"When I was in college in New York City in the late ’90s, the height of urban club/raver fashion was a “Baby-G” G-Shock digital watch that, with the press of a button, sent a tiny, digitized breakdancer bounding across the screen. There wasn’t a girl I knew who didn’t have one.

Two decades later, the ruggedly cool Casio-owned brand is making a play for male watch-wearers who prize toughness and high-tech performance in their timepieces with the release of its first-ever connected Gravitymaster watch.

They should send me one to test - if it survives a week on my wrist, then it really would be something special and deserve my "absolute toughness" seal :lol:
