I’ve always loved this model G-Shock. Unfortunately, getting older and eyesight slowly getting worse means the character display size is hard to read - fine with glasses. A few years ago I switched to negative display Garmin Instinct Solar Tactical and love it. 30 days on a single charge and solar to extend it is pretty good. #watches

I usually wear mechanical watches but my grandfather was an engineer at Casio when they were developing screens for calculators before watches, and I was born 1983 like GShock

I prefer a mechanical watch and have too many of those as well. I actually designed the Prometheus Ocean Diver line of watches that I’m pretty proud of.

Love the inner bezel dive timer. Reminds me of Longines legends diver!

I always liked day-dates as they’re practical for EDC for the working man, but during Covid I was buying, servicing, photographing, and reselling vintage watches, and day-date complications were always the least desirable for collectors. Time only was always in demand, followed by dive watches, then chronographs, but like all complications - a touch pricier to service and requires it a bit more often - and that turns purists away 😂
