G-Shock watches: the new hotness (again)?

Today I was talking about watches with a friend and how G-Shocks, always a quality watch, are re-becoming popular again. I collected, like, 3 of them joints throughout junior high/high school. LOVED those watches. And they last a long time too smile

Well anyways, I was inspired by our little convo to dig through my closet and find my favorite of the 3 G-Shocks I had. Peep it:

Chrome Baby-G Shock.
It lights up in 3 different colors and a little animation plays at the bottom when it's lit (I'm easily entertained)!
::love::


It's still ticking and keeping the right date (even after "losing" it for about 5 years... there was no point in rockin' it, there's a clock on my phone!)!!!

I would consider wearing this watch on the regular again, but do people still wear watches like that? Nowadays I think of them as more of a fashion statement since everyone (everyone I know at least) gets the time from their cell phones. I mean, I always get the time from my phone (the same phone that is currently being held together with a rubberband sad... Please donate to the cause y'all, upper right hand corner of the screen wink).

I don't see many chicks rockin' dope watches these days, is watch rockin' more of a guy's fashion trend?

All I see are famous dudes wearing G-Shocks. Here's 'Ye rockin his:

Aww. A person with a smile like that can't be THAT douchey, right?

I had a hot pink G-Shock too!

And Pharrell, of course:




Hey, that looks like the pimped-out version of my watch.

And Travis McCoy (from Gym Class Heroes):


And Fabolous...


I think you get the point by now. The only famous chick worth writing about that I found wearing a G-Shock was Estelle:


To rock or not to rock... that is the question...
