What a crock of ****e...that means your arm will be shot off but your wrist will still be sporting a lovely timepiece.

I remember as a kid when I got my first G-Shock and proudly showed it to all my mates boasting that it could withstand a drop from 22 feet. Cue loads of people climbing to the top of the climbing frame and lobbing it off

It worked a treat until some smart **** just stamped on it with his shoe...

Haha, that reminds me of when i was about 9 and spent xmas eve at my cousins. We all got up about 4am to rob some pressies early, as you do, lol.

I got a watch, it said it was shock proof, so i decided to throw it down the stairs.

It broke.

I think that meant the shock of paying that much for it would wear off after time

A harsh but valuable lesson you learnt at 9 years old about the topic of "marketing spin"

But can it do this?



Or this?



The not being able to blow your way through a concrete door I could probably live without, not being able to merve some posh tarts norks is a deal breaker for me
