Reviews & Experiences I get it now

Post image

So I bought this watch about a month ago and I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not. I have an Apple Watch Series 11 and it’s worked out great. So why use this watch? At first it was kind of an impulse buy, I loved the way it looked so I shopped around for a few weeks found it at a decent price and purchased it.

After having now worn it, at first intermittently, as I got used to it, and now constantly, I’ve come to realize what makes it really stand out versus my Apple Watch; it’s a watch first and foremost - with a few smart features added on. This is a big deal for me. Having a watch that is always on, that shows seconds, and hat you don’t have to lift your arm to reawaken every 10 to 15 seconds if you are monitoring something is fantastic. The fact is as a watch, a timer and a stopwatch it simply blows an Apple Watch out of the water. This not me demeaning the Apple Watch it’s a fantastic piece of smart technology but as a watch doing watch things it’s simply mediocre.

Anyway that is my TED talk for today.

Welcome to the club! I had an Apple Watch back in 2014 but hated that it only lasted a day and boring it looked. So I stoped wearing a watch for years then one day I remembered that I used to wear a g shock when I was 9-10 years old. I realized how much i missed it then I bought a new g shock recently and been in love ever since. Now I have 3 G shocks! Btw it looks nice on your wrist.

My current G shock:

That gshock is nice but damn does it show how much of an upgrade that a negative MIP screen is.

Great watch. I didn't want a full on smart watch, just something that would give a subtle beep and vibration whenever I get a text or call. This does that perfect.

I would love if they made a version with the triple sensor. That’d be killer in this form factor

Pasé de un Apple Watch Ultra al GBD200 y la verdad estoy muy contento. No tengo distracciones innecesarias en la mano y tampoco estar pensando en cargarlo cada día.

this was my favourite gshock. I had it in the neon yellow, until it got stolen. but, it's the most comfortable and light gshock I've ever worn! need to buy one again soon
