Very Satisfied with my 50m AMOLED.
Great Watch !! I’ve worn G-Shock for at least the 15 years and slowly started to trending towards a Smart Watch but didn’t want an Apple Watch due to my profession (Construction) , bought the 50m Amoled and I’m in love !! It still has the G-Shock Bezel look but with a sexiness to it , I’ve purchased a few different watch faces and switch them out every so often. Also not only do I wear it fur work , I customize a few things on the watch face and wear out as if it’s one of my higher end watches, I’ve never done that with my G-Shock , just wore it for work … P. S. A lot of reviews complain about AMOLED Vs. SOLAR and honestly I only need to charge it about every 3 weeks for a few hours while I’m asleep..
