My New Watch is the Green Casio G-Shock G5500C-3

Green CASIO G-Shock G5500C-3

I wore the first-gen black Casio G-SHOCK watch back in the 80s when I was a JROTC Ranger — it was the perfect watch for deployment.  I was farting around online, looking for a more casual watch than my stainless chronograph and chose the so-called “Green Tough Solar G-Shock Watch.”  I think it looks pretty cool. A handsome chrono is just isn’t terribly “Berlin” so I am looking forward to wearing this bad boy back to Berlin. What do you think about it?  Here’s the copy from the site.

With a classic shape, Tough Solar Power, Shock Resistance and 200M Water Resistance keep all the dark forces at bay. Green Tough Solar G-Shock Watch featuring a Green Resin Bandand with Digital Timekeeping.
