$1300 for a watch that any number of $50-$100 Casio G-Shocks that can do more than it can.
Everyone I've run in to in the military, overseas government contracting, and first responder community was always wearing a G-Shock or other cheap, tough watch they wouldn't have a second thought about replacing if it broke.
Seriously.
I swear, some days in Iraq I thought Casio was outright helping sponsor the damn thing just to sell more watches.
While this is a fine looking watch, for $1300 they damn well better straighten out the date as a vertical display instead of slanted so it's at least on par with a $50 Casio Duro.
If I was a watchmaker and wanted input on a watch that can handle rough sea conditions, I'm heading to the U.S. Coast Guard for input instead of the Germans because the USCG is responsible for a *lot* more coastline with varying temperature and weather conditions than the Germans.
Honestly, has no one seen an episode of "Deadliest Catch"? The Coast Guard regularly works in those conditions.
The German Maritime Search and Rescue Service, not so much.
Of course the Coast Guard would just tell me "Why? We already have the G-Shock."

NonyaI have no doubt G-Shocks are durable. Some even look cool. Unfortunately all have many features I just don't care for. I want my watch to do only one thing and it is showing the time . Not long ago I went to Home Depot to buy a shower head and found at least 20 types with 5-8 useless settings but couldn't find one without any settings in good quality. To me G-Shocks represent the same as the 8 settings shower heads.

NonyaIt might be my OCD but I don't like to surround myself with useless gimmicks. I could keep explaining it to you but I can't understand it for you.

NonyaThe Casio G-Shock certainly does more and technically speaking is the better ⌚ but that's not the .
We may say the same for the Rolex Sea-Dweller or the Omega Planet Ocean, but for this kind of ⌚ we must take in consideration the luxury status... this Mühle Glashütte is not on the same luxury tier than the Rolex or the Omega, but its certainly @ a notably higher status than the Casio.
