    G-Shocks were the first watches that got me into watches when I was a kid. Glad to see them getting some love. The Master of G series as a whole could get it's own video. I'd also love to see some reviews on the higher end MT-G and MR-G models.
    Also, if we're talking Casio, the Oceanus series of watches really deserve attention. I'm really happy they're available in the US without needing to import them again.

    Amazing upload. So much fun seeing G Shocks get positive recognition and making it cool to own one so people new to the interest can feel included without needing thousands of dollars.

    My fiancée bought me the G-Shock GA-2100SRS-7AER Sun Reflect as a gift for this Christmas. It's the first G-Shock that I really like, that's why I wanted it and "as readable as a newspaper in a snowstorm" describes it perfectly.

    Casio is such an underrated brand it's nice to see them getting more attention (and not just the F91).
    It's also nice to see Casio trying something different yet still keeping the prices somewhat affordable.

    I find myself debating a few things after this video 1/Quality, 2/Time, and 3/Expense.
    Quality as I’ve not been a G-Shock convert, until now, but I think this video was so good, fun, with great throw back references I’m now left puzzling whether it’s your best yet :-) And that’s despite not being a G-Shock fan….before!
    Time, as not only was I glued to this video until the end, it’s promoted me to since spend more time looking at the entire range, including my two favourites from the video. The Tokyo purple and the Black and Gold. The former looks like it only goes at a premium on eBay now. What a pity.
    And lastly expense, as a result of your video, I’ve now purchased the black and gold, which I had no intention of doing beforehand!! I’m also contemplating the Tokyo as well if I can find one at less markup. Ironically I watched this video on the return leg of a work flight from Tokyo (which I love) to UK, so it got me when I was amenable. In the meantime I look forward to the black and gold which arrives in a few days.
    Great job. I really enjoyed this. You’ve converted me to appreciate GShock as well and I’ve purchase one. Loved this!

The translucent resin and color choices result in a watch that looks so 90s that it probably has a Geocities page and I love it so thanks Tom

    I guess I'm not cool. I like readability. Most negative displays are unreadable without backlight. Also if it has analog hands I want them easy to see. This is why my favorite gshocks in my collection are the cheapest square and the yellow solar octagon. Both are very readable
