You're right, I was accidentally exaggerating a little. I just checked my Amazon order history and mine was 40 bucks. still unbelievably cheap for a watch that is bomb proof. ordered mine in 2019. I think I've worn it 90% of the time since then. still going strong. It's beaten out fitbit's and Garmin instincts.
I really wish they made a health tracker without a watch on it like the old original fitbit bracelets.
I would just wear the G-Shock plus the health tracker bracelet be perfectly happy.
I bought an F-91W after destroying my M5610BC for whenever I'm messing around in the yard. It's great! So cheap that I don't worry about getting dirt in it, scratching the bezel, or whatever. It keeps great time, is easy to read, and weighs nothing. What's not to like for that price???
I've gone through like 4 smart watches and any time I'm in a harsh environment always default back to the g-shock.
