Casio G-Shock DW-6600 – $450
Everyone needs a G-Shock. Not necessarily this one, but “a” G-Shock. They are rugged, accurate, cool, and nearly indestructible. How do I know? Because my DW-6600 shrugged off 4 years of Air Force Special Operations work after it was issued to me. Your G-Shock might be a square case DW-5600, the Casioak, or the ultra cool Mudmaster or Flightmaster. If you have taste, and you do (even if it’s bad taste) there is a G-Shock out there that fits it. A G-Shock will keep you grounded in this crazy world of watch enthusiasm. It will remind you that even if you wear a Rolex 5513 or Royal Oak as an everyday, you can strap on a 100 dollar G-Shock and it’s all the watch you need. That is the true bottom line up front. What we do here is a wild, crazy, hobby full of Rolex AD’s and arguments about homage watches. But it is never more important that family, friends, or experiences.
