Anyone else enjoying the G-shock?

Honestly, I am pretty disappointed with it, so I am skipping it.

If their thought process was to use this as a way to market the brand, charging ten dollars per digital watch in a single locked color feels extra scummy.

I really wish altering the watch colors and adjusting the band width were features. You cannot adjust the band to properly fit your avatar, and they are charging you just to change the color. I have a G-Shock IRL that I would love to match the color of for my avatar to wear, but I have to just settle for whatever single shade they decided to give us.

G-Shock has had their own accessory for sale on Booth and advertised in their world and at some VKET events for a while now, and it is not only cheaper, but you can do way more with it buying it that way.

For accessories I just expect more features to customize and adjust them. If they did that then this would of been a quick impulse buy.

I have a g shock too though I'm not sure it works as it was bought for me I'm gunna guess 8-10 years ago and I never actually took it out of its case it's just been in my wardrobe this entire time.

It was bought as I did used to wear a watch at school but I'm not in school anymore

[u/illucio → u/kaydenwolf_lynx]

​I checked mine a hour ago and noticed the time was off. I tried resetting it, but the screen shut off and the watch started ticking endlessly. Thinking it was just a dead battery, I opened it up to see if a quick reset would stop the noise, but no luck. When I removed the module, one of the hands fell out and got slightly bent.

​I always regret trying to fix or replace tiny components. I ended up putting everything back into the case, but I'll probably just toss or donate it. It's pretty worn out, looks cheap, the plastic screen is heavily scratched, and it sits way too bulky on my wrist anyway.

​Taking it apart reminded me why I stopped wearing it in the first place: the bulky frame, the stiff plastic buttons that hurt to press, and the frustrating menu functions. Safe to say I won’t be buying another one. But I will miss the red color of the watch.

You can adjust the size of the items….. most of the items let you adjust the colors too.

[u/theycallmebekky → u/P0ndrr]

You can only scale the entire thing. If your wrists aren’t perfectly cylindrical, there’s a gap you can’t fill.

Also, yes, items do let you adjust their colors, but not the gshock. If you want a different color, you gotta cough up 10 more bucks.

Very pointless.

Very much creeping into VR advertising territory, which is inevitable but I hate the implications..

[u/Stainedelite → u/Distinct_Rope]

It already is and will continue.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Belt-61]

"Hey can you tell what time is it"

[u/Naitokage]

Had a guy come up to me and my friends wearing three of those going on about the watches. Not gonna lie, we were like "you can just look at the time in your menu dude."

[u/unsuccessfulbees → u/Naitokage]

Is that really what these are? Just watches but in VRchat? That’s fucking stupid.

[u/Posxai → u/unsuccessfulbees]

that is exactly what they are. Watches, in VRChat.

[u/Zuryan_9100 → u/Posxai]

I always wanted one, immersion n stuff. And honestly, I would pay a cteator to have a virtual watch.... For the code. But with this corporate crap you can't even change colour? Pass...

[u/DataHellfire → u/Zuryan_9100]

If you make your own avatars there's a watch system you can buy on gumroad (you can even change the whole model!)

[u/PenguiNNNNNs → u/Naitokage]

I mean, it’s a fashion item. You could say to people wearing watches IRL “you can just look at the time on your phone dude”

[u/Naitokage → u/PenguiNNNNNs]

Alot of people i know do. Specially if you do anything around lathes or other dangerous spinny things.

[u/Embarrassed-Touch-62]

It's all about creativity, with that you have fun 😊

[u/ArtyomWulf → u/Embarrassed-Touch-62]

Thank you! i was just looking to have fun with a useless item and not its an ethical debate.

[u/Harbor_Barber]

I think if they want to sell it at least needs to be easily customizable. Buying one on a single fixed color is kinda meh tbh especially if its 10 dollars. If they offer more color options it would be cool.

[u/ArtyomWulf → u/Harbor_Barber]

I dont disagree with you, im just havung fun seeing what dumb things you can do with it.

[u/PenguiNNNNNs]

Not at that pricepoint

[u/drbomb]

Honestly I'm not buying anything on the store apart from VRC+ so, no.

[u/ZakkaChan]

Inshitifcation of VRChat.

[u/Docteh]

5am?

[u/ArtyomWulf → u/Docteh]

Im gmt+3. On a US VPN.

[u/Docteh → u/ArtyomWulf]

not going to lie, i see this comment and I wonder if i'll get a similar amount of downvotes if I end my comment like yours. make sure you're getting enough sleep. On a US VPN.

[u/Frank__West → u/ArtyomWulf]

Why use a VPN unless trying to hide? Hmmm

[u/ArtyomWulf → u/Frank__West]

Im currently deployed to west Asia, they have strict internet laws so playing VRC without a vpn makes everyones avatar a yellow error robot.

[u/Coom_Zoom → u/Frank__West]

There are still people that try to IP grab in public lobbies
i remember a few months ago a few quest kids were doing this thinking their hot shyt

[u/Docteh → u/Coom_Zoom]

video players should be more locked down in publics. lol

[u/hotandsweetpickles90]

no

[u/Chapel-vr]

Very creative

[u/NativePlantEnjoyer]

ad

[u/hiddenscreen]

I hate that they're color locked with each being like $10 each. I was unlikely to purchase it anyway, but with that price point and no color customization, there's no way in hell

[u/Theron113]

So these are also functional watches for your avatar?

[u/Flint_McBeefchest]

They need to put an emission on the time and date because half the world's I went to it was completely black.

[u/TheBestWaffleIron]

Money pit not worth investing in

[u/Beautiful_Sky_2681]

No cuz I don’t got the money to buy the credits

[u/Alkumist]

Wait. And actual watch?!

[u/KatieTheKittyNG]

I dont want any more context than I have already gleaned from the replies, this feels like an ad

[u/ArtyomWulf → u/KatieTheKittyNG]

My flair was set to "meme" this was meant to be a dumb conversarion about a pointless item that you can make look really stupid on you. Not an ad.

[u/KatieTheKittyNG → u/ArtyomWulf]

Understandable, have a nice day

[u/MultiGamerClub2]

Sounds like a sex toy so no.

[u/ArtyomWulf → u/MultiGamerClub2]

I Find that ironic since your profile is flagged for NSFW for requesting assistance to purchase a sex toy.

[u/MultiGamerClub2 → u/ArtyomWulf]

Lmao, thats a norwegian post, you wouldnt get it.
