This is not the sort of watch you could wear with a shirt, it simply won't fit under the cuffs.
Suprisingly despite it's hi-tech looks there's not a lot to this watch. It has all the standard alarms and stop watches, but not much else. The back light is very bright and green. I would have ... more
I'm the type of person who can see a picture of something and set my heart on it before I've ever tried it or seen it in real life, this is what happened with my G-Shock Watch.
I just loved the look of these watches, they've got a really rugged surfer look about them.

The first time I ever saw the watch in real life was when I bought it, the shop assistant asked if I wanted to try it on. I thought for a minute, why would I want to do that I'd already made up my mind. I did try it on however and I was a bit surprised this thing was huge. It had 2 straps, an inner soft band and an outer webbing strap with a large plastic clasp. The watch itself sat just over an inch high above my wrist!

Suprisingly despite it's hi-tech looks there's not a lot to this watch. It has all the standard alarms and stop watches, but not much else. The back light is very bright and green. I would have thought there would be a few more gadgets for the 90 pounds price tag.
I bought this watch as I wanted something I could use in and out of water and not be bothered about scratching or damaging it. The trouble is the watch is so big you can't help scraping it on things, walls, doors etc. Despite that I have never managed to scratch it yet. I've worn it in the sea a few times and the salt never seemed to do it any harm, although the strap takes about an hour to dry out.
Buy this watch for sports and swimming, but you'll need another one if you have to wear a shirt to work.
