I definitely don’t love the look. There are tons of better looking watches but analog perpetual calendars are crazy expensive, classic digital watches are ugly and smart watches have to be charged regularly. The only other brand I was considering was Festina but their connected watches are huge. It’s crazy but g-shock was the only thing I found that had digital date in dd/mm format and didn’t have heart rate monitor.

if that was your clear use case, i kinda get that. dd/mm date on watches are rare, and perpetual calendars are only something i heard of in rolexes, and i would rather write a date on my hand with a ball-point pen each day before i buy a rolex for what they ask for it

And I find watches with analog (non perpetual) dates useless because they will randomly jump a day at the end of the month so I can never really trust them.

Isn’t that one of the clear use cases?

Sounds like an upside.
