thats awesome. thats not a bad price for what you are getting. ive seen other brands with the same materials that go for twice that much.

I agree. You will never see a Casio selling in the U.S. for that price though. Casio has a stigma of being a "cheap" watch stateside. They sell the same technology (some of it at least) under the name Oceanus in the states to get around the stigma. They don't look near as tough as G-Shocks though. And they are not rated for impact either. Dress watches.
