Heading to a 90's partay this w/e so desperately trying to find all the worst 90's things.

Found my old G-SHOCK watch and it is peak shitty 90's I love it. It even tells you barometric pressure for some reason.

those G-shock watches are good

and they still work even when the internets and phone system is down!!

I'm also not forced to use my phone ( I'm looking at you fit bit 🤬, fit bit is now a security risk and basically a brick)

And you don’t need a new one every 3 years. Mine’s 9 years old and still perfect. Changed battery and band once.

Nice.. They're so fancy these days.

This one's face illuminates when you turn your wrist at 45 degrees which was mind blowing in 1998

Heavy sand trooper vibes.
