Haha. That thing will outlast you.

They have a world record for driving a bunch of trucks over it.

And tried to explode them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2NMhP-utCY

Edit: The bullet one is a hoax. Dumb on me for not double checking. There are still plenty of legit videos of people subjecting the watch to damage that would maim or kill anyone wearing it. I think it's still safe to say the watch will outlast you :)

I found one (freewheeling, not radio/atomic) in a dry rocky wash halfway up a mountain in the Desolation Wilderness, CA, a couple of decades ago. It was half-buried -- it had obviously been dropped at least a year earlier, and washed down the cwm in spring thaws. You could barely read the face. We took it back to the tent, and the next morning its tinny alarm went off at 6:30am.

I lost a G-Shock from hiking a couple of years ago, but in a completely different area. FeelsBadMan Spent at least an hour pacing back the trail hoping to find it again. I tried again next morning hoping to hear its 7am Alarm

That's hilarious. Here I am just mesmerized by the solar charging.

I have one with solar charging and radio time setting, so I never have to do anything to it. I love the thing. Hope yours lasts many years.

Edit: just realised yours is radio set too! Enjoy.

Just cuz you never know... You know that bulletproof test is fake, right?

The explosion one I believe is legit.

Lol in the rifle video I'm pretty sure he just threw a bullet at the watch. It wasn't straight and still had the casing on it
