If you want G Shock, there is only G Shock to buy. Period. Check Mudman, Frogman, Riseman series.

If you want "functions" check the Casio Pro Trek series. But be expensive.

What functions are you looking for. Even SUUNTO has good offerings. Depends what you want.

LOL. Just one. But have some other watches, and am generally interested in horology.

Thanks, can I order them online or buy it offline from store (I am in Bangalore) ? I think I can get 5-10% cheaper online

EDIT - I checked mudman, frogman, riseman and their pro series, I think those will be too feature rich and costly for me. I am looking for something in 6k to 8k range,

Up to you. Just make sure you are getting from a authorized retailer with Casio Warranty. I bought all my G Shocks online. :)

Well, in India I got from ebay.com and another Casio from Flipkart.

Well, I kinda go like one from each variant. :). So you go and see for yourself what you wish. Classic, Military(Mudman, Riseman, Rangeman), Aviation, Diver(Frogman), Garish or Gold etc. Which look you prefer. As one persons may not be suitable of likable to other. :). They have the same type of watch in different styles also, check the links to understand. So you really need to see the website and then check what is available for you. Pricing of the same type with different vendors will also vary. Never understood how. Yea, all original with warranty. Still. :S

http://www.gshock.com/watches/Classic/GDF100-1B

These will be some of my picks too. I got the second one in these. First one, not going to get as its just a different style. The third one, I may. :D :D :D

My future list, Waiting for the prices to come down. So it may be few years...

For your first G, I picked few of the most iconic, classic ones. Avoided all the negative displays also. Baby steps. :). Any of these you wont go wrong IMO.
And with these, people wont think its some knock offs or wanna be. This is G.

I have the first one ;)

@m-jeri and @toxicdrift - Thanks alot, just one last question, why so much cost difference between 2nd and 3rd ? and what is the minor difference between 1st and 2nd ? just the design ? I may buy the 2nd one (10K+) if you guys says so :)

The first one runs on solar, shows temperature. The second one has digital compass, world time, temperature and runs on solar. Third looks like a basic function watch with Moon Tide. I may be wrong. No clue about the price difference part. :)
