A New G-Shock Sale Alert

I follow a few motorcycle forums and one of them has a watch thread.  One of the guys who posted recently alerted me to a Casio GD400 G-Shock watch in a new color scheme.  Without intending to, I guess I became a G-Shock collector.  My orange and turquoise GD400 conked out on a Baja trip (my fault, not the watch’s), and when I tried to buy another one, I was g-shocked (pardon the pun) by four facts:  The orange and turquoise color was no longer available, prices on the orange and turquoise model were up about 400% on the secondary market, you couldn’t get replacement parts for that color, and G-Shock collecting/investing is a real thing.

My first Casio G-Shock watch. I still have it.

I liked the watch, though, and when I was in a watch shop on the east coast, I saw a new color theme Casio had released.  I like the watch, so for me it was a no-brainer.  I picked up a replacement in OD green and black.  I’m wearing it right now.

My daily wear Casio GD400 G-Schock watch.

I took the inability to get replacement parts on the orange and turquoise model as a challenge, and I overcame it.  My orange and turquoise model is digitally and happily tick tocking away on a shelf in my office.

Anyway, to circle back to the topic of this blog, Casio just introduced this new color scheme in black and gold, and I like it.  It’s the one you see at the top of this blog.  The deal is this:   The new Casio is available now for $69.99, which is a good price.  Casio is taking pre-orders on their website, and they will start shipping on 25 November.  My order is in.
