Okay, I was worried. I wanted a more modern, less bulky, better looking G-Shock, but didn't want to sacrifice the durability.  I took the chance and ordered. It's handled the dust, the dirt, the knocks around the barn and a trip through the washer, all in the first 2 weeks, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! The bezel is raised enough to protect the crystal and the knobs on the sides are raised and protect the glossy bezel sooo, no scratches, no damage, still a G-Shock...no water penetration.  Very well designed product, quick shipping, well packed, . Thanks!
