Look at this wild creation from Casio. It’s an analog and digital watch in one with a whole mess of other dials and functions I know too little about to explain. You can get one for about $215 USD. [via]
Casio EX-G1 is shockproof and waterproof
November 20, 2009 @ 10:51 am
Yesterday, Casio announced brand-new series of cameras in the EXILIM G line that fuses the shock-proof durability of the Casio G-Shock watches into the construction of the camera bodies.
The first camera from this line is the EX-G1, a totally mean looking camera that can withstand falls from up to 7 feet and is waterproof up to 10 feet (or 60 minutes in water). This is definitely going to be a camera for the clumsy and you can expect it for about $300 come this December — a perfect holiday gift!
This is a lame attempt at collaboration between Casio and Goodenough

Casio and Goodenough have “collaborated” on a version of the classic GW-M5600 G-Shock and it’s not really anything that spectacular. In fact, it’s pretty darn ordinary.
If this is what this industry calls collaboration, then I’m going to go ahead and slap Doobybrain stickers on everything and call the city mine. Because well, that’s what Goodenough did here essentially.
A classic G-Shock came in the mail today

I don’t often wear a watch on my wrist. In fact, I haven’t actually owned that many watches in my lifetime. The last time I can remember wearing a watch was back in 2003/2004 when my ex-girlfriend gave bought me this Swatch watch that I had been eyeing at the time. I wore that one for a little bit but eventually put it away. Other than that watch, the only other watch I can remember wearing was this really basic Casio digital watch (it was this one, if my memory is correct).
Anyway, with the frequent use of my cellphone, the need for a watch to tell time has pretty much gone out the window. But lately, I’ve found myself wanting to know the time quickly and sometimes getting to my cellphone is just too much of a hassle (it’s easier to just ask somebody). I just can’t be bothered to take it out of my bag just to figure out the time. So I bought a watch. A damn good watch too. A classic G-Shock timekeeper — for $30.
Initial thoughts? Best watch that $30 can buy. Simply classic and definitely a quality build.
If you want one too, the classic G-Shock is still on sale at Amazon.com for $30. That’s pretty much as cheap as it gets for this watch. Better take advantage of this deal now.
