I'd be all over it if it were an Asuka or Misato LE G Shock instead.

300 USD....as much as I like EVA and Rei, i'll get 2 1/48s instead.

[UN Spacy]

How much do normal G-Shocks go for? $100 at the most?

...and for $300 you'd think they'd include a little more than a slight color change and embeveled crest on the back. Does it play Cruel Angel Thesis? Does Rei's voice tell you the time?

No? Fogedaboutit.

I love Eva, but there's no way in hell I would pay that much for a watch, let alone wear it. Looks nice though.

I have far better uses for my 300 bucks.

It would catch my attention more if it had the Path of Sephirot on the face and the NERV emblem on the back.

I was gonna post this earlier, but what makes a G-Shock watch so special? I would get a Movado or a nice Guess watch for that price.

[Gaijin]

Yes, $300 is too much for a G Shock...when I first heard about it, I thought it's be in the $150 range maybe....not $300. It is a nice piece, just not worth the $300.

And I still may buy one since I have a thing for watches.

[JRock]

No thanks. I got a phone to buy.

its a cool gimmick but i think we all agree not worth the price, particularly when a regular g-shock goes for much less.

What makes them so special is that G-Shocks will last longer than anyone. Most certainly longer than a Movado or Rolex (pretty much any watch). They may not look as nice (personal opinion), but they'll last forever. But I have to say (and not just this Eva G-Shock), G-Shocks are pretty pricey sometimes. Overpriced as well.
