Now I'm curious, do you have some examples?

Look up gshocks around $300 on chrono24 etc. then go look up the new MSRP

There are collectible models that sell used higher than they were new, but for the most part they’re much cheaper

Then there are lines like MR-G. hand hammered metal cases made out of premium materials.

Oh yeah I never heard of chrono24. I'm not a watch guy at all :) I was just interested because I used to have casio watches when I was young. After which the mobile phones emerged and I stopped wearing a watch at all, until they started doing more interesting stuff (payments and notifications are what interests me mainly).

Tbh I actually stopped wearing smart watches and started buying G shocks because I don’t want notifications lol

Well yeah I do really prune them deeply especially for my watch (it has its own notifications list). I only let the most important ones through.

But even on my phone most chats don't trigger notifications. I just see them when I see them. Only the most important people can trigger them.

It's entirely possible that the more expensive "G-Shocks" were Mr G. I remember seeing wording about titanium cases, etc., but most of it was in Japanese, so the only thing that jumped out at me, were the price tags.

The MR-G models are priced in the thousands.

Not offhand. I got the watches in that big Akihabura store, about 20 years ago, and they had a shitton of G-Shocks, as well as Oceanus. I saw several 6-digit prices.

Many of the folks I worked with, could afford good watches, and wore G-Shocks. They were quite proud of them.

I suspect you’ll see them on the Japanese Casio site.
