Casio MRG-7500 G-Shock

Juniper Foo | Apr 24, 2007

Used to be when some of us were suckers for G-Shock watches, before Swatch stole its thunder as the timepiece to collect. To each its time. Though G-Shock watches have lost their Baby-G charm, Casio's hardy series still continues to tough it out in the rugged category. Its latest, The MRG-7500, claims to be its toughest model to date, encased in a shock-resistent metal housing and a virtually unbreakable sapphire glass. What's cool? Besides a plethora of bells and whistles, it recharges itself on solar power, so no need to worry about a battery meltdown. What's not cool? This oughta be renamed S-Shock, for sticker shock.
