I don't understand the price of these, it's pure hype. It's still the same technology when they came out 30 years ago

Better be the g-spot for $350 versus g-shock.

Looks like it's a pretty nice module disguised as a cheaper one. It has solar and app connectivity if you're in to that.Nice watch but I would just buy a cheap one and get a stainless band and case off AliExpress if you want something that looks like this.

can you give me the link of stainless band and case?

The one I purchased was from a seller that's no longer on there. If I were to get another one I would chance it with this seller. They have good reviews with pics. Again, buy at your own discretion.

I'm no expert but it seems like the 5600 and 5610 models have the most options right now. But just search your model and stainless band/case and see what comes up. There are tons of sellers. Mine fit like a glove and came with tools.

To those saying they prefer the look of a $50 gshock I can assure you this is an entirely different league as it's built solid and made in Japan. Think of this as the best gshock has to offer. It has a lot more heft than the cheaper gshocks.

At first I nearly laughed out loud at this price for a Casio watch, but I'm trying to think objectively as to what bothers me about it.I don't have anything against paying $350 for a watch, although I wouldn't wear a $350 watch on a regular basis because I'm a bit rough on watches.I guess it must be the disconnect between the Casio brand name/reputation as a reasonably priced watch for the working man (and the $25 Casio I'm wearing right now) and this price.Also, I don't get the need for Bluetooth functionality in this type of watch. If you need an app to set the time on your watch…

If your a G Shock fan then its worth it. I love my MR G titanium square but for most people they would think the price is ridiculous but its 100% worth it to me.

I own the gold version of this g-shock and my wife owns the $45-ish silver metal Casio others are posting as an alternative. They are indeed in completely different worlds of build quality.

I get a better idea from videos than the still pics on sense of size, how it looks. It's definitely cool and different. It's kinda like the 80's throwback ones they have but a little thicker and has the cool brick pattern and the iridescent bezel. It's a matter of taste. Personally, I'd rather go for the traditional g-shock shape in stainless steel like the GST-B600D-1AJF which is readily available at the same price. Still enjoyed looking at it.

I have the resin version of this I believe that I paid around $90 for. I love the watch and wear it everyday, camping, anything. It's great @ $90 but $350?? Even if metal which in my opinion defeats the purpose of a G-Shock. Light, all day comfortable and toughness.

Maybe I am missing something.

Good discount, but too cheap for a basic CASIO watch. I'll wait for MRGB5000B-1 $4000.00 [casio.com] to go on sale... I think, it will include a signed card of the geisha that hand polished it in Casio's Japanese factory.
