If wearing a GShock is cringe, I don't wanna be not-cringe.
If you are seriously asking tho and don't do a lot of outdoors stuff, opt for an atomic model because it's cool as fuck but don't bother with solar. The idea is neat but I have to toss my in the window every couple of months for a few days to charge. It's supposed to charge from ambient light but it's not great.
The funny part of these is that they still need to have a rechargeable battery replaced eventually, just like the normal quartz watches.
I totally even knew that going in but was like replace it in 8 years or 10 like it's some sort of fiscal big brain decision.
The biggest fuck is that my cheap ass Casio from Walmart that can't keep time worth a shit without fixing it once a week is 10x more comfy to wear. I type on a keyboard that doesn't have a case so I can rest my palms in my deskmat and with that watch on you can't even tell it's there but with the Sqaure I can feel it pressing into my wrist just enough to bug me.
I want the ones that look big
If I ever upgrade I'm getting one that is big as fuck and like red or some other loud color like the one in your pic lol.
Mine is the traditional "square" black one.
Which one would you get
I'm not sure. I haven't really been in the market since I got my last one 1.5 years ago. It's sort of a "maybe next year if I have a job and some spendy moneys I might look into them again" type thing.
