Stuff I love: first g-shock ever (G-SHOCK DW 5000C, the first shock resistant watch) / lack of motivation for new year plans

Hi there, fellow runner! Today is 11th of January and to be honest it's not the start of the new year, almost half of a month passed and what about your wows and obligations to yourself, you made just before new year started? Are you still here in your healthy mind and working hard to reach your aims or gave up all efforts and left flags and banners behind? Are you going to be proud of yourself? If you feel a lack of motivation again ten what to talk about, I have a plan for you. Just do three things and feel happy this year.
  • Go to the gym or do anything like (run, swim, jump, carry that weight) on regular basis. Start today, do every day.
  • Do something for your other half. Something good. Regular.
  • Find and adopt or even invent nutrition plan for the new you. Use imagination. Be tricky.
Now you are prepared for your new life and new you. By the way, you can make yourself a gift too -- love +Casio G-Shock Watch , maybe? They are awesome, true. Today I googled for something new in g-shock universe and have found out some antique history stuff. You know what!

The first g-shock model was released in April, 1983. It was really long time ago. Here's cite from casio's web site.

In 1983, Casio released a new watch that overturned the thinking of the watch and clock industry. Amidst the trend towards thinner lighter watches, the novel rugged design of the G-SHOCK was based on the unique concept of a watch that could be dropped from the top of a building and still not break. When it was first introduced, the G-SHOCK was only popular in certain markets, such as the US, due to its unique appearance. However ten years later, fashion trends had changed, and after consumers took a fresh look at its functions and design, it became an instant hit worldwide. G-SHOCK established the new category of the shock resistant watch, and has become Casioês signature watch. 

And  here we are, 30 years later.
