Mine's 'eco-drive' i.e. solar powered...not kinetic...but even if you don't 'wind' the kinetic's for a few days there's an internal solar battery to check passively how much time has passed since the hands stop....

when you then shake the watch and wind the spring...the hands speedily spin around and around, setting the date setting until the present time is reached...absolutely amazing. :cool:
Thanks for the response. :)

I went to Walmart today and looked at the G-shocks. I think I'm gonna get one of the SS ones.

Nice watch...I really like that Mudman.

I have an old G-Shock Ana/Digi that I haven't worn in a while. Can't remember the model number, sorry... :o

I really, really want a SS Citizen Blue Angel..... :cool:

The watch ain't new anymore, but here's some old pics. This Casio is my main work-watch, and it's been through alot. Still ticking.

if you need reliable work-horses, you just can't beat these:

Where are the pics, I have G-shock fever now because of this thread! :D
I decided to buy the basic model at wal-mart, the DW5600E, seemed like a good way to start. Now I think I need a mudman, I want the one with the reverse display.
