed one of mine down the toilet in some hotel in kamloops. That was a strange night. :thumbsup:

if you want something good you MUST have a swiss movement, unless you are going to go atomic. the only other suggestion is a Tissot High-T its swiss, touch screen and runs on atomic time., oh yea and its connected to MSN direct.
:werd: my nike is still ticking, but barely. 7yrs so far, but after every month something broke. the paint is all gone, lens scratched, and fogged.. blah blah blah. i guess thats what happends when 6yr olds who are used to stitching together fabric are assigned to making a 250$ watch.
timex are really good watches.

I got my G Shock from Costco about 5 years ago, and it still works like a charm. I'm BIG on Fossil watches now...I have two and they are the best watches I've ever owned...and they look great too.
