They're better, if anything. Just a little pricier than they used to be though by watch pricing standards, they're still dirt cheap.

This one is that.
"Multi Band 6" refers to radio syncing with the 6 Atomic Clocks around the world.

Objectively this particular G-Shock is one of the greatest watches ever created -
- It's incredibly rugged which means it will take almost anything you throw at it. Even if you break something you can easily get replacement parts and fix it yourself.
- It's light-powered which means it will keep ticking as long as you expose it to light - even indoor lighting. Maybe in 12 or 15 years you'll need to replace the capacitor in it but that's cheap and easy to fix.
- It's damn near waterproof and can survive water pressures higher than everyone but the most dedicated divers may need.
- It's a quartz watch which means it will stay accurate better than the best mechanical watches and what's better it's synced to atomic clocks which means it will always be accurate.
- It has additional feature such as a stopwatch, alarms, etc.
It's probably the last true "tool" watch left and it's cheap and fairly compact unlike most other G-Shocks with a similar set of features.
Subjectively people may find it fugly and I can't blame them for that. It is a very ugly watch though that's half the charm of G-shocks.

One Day Cricket is broadly understood to be the 50 Over format.
Yeah a T20 game takes about 3.5 hours but that's not what "One Day" means in Cricket.

But you did want a piece of history in your hand. This is probably the only possible way I'm afraid.
Unless you're like stinking rich.

Why don't you try collecting coins?
Coins are common enough that even quite old coins can be had for cheap.
