Casio G-Shock kestää kun Omega ei kestä

"I also have a G-Shock, got it before I was into luxury watches. I had always been a fan of Casios and decided to get the Mudman G9000-1V (currently selling for $65). Battery is still strong after 3 years. For a watch itself, you really can't get better than a GShock. In fact, my GShock is actually a better watch than my Omega. It's durable, has lots of functions--multi-alarm, indiglo, etc. But it will never look as good on my wrist as my AT :)"

"I have a Speedmaster and a couple Rolexes, as well as a G-Shock Gulfman. I use the Casio when working around the house or at the beach. It's really handy to have this watch for those type situations."

"I own a few Gs and also a few Timex Ironmans. They are great when you don't want to beat up your nicer watches. Everyone should have a nice cheap digital that is easily replaceable."

"Got a few omegas and rolexes .. And a trusty G Shock G7900 when I am doing anything that may damage or badly scratch my nicer watches ...
I also wear my G shock when I a travelling to countries that are generally not so safe"

"I have a Frogman in addition to a Planet Ocean. It's handy to have the G-Shock for any extremely rough or messy activities, though I don't exactly "baby" my Omega either, it was bought to be used."

"I love my G's...I have always had a G-shock for work due to their durability and the intense beating my job puts on my watches. They have been the only watch which has withstood time with a US Army Infantryman. My current G's are identical twin G-9000 "Mudmen" (tan), and both have seen service in Afghanistan. As far as G-shocks go, their ONLY weakness seems to be the straps which do wear-out and break after a few years...other than that no complaints here. Even after most of my comrades switched to Suunto's, I have stuck with the G-Shock. For the price, you cannot beat their durability.
For the record I also have a Speedmaster and a Seiko in the collection and a Seiko SBDC001 "Sumo" which is on the way from Higuchi-Inc in Japan. I will always continue to wear my G-Shocks though for those dirty jobs where I don't want to mess up my more prized watches. Get a G-Shock.....you will not regret it."

"There are plenty of activities when I wouldn't be wearing my Omegas: the gym, the shooting range, moving, etc.
Once I got used to wearing a watch, I feel naked without one. A G-Shock in the collection definitely comes in handy!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Every watch has a purpose and the G Shock is the classic beater watch. Wear it when i need to work with my hands or anywhere I know my other watches can get wrecked."

We play football socer, etc and having an omega on my wrist is nta good idea o me because I might get it scratched so I bought a Gshock and a Swatch for the weekends. Now I play with my boy without worry."

Kaikki tämän "Omegavs G-Shock" foorumiaiheen keskusteluun osallistuneiden kirjoitukset osoittavat kiistatta, että Casio G-Shock hankitaan vain yhdestä syystä: ylivoimainen kestävyys kalliisin Omegan kelloihin verrattuna. G-Shockia käytetään töissä ja harrastuksissa joissa se kallis Omegan lelu voisi naarmuuntua, hajota tai kadota ranteesta kokonaan. Omega ei ole käyttökelpoinen kello vaativiin töihin ja koviin ankarien olosuhteiden harrastuksiin. G-Shock on tehty kestämään äärimmäiset olosuhteet ja sotilaskäyttö taistelukentillä, joten G-Shock tunnetaan nimenomaan siitä äärimmäisestä kestävyydestään ja se on ainoa todellinen syy käyttää Casio G-Shockia. Kestävyys on myös ominaisuus jonka jostakin syystä G-Shockin vastustajat yrittävät väen vängällä kiistää, vaikka kaikki käytännön testit ja myös NASA:n vaativat lentotestit kelloille ovat osoittaneet Casio G-Shockin olevan se kelloista kaikkein kestävin ääriolojen kello joka sopii niin poliisille, lentäjälle, sotilaalle, ensihoitajalle, palomiehelle kuin astronautille tai sukeltajallekin.
Kysymykseen kuka tarvitsee Casio G-Shockin äärikestävyyttä vastaus on ihan jokainen kelloja käyttävä ihminen. Kalliit kellot eivät toimi eivätkä kestä tilanteissa joissa kellolta sitten jo vaaditaan äärikestävyyttä.
