When Did G-Shock Prices Go Insane?
I haven't bought any G's in a while, but now I'm looking for a new one and checking out the current models. Frogmen list for over a grand, and cool Rangemen are around $500. WTF?! I thought Frogmen were expensive when they were a couple hundred, but now...
What's going on?

Not sure, but I know that Adam has a TON of the new Rangeman models...I blame him and envy him for having them.

I was looking around as well and it's ridiculous.

Dshap, bro you must have been gone a long time because the prices have been whacked even back when Adam post his LBGT g-shock LE.

Is that the one that came with the vibrating buttplug that can withstand a 100m drop and is 300m WR?toxicavenger wrote:unixshrk wrote:Chocodove wrote:I was looking around as well and it's ridiculous.

Dude, even I'm priced out of the market now. Whether it's the cool JDM LE stuff or domestic Frogs for over $1K, I'm done.

New watch prices are stupid, vintage watch prices are stupid, and now GShock prices are stupid.

Couldn't agree more. Which is why new and vintage (most anyway) Seiko prices are so refreshing these days.dshap wrote:New watch prices are stupid, vintage watch prices are stupid, and now GShock prices are stupid.

I couldn't agree more. I've really enjoyed the 3 NAFTs I have. I'd buy more if they came out with an orange one.dukerules wrote:Couldn't agree more.

Really? Some are very expensive but I think they have a few really great values.streetracer101 wrote:Pretty much all retail Sinn prices are stupid.andrema wrote:is the Shorty Sinn price stupid?CGSshorty wrote:I couldn't agree more.

Re: When Did G-Shock Prices Go Insane?
Are we talking retail and LE G pricing? The standard models are still $200-400 range ish. It's the fancy color options that cost more than I got for my Pontiac from that used car place.

Re: When Did G-Shock Prices Go Insane?
The G-Shock prices are nuts. I always wanted a solar/atomic Frogman, but by the time they existed the price was enough to give me a coronary for a molded resin watch.

Re: When Did G-Shock Prices Go Insane?
It's been part of a concerted effort on their part to slowly nudge their average retail prices up. Yes, you can still get a basic G-Shock on Amazon for around $40-$60, but for the new stuff, like the G-Steels, Mudmasters, Rangemen, Frogmen, etc, you can expect to dig deep in your wallet. And that's not even talking about what's going on in the JDM LE market...
