Jolly Rogers Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I'd be all over it if it were an Asuka or Misato LE G Shock instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfx Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 300 USD....as much as I like EVA and Rei, i'll get 2 1/48s instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 How much do normal G-Shocks go for? $100 at the most? ...and for $300 you'd think they'd include a little more than a slight color change and embeveled crest on the back. Does it play Cruel Angel Thesis? Does Rei's voice tell you the time? No? Fogedaboutit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I love Eva, but there's no way in hell I would pay that much for a watch, let alone wear it. Looks nice though. I have far better uses for my 300 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druna Skass Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 It would catch my attention more if it had the Path of Sephirot on the face and the NERV emblem on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamui 777 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I was gonna post this earlier, but what makes a G-Shock watch so special? I would get a Movado or a nice Guess watch for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Yes, $300 is too much for a G Shock...when I first heard about it, I thought it's be in the $150 range maybe....not $300. It is a nice piece, just not worth the $300. And I still may buy one since I have a thing for watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDisco Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 its a cool gimmick but i think we all agree not worth the price, particularly when a regular g-shock goes for much less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreambrother Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 (edited) I was gonna post this earlier, but what makes a G-Shock watch so special? I would get a Movado or a nice Guess watch for that price. What makes them so special is that G-Shocks will last longer than anyone. Most certainly longer than a Movado or Rolex (pretty much any watch). They may not look as nice (personal opinion), but they'll last forever. But I have to say (and not just this Eva G-Shock), G-Shocks are pretty pricey sometimes. Overpriced as well.
