The trick to not being cringe is to deny its an actual thing. Cringe culture is basically about punching down, and if people use it against me so be it. They are bullies anyway and I dont have time for that. I just turned 39 and do you know what I bought myself for my birthday? Some fucking Pikachu crocs:

They also had some light up motion sensitive Pikachu croc charms that i have added to the backstrap so when I walk I complete the I'm 10 and love Pokemon look. I wear mostly t-shirts with ether Trains, Brony shit, Pikachu, or some other furry crap on it. I have super limited interests when it comes to my fashion and no motherfucker is gonna stand in my way.

And do you know what I get mostly from people when they see me confidently wearing my fit? They love it and complement me on it and even if they are doing it sarcastically its not like my autistic ass is gonna understand.

Cringe is the mind prison, embracing it is the only way to transcend

No. I love Casio. I rock the Osama Bin Laden watch myself

Heather from Silent Hill 3 wears a gshock and this is the reason I wanted one in high school

Gotta wait til your 40 for that level of drip

if 80 year olds can wear apple watches you can wear the gshock

While people are sort of right about how life's too short to be worried about cringe, cringe does definitely exist, and people will always unfortunately judge you for things.

If you're a self conscious person, but you're happy with the way you're experiencing life, then continue to live life in a way that you're comfortable. I'm confident, but I'm also quite self conscious, and on the whole enjoy being quiet and humble, watching the world go by. I like to blend into my city's mid toned navy, brown, green and grey colour palette. As such, and I don't mean this as an insult, I personally would not be most comfortable wearing such a brightly coloured (garish, perhaps) watch, nor the Pikachu crocs somebody posted.

It really depends what vibe you're trying to put across. Fashion can be a signifier of interests and subcultures. I could probably sort my workplace by fashion and it would directly correlate friendship groups, music taste, and so on, without anyone of them really intending on wearing a group signifier. This G-Shock watch, I am sorry to say, by my harshest judgment, could be sorted into the harry potter/funko pop adult fashion category.

At the end of the day it's about how you want to be seen, and what makes you happiest to wear. But to be frank, yes, a big red G-Shock could be considered cringe to those who are cringe-inclined. To those who aren't cringe-inclined, it's just a big fun colourful watch. One can only respect the boldness.

If wearing a GShock is cringe, I don't wanna be not-cringe.

If you are seriously asking tho and don't do a lot of outdoors stuff, opt for an atomic model because it's cool as fuck but don't bother with solar. The idea is neat but I have to toss my in the window every couple of months for a few days to charge. It's supposed to charge from ambient light but it's not great.

You're too old to worry about being cringe. You're not a candidate for cool anymore. Sorry.

you shouldn't not buy because it would be cringe, you should not buy because that watch looks like shit

Can the watch survive g-shock forces? Can you dive underwater with it?

Love the deep red. Needs some yellow hammer and sickle hands.

buying any type of watch is cringe under any circumstances

Buying things is always cringe, you might as well buy what you like and not worry about others' opinions.

Buddy, New Balances and other chunky dad shoes are trendy streetwear items now. Wear a g-shock, lord knows it’ll become a fashion statement in a couple years. I plan on getting a Casio world time.

Part of growing up is realizing that there are worse things to be than cringe

Did you check out japan only g shock watches?

It's only a google image search. I'm sure there are sites dedicated to Japan only stuff.

Any G-shock watches you can only find in Japan? : gshock

nah, just get the biggest one you can find, like make sure you can't even reach your hand into a standard mailbox

I think as you get older you should be more secure about your self and shouldn't bother about what other people think as long as it does not bother other people.

Well, if you work somewhere, you should comply with your workplace's dress code.

I'm way pass 40 and currently I am wearing a smart watch with an orange strap and Goofy watch face.

Just buy it if you like it, and if someone says they think it's cringe, tell them to piss off and mind their own business.

Buying a rolex is cringe, gshock is for the cool kids

I have a gshock. Lol. It's my favorite watch, though the illumination doesn't work since I took it apart and put it back together.
