Considering the context of your photos, you've really offered up an excellent display of how these rugged CASIO's get used. If we were to look hard, I imagine we would also find a lot of TIMEX Ironman watches out there too. In sailing races, there are all kinds of mega-expensive timer watches you can buy, but the majority are G's and Ironman digitals.

Nice post. 8)
Love seeing watches out in the wild.
Its nice to see Casio's and them Seiko/Citizens at work. Many city slickers will see g-shocks as more of a fashion/trend watch, but you've showed how much of a workhorse and tool type watch they really can be.
I think its COOL to have a TOOL.
Thanks for the nice pics.
Dave.

Here is one vintage 6309 pic...
".....a member of the test parachute squadron at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., is treated for a broken thigh bone by fellow members and pararescueman, after his test parachute malfunctioned and wrapped around his face during descent at the Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The smaller reserve parachute caused (him) to descend faster than normal and, with his vision obscured by the test chute, was unable to anticipate the impact with the ground."
