Since so many people love the Casio G-Shock, I took a look out of curiosity. My, are they ugly! The acceptable ones (MT-G black or silver metal) are really expensive ($900-$1,000)! You'd think they'd be able to hit upon a good color scheme when making so many different combinations.
I hear you. Functionally they seem to be everything you'd want in an outdoors watch, but I can't get over their size & aesthetics.
