Casio G Shock - which is the daddy?
Fancy one of these for sport type stuff, and I quite like gadgets 
As far as I can see, the Sea Pathfinder SPW 1000 does the most stuff, and then the Pro Trek PRG 90.
Anyone got one?
Not sure I need the radio control though?!

The 2 you list aren't really G Shock watches as such. They are hardy outdoor watches but the G Shock are built differently and will withstand a lot more punishment.
I have a G Shock MR-G titanium that is around 4 years old. It has suffered MTB falls, motorcycle accidents and been exposed to extreme temp. in house fires at work and has only recently given me any bother. I have sent it away to Casio to get it water tested and probably get new gaskets fitted.
A truely excellent watch and to go and buy any other titanium watch that would wear as well would cost me several hundred pounds....although I am looking at some of the Suunto watches at the mo and might just endup with one of them too

Had one of these for years now:
DW6600-1V - Casio G-Shock DW6600-1V - Casio - Watchzworld.com - Detail
Great watch, never let me down, still going strong. I was watching the Italian Job on DVD the other night & near the start where they pinch the safe by blowing it through the floor the diver who opens the safe is wearing the same watch - you get a great close up of it for a couple of seconds !

Had this one for a weekday watch about 3 years, worn to work all the time and has been totally bomb proof. Could do with a new battery now though so might get a new G-Shock instead!
