Worst g shock watch prototype apparently looked something like this. The designer saw a girl bouncing a ball at a playground and the idea was to put a watch movement inside a structure like a ball that would protect it from shocks. Obviously, this isn't the design that stuck best I'm excited because this new g shock apparently was heavily inspired by this original design. Okay. So this is the g a v zero one and a lot of people are calling this the ugliest g shock they've ever seen. Rank. This is absolutely huge. It looks like it was made by aliens or something. Now I was doing some research on this watch and one of the major differences between this g shock and others besides its over the top look is the hands. Most g shocks have fairly small analog hands that are by default kind of impact resistant. The issue when you make them bigger is that that resistance goes down. So apparently on this watch, they had to use a completely new structure with magnetic hands. There's also a storyline that goes along with this watch. It starts with a taped rubber ball g shock prototype which morphs into this creature that seeks adventures full of creativity and friendship. At first when I saw this watch, I was really confused. Best after learning about why they made it, I can respect it. Offer more peace.
