It’s still as ugly AF (“the solid, rugged look of off-road vehicles and survival gear”). It’s smaller than its G-1000 predecessor (4mm shorter and 2mm thinner) though 4oz heavier than the GWG-2000. More importantly, the G-SHOCK GWG-B1000 has […]

In my last post, I pronounced the new mechanical Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition over-priced ($1k and up) and unsuitable for its stated case use (outdoor activities). I concluded that it’s a Rolex Explorer wannabe. Which is no bad thing in and of itself. But the $575 Citizen is better. […]
