G-Shock Introduces New Heavy Duty Models
The GA900 series looks to be the toughest of the bunch
It seems like an oxymoron, but G-Shock--Casio's line of indestructible watches that you're likely to see on everyone from firefighters to mountain climbers, disaster preppers to soldiers--has announced their upcoming Heavy Duty line.
As you can see the casings have been beefed up, resulting in a "utilitarian design motif highlighted by a 10-sided bezel resembling the shape of an industrial fastener and secured by four screws," the company writes. Additionally, "The band connection and buttons have knurled surfaces that prevent slipping to ensure the utmost comfort and functionality."
Available with resin or cloth bands and in a variety of colorways, this GA900 series will run from $120 to $160 and are scheduled to roll out this month. You can find detailed specs and/or sign up for notifications here.

I stopped wearing a watch years ago, since i could get time from the phone in my pocket. Now, no wrist tan line.
Analog G Shocks are terrible. How do you tell what time it is using those short hands?
I like the press release, but I'd prefer to read an honest critique of these G-Shock watches from an ID standpoint... They definitely look more "technical" but are they really more indestructible or functional than a Timex Ironman from 1990?
