There's no way you're getting a real, new G-shock for $12.

He's probably thinking about the F-91W but even that is at least 20 Euros now.

I bought an F-91W after destroying my M5610BC for whenever I'm messing around in the yard. It's great! So cheap that I don't worry about getting dirt in it, scratching the bezel, or whatever. It keeps great time, is easy to read, and weighs nothing. What's not to like for that price???

You're right, I was accidentally exaggerating a little. I just checked my Amazon order history in my last one was 40 bucks. still unbelievably cheap for a watch that is bomb proof. ordered mine in 2019. I think I've worn it 90% of the time since then. still going strong. It's beaten out fitbit's and Garmin instincts.

I really wish they made a health tracker without a watch on it like the old original fitbit bracelets.

I would just wear the G-Shock plus the health tracker bracelet be perfectly happy.

I got an Amazfit Neo for $30 or so, it's been amazing. Lasts for a month on a charge and has fitness bits.

I miss the hayday of fitbit so much.

100% in the garmin camp now though.
