We think of Rolex and Omega. But 007 has used Seikos too! Check this out.

Yes. During the quartz era James Bond adapted to the times by donning a Seiko digital quartz.
I'll bet that if Casio had invented the G-Shock back then, James Bond would have been spotted wearing one too.

I think G-shock should be like a daily wearer for Bond even in modern films.

As a matter of fact, Bond had worn Seikos in 5 titles (The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View To A Kill - all by Roger Moore, whom I trust must now be kicking his heels! :'() Truth be told, Bond had also worn other brands than Rolex and Omega, such as Breitling, Hamilton (Pulsar) and Tag Heuer! :o
