anyone who laughs at people wearing this watch must be living with their head in the sand. speaking as a civil engineer, i can tell you the g-shock is my single biggest lifesaver on the job site. it takes a beating in concrete, it doesn't flinch from the vibration of a hilti, it never loses time, it just does its job flawlessly. turning your nose up at a watch built to military grade toughness is nothing more than proof you didn't do your homework. talking trash about a g-shock does nothing but announce to the world that you don't understand the first thing about engineering, technology, or durability.
