My husband has a G-Shock watch that he has owned for about seven years now. The watch is still working perfectly and is completely useable but you can tell it had been around the block a few times. For Christmas I picked out a new G-Shock watch for him and he loves it.  He has gotten numerous compliments at work as the watch looks great.  His old one had the solar feature on it also and he never had to change the battery so we expect the same of this one.  It is easy to read and use and the Rose Gold or Coppery accents take it from being an all around great watch for work to something that is also nice to show off and look at.  Though my husband also has a couple very nice formal watches for going out it is greaT that his work watch is so nice to look, at that if he forgets to change watches up for when we go somewhere fancy it is no big deal.  Of course with it being G-Shock it is durable and my husband has the kind of job that if you don't have a very durable watch, you have a broken watch.
