In the 2012 movie This Is 40, actor Robert Smigel wears a black Casio G-Shock GX-56 watch. We can see this is one scene where his character Barry wears it whilst also dressed in cycling gear. Arguably, this would be a sensible choice to wear whilst cycling as if you crashed, the watch would remain intact due to its durable nature.

The ‘X’ in GX stands for extra, as this watch is said to have the most features on a G-Shock watch. As a result, fans have even named it The King of G-Shocks which is obviously quite a complimentary nickname for a watch to have.
