I would like to submit an impressive story regarding your G-Shock watch and it's durability and reliability. Perhaps it would make a convincing advertisement, and it certainly embodies the unexpected extra philosophy.
I am in my mid-30's and a full-time emergency medicine physician in one of Chicago's busiest ER's and trauma centers, as well as being a part-time Air Force fighter Pilot flying the F-16. I have been using your G-Shock watch for over 10 years and the current one I wear has an interesting story behind it. I had lost my prior G-Shock watch and was on a sailing and scuba trip to the British West Indies without one. While at a depth of about 100ft diving the wreck of the Rhone (the ship from the movie "The Deep"), a watch laying on the sandy bottom caught my eye. It was a G-Shock watch similar to my previous model that had been lost. It was functioning perfectly despite lying on the bottom for an unknown length of time. I retrieved the watch and put it on, and have used it ever since.
I have a rather active lifestyle and the G-Shock watch has been a constant and trustworthy companion through work, travel, combat, and hobbies. It has traveled with me along the Inca trail in Peru, scuba diving the Galapagos islands, hiking the Australian outback and diving the Great Barrier Reef, through the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, as well as a number of other demanding trips. And it will certainly accompany me on my planned trip the Tibet and Everest base camp.
The watch has been trustworthy through flying fighters in nine-G and super-sonic environments. It has served with me through over 1300 hours of flying the F-16 and over 100 hours of combat flying, letting me hack the clock for precision timing of all sorts with confidence. It has flown with me in my F-16 across the Atlantic and Pacific, to Turkey and Kuwait, and on patrols over Iraq.
It has also been with me through the demands of medical school, and the endless hours of medical residency. It was my sole timepiece through overnights at the hospital often working nonstop for over 35 hours at a time, and its alarm being there to ensure I don't oversleep those occasional naps that would be possible. Finally as a teaching ER physician, It has been reliable through all the demands of the ER, from trauma to heart attacks, and its durability and functionality is unparalleled. I don't have to worry about damage to the watch or it getting ruined by the down and dirty, and often chaotic, emergency room environment.
I can think of no other watch that could perform as well and as reliably as the G-Shock watch. From the highest altitudes to the deepest depths, from overnights in a hospital to supersonic flight, from desert sand to jungle rain to mountain air, the watch has never let me down. And all that from a watch that I found on the bottom of the sea. Certainly an unexpected extra.
In all sincerity,
Major "Smokin" Joe M., M.D.
