Depends on what the work is.

Theyre large but sturdy watches.

I like Casio watches, and the military prefers them for the ruggedness, simplicity, & reliability.

I prefer Casios. They are equally hardy but much lower profile.

I think most watches are gaudy. There's something to be said about pure utility.

What do you mean by "Too boot" to wear?

It's not like you're wearing a Tag Hauer or Rolex or any other super fancy Rich Guy watch.

You never wore a G-Shock in the Army? Cops usually wear the shit out of G-Shocks as well, in and out of uniform.

Next youre gonna tell me you never wore or owned a pair of Oakleys either.

You don't have to worry about your Casio Watch being considered "High Tech".

And it won't be seen as a "Expensive/Prestige/Bougie" watch.

It's purely utilitarian.

No more gaudy than a pistol or a badge. I have an Iron Man colored G-Shock that my brother left me. That I would probably not wear in a work setting, but an all-black one doesnt seem as ostentatious.

Get one of these

But if you are set on a Gshock get one of the more squarish ones like this, rather than the bulky round ones LARPer ones

Always accessorize with something that hints that you're not afraid to get dirty or physical.

It ads depth and push hierarchy subconsciously

Are you ok with that watch getting scratched / nicked in your line of work?

That Skagen seems more like a "Fancy Party" watch than a practical one for EDC.

That's not a bad watch. And it's not at all what I'd call gaudy. Gaudy to me, would be something that screams "I spent thousands on this" like one of these

That watch is ugly as hell. Surprised Breitling would put out something like that.
