My G-shock died due to blunt trauma, and after years of using G-shocks, I decided to go for something a bit more streamlined. I wanted to stay with Casio and was pleased to find that they've quite a few lines out. After scanning the field I went for the Phys. This watch better matches my lifestyle, including jogging, calisthenics, and the occasional swim (If I SCUBA, my kit includes a watch). The watch isn't too obtrusive, has numbers that are bigger than my G-shock, and a brighter light. I probably won't use the lap features and whatever. As long as I have solar power, a stopwatch and an alarm I'm happy!
