A g-shock for daily use

[dave123456]

figured I might request a g-shock for Christmas... any recommendations on a decent sized version that isn't top money suitable for daily wear?

by decent sized I mean reasonably small, I've girly wrists and big watches look pretty stupid...

thanks

GW-M5610-1ER. Reasonable price, small, solar, atomic and unobtrusive looks. All the G you'll ever need.

5610 is what I'm wearing right now.
Although, the idea of a g-shock that isn't a daily is a bit odd. They're all designed to take a beating - that's sort of the point?

The GW-9010 Mudman is also sensible sized.

Another 5610 owner here.

Black, solar powered, not too large (one of the smaller men's g shocks)

Had it for 8 years, it'd been used in the sauna, steam room, swimming pool, sea and ice with no issues.

Left it in the bottom of a bag for 2 weeks, battery was dead and the funeral march was playing.

1 day by the window and it was revived!

5610 for me too, solar powered with more than enough features. Radio control is useful for setting my manual winds and autos.

Wearing my stainless steel G510 cockpit this week. I've had this for about 10 years and it still looks as good as the day I bought it. Sadly I think they are now discontinued.

What about adding analogue to the look with the G-100-1BVMUR

Good shout. They have a 45mm case but because the dial is relatively small due to the G-shock styling, it wears quite small on the wrist. I wouldn't normally wear a 45mm case watch as they look like clocks on my wrist.

Mine doesn't look as good as the day I bought it because I take it climbing and it's full of scuffs. The bezel is like running your finger over a blunted serrated edge.

If you want something a bit fancier in the 5000 series case size/style then the GW-S5600-1JF is very nice IMO. Titanium hardware, solid machined titanium case back, same module as the GW-5000 and carbon fibre reinforced strap.
