    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

    Day 24

    Agent Ethan Hunt wore a G-Shock watch in Mission Impossible 3. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to upload a picture of your Tom Cruise impersonation. This G-Shock will not self destruct.

    Ive been reading so many pages, nothing really was in 2007 but Kanye started wearing the bright colours, so I was assuming thats the closest?

    I think I'd go with that as 50 million sales appears to have happened in 2010

    Pages I have been reading say it's their 30th anniversary this year so that would make it 25th in 2007

    This is a confusing one.

    G-Shock say they are celebrating their 30th anniversary but the first G-Shock was in 1983.

    The 1st link posed by moneybot (http://www.exilim.co.uk/press/shownews.asp?article=88) confirms this but it also states in that link that by 2008 G-Shock had sold over 60 million units.

    This would lead me to think the answer is 50 million units sold in 2007, but then the 2nd link posted by Moneybot (from the G-Shock site) says 50 million units sold happened in 2010!

    Maybe I'm just being stupid, but all the information seems to be contradicting itself!

    I would like to say I wasn't trying to confuse with any links I posted just trying to work it out :(
