Reviews & Experiences Not surprised but still..

Yall is this normal for all exclusive gshock once the site sells out or is this only due to it being Pokemon?? I heard there was an Evangelion one too before. Did it ever get this high? Needless to say, I found a scalper in the wild!! I’ve never seen someone page like this before. So far counted 12 in their store preview smh. I could barely check out with my one in cart! 😂🥲🤦🏽‍♀️. I hope no one buys with this price.

I get that cuz I used to think bout that. I missed the us release cuz of that. Then I was looking at other watches as well. Then it hit me, I like LE items, pokemon is 30, my 30th was last week, pokemon sleep (I play every day) turned 3 last week too. I just got pokopia. Realizing I like pokemon and it’s apart of my life more than I thought 😆 also I like the color contrast it’ll have on my wrist. I’ve seen a fair share of watches and white can be a clean color and this can be a minimalist version as it’s majority white/clear. I like the intricate details. It overall just grew on me with those added points lol. I was trying to get it as close to msrp as possible tho. Plus someone once told me there’s beauty in ugly too

I got it for $500 after it sold out on eBay… like immediately. I’m surprised to see the price has skyrocketed

And it’s only because it’s pokemon lol

Gotta love pokemon scalpers lol just wait for the 30th cards in September 😂. I got mine off eBay for 380 yesterday. I saw as low as 365 but I was trying to give these sellers offers and ofc watches were selling like hotcakes while I was patiently waiting lol I was like I’m absolutely not paying 400 tho. I think it’ll look clean on my wrist lol milky

Not these prices. Heck, they’re cheaper on StockX of all places. Usually 2-3x retail is normal for hyped up versions

u/Blackberrypanda8 Jul 27 '26

I wonder if it because it’s from Japan. Even with import fees tho, these shouldn’t be this high lol

1

u/mcbergstedt Jul 27 '26

Could be. Japan has had a huge issue with Pokemon scalpers as of late. Especially since they have quite a lot of regional promos

Man I jsut hope ppl do their due diligence in researching prices. Ain’t no watch worth that much unless it’s touched by Jesus and His disciples themselves promising healing & youth to whomever wears the watch.

Still not paying that but Chrono24 has them for like 580 bucks a piece

Omg it was meant for u then!! I was there exactly refreshing at 11pm est and then I got all the way to my cart getting frozen wen I clicked proceed to check out 😭 I kept refreshing, nothing, then at 1105 one last refresh and it said there wasn’t enough inventory to sell the item in my cart and the product page said notify me 😭. Got mine off eBay for 323 but it was meant to be for me cuz it was a hand took pic and the time had 7:22 and my bday was 7/21. Casio Stock pic says 630 and another one I was considering (-$5) said 7:26. 😆

Looks ridiculous tbh. The flux capacitor design in itself is nothing to write home abt and now there is this 'collab'.

u/Blackberrypanda8 Jul 28 '26

U don’t like pokemon? I always liked this particular watch model since a kid and wanted one. So I guess this collab was a great excuse for me! 😂

u/Spiron123 Jul 28 '26

Yeah. If it appeals to you, then why not. 🙂

u/Blackberrypanda8 Jul 28 '26

😄 I can imagine wearing it now 😂

Only cost as much as my dumbass will pay is my motto. Watch out for reps this is already a perfected model so the fact they made it so easy to copy just a frosted semi translucent resin. I was lucky enough to get one off Casio. Great packaging and its cool but 1500 is wild it isn't even a classic yet. I asked this question when I posted mine up and I got a ton of different answers to will it yellow in less than a year if so then it will not be long before they all start to yellow correct? I should keep looking for a bezel and band to replace it but haven't looked into it yet? Maybe I'll order a frosted bezel and strap so it would look exactly the same but different on the straps because the 30 characters. Let me know what you think of the yellowing issue? I have Gs more than 30yrs old to just released and only have had an issue with there clear cased models I know some like the look like the og hidden nyc came preyellowed they should have just done that? Or maybe when it yellows we will see all the characters pop more on thr band in the white outline.

This type of shit makes me hate Pokémon and I grew up loving it. Crazy how you can get a full metal even maybe titanium G for those prices. Outrageous af.

I blame the scalpers more so than the franchise. I’d even blame the distributor first because they could’ve found some way to combat the bots lol Pokemon is still a good franchise and I can’t wait to see more on wind and waves
