Orient Star Open Heart Modern. You can see the gears move through the opening. Very calming to me.

I like G-Shock too but wouldn't know where to start.
Actually I do. I call it the Casio Ultra Magnus G-Shock. :p Definitely getting this first.

  Is it just me or are G-Shocks the Swatch Watch of the modern era???? LOL

 
-I don't know, to me the Swatches were always somewhat understated even with the splotches of colour - probably I got that impression as the case sizes were rather moderate, at least compared to today's offerings.
 
The G-Shocks, on the other hand, subscribe more to a 'more is more' design philosophy - call it wrist maximalism if you like.
 
Both ranges do have (at least!) one thing in common, though - sensibly priced, decent watches and collections large enough for anyone to find something they like.

Always liking the Rasta!

This is one that looks so nice that I don't really wear it all that much, but is still a little more special (not limited, but a little bit tougher to find) G-Shock.

Not quite.  All G-Shocks are functional as they can take immense abuse and keep on ticking, and the ones that utilize Multi-Band 6 capabilities are the most accurate out of any timepiece, regardless of price, in the world.

  I just recall when Gshock watches were plain and nerdy people wore them.... now they have color and a cult following... LOL

 
There are enough sub-brands and models of Casio and G-Shock watches (thousands) to suit just about every person.

I think the poster was referring to the variety and collectability aspect, as well as the allure of special editions.
 
As watches, G-Shocks are of course very different to Swatches.

Who knows exactly what he was thinking?  I took the LOL at the end of the OP not as an "allure of special editions".
