I bought one of those, the carbon version. I have had other G-Shocks before but have not bought one for a while. Had a Casio Edifice but being metal it was a large heavy watch. Also have a couple of old Casio Pro Trek around somewhere This G-Shock is surprisingly light for such a big watch. I really liked it and was not looking for a new watch at the time - just really liked it. Shy and retiring it is not ! Mine is the carbon version, like this...
