i have the best gshock
nice ben-ten watch, dork. im sure your job at the office requires such rugged accoutrements.
I wear mine dirtbiking and that's about it
>>18733288F91W
>>18733352those break easy if you are actually active. i've gone through a bunch of them.
when you said g shockdid you actually mean… chronomat? look how chonky
>>18733288Well which one is it?>>18733352Not a Gshock
>>18733352Nice.>>18733551Yeah, but they're great.
>>18732441i used this watch in the army a million years agoi actually used the compass to do land nav and liked knowing when the sun was going to go downwould NEVER wear it outside of a tactical environment though
I don't own any Gokkun-Shock yet. Got my first Casio, aWS1600H8AV. I really dig the tachometer-style graphics on top. Turns out it uses a module that belongs to a 2000's watch made specifically for soccer referees. This is my first Casio after decades. Used to have a F91w on 3rd grade or so.I'd have prefered the standard grey bezel model, but it was a gift.
>>18734146Neat, damn. I was eying an F91W in silver, and it seems it'd look sick with that same NATO strap and silver buckles instead of gold. Got this bad boy (picrel) stuck at customs, as well. I really needed a stopwatch with higher capacity, since the ws1600h only goes up to 60 or 90 minutes.Will mod the shit out of both watches by erasing unnecessary lettering, and will apply gel filter mods to both. I just don't know what colors I'll use.I don't even recall where I got this recent Casio autism from. Fuck.
>>18732441>virtually indestructible watchesLads, how do I fix this? / Where can I buy a replacement bezel/shell for this DW-6500?
>>18734499Note that I've tried superglue on some spots about a year ago but it continues to crack in new places..
>>18734499The watch is fine, tis but a scratch. I love vintage G-Shocks but I stay away unless it has a bezel and band that can be easily replaced.
>>18734516It's actually worse than the pictures give of. I have a feeling the plastic is about to hand granade any moment, and when it does I would like to have it replaced in the nicest possible way
>>18734499It's resin rot and cannot be stopped. There was someone in Brazil who made repro bezels and straps for more obscure models, but I don't know if they're still in business. There are hundreds of models for which Casio has discontinued parts.
>>18734859:(One small push and the whole bezel will be flying off. She's yearning for the bin but I would like to save it if there are decent repro bezels. Do you know the name of the guy?
>>18734500>>18734499Superglue is what's making it crack more.
I really like the black steel look but I wonder if it's simply inferior to the resin model. Not only will it scratch a lot easier but the steel could get corroded.What do you think?
>>18734918Not who you are replying to but check out this Malaysian dude:https://g-shock.vintage.my/product-category/gshock/6500/
It's wageslave o'clock.
>>18732441why do g shock owners post their poop?
>>18734995Thanks anon. I will save the page for when it eventually an heros
>>18734988I think we have just seen a LOT of photographic proof that plastic G-Shocks can totally fall apart over time. I'm quite sure people aren't having rusted out metal cases.
>>18735122Yeah the timing was a bit funny with the photos above me. Though resin can still last practically indefinitely when not exposed to the elements so the half metal g shocks really seem like the best of both worlds. You don't get to pay more than twice the amount for the full metal model, and you get the protection and longevity of steel while the resin parts on the inside remain in pristine condition, untouched by the elements.
>>18732441Goofy ass ben 10 watch
>>18735905'bussdown' for the low flame jewel? What the fuck does that mean? What a disgusting watch.
>>18735919I thought that was the Ukrops trident in the corner for a split second and went CRINGE.
>>18735981How'd that work out for you?
>>18736695And again it will be ignored at best or you'll be banned for false reporting. Which is how I know you have never reported any threads for advertising and you never will. Because nothing is being advertised.
>>18737158>>18738350>>18732441i have this and i love it
Casio is the true 4chan watch brandAll japanese people have at least 1 watch from Casio
I mog you
R8 (I haven't worn them in a long time don't h8)
>>18742796you know you're jealous
My only 2 G's (for now)>>18735004>>18741110Wow, very nice models too
>>18742801i kind of am, and i would love some of those pieces as box queens, but i would never wear any of them
>>18742892I've worn all of them at one point (the calculator watch specifically is like my 3rd one) except the gold G-Shock and Black T80might get back into wearing them after I've slimmed back downstopped wearing anything else except my Apple Watch after I got fat
for me it's the ones that also show tidal info on top of everything else
>>18742795fukken nice>>18742898Why? Apple watch is the worst watch a fat person can wear
>>18742906I work in medical so the Apple Watch was just convenient and mostly unobtrusive and easy to cleanplus I always had a Pedometer complication on it since I got my first one as a gift. Always kept the idea of slimming down in the back of my mind even if I didn't have the motivation/enironment to do soLost about 25lbs so far; maybe another 15-20 and I might start wearing my old loadouts instead
>>18742910Fair enough, your wrist doesn't look fat
>>18742913it's just the angleIf I stretch the straps back down to my "normal" hole, it's much more apparent
>>18742795Nice color coded collection. Do you notice major differences between your T80's and small Casio watches? Which do you prefer? I only have one Timex but the T80 design looks nice.
>>18743017realistically, there's not too much difference between the T80s and the vintage Illuminators, although I tended to gravitate more toward the Illuminators simply because the band is much simpler; the Calculator watch was my daily driver for a while because of how often I was working in the hospitals but it got retired after I got my Apple Watch and just wore that to work instead. I wore the Claculator so much the rubber straps broke (extremely common) and at the time, new bands were $10 and a new watch was $15, so I just opted to replace the entire watch. Kinda surprised and frustrated at how expensive these cheap Casio watches are considering I remember getting the small ones for maybe like $20-30 a piece with the gold versions being maybe an extra $10-20, but looking them up recently out of sheer curiousity: some of them are going for almost and easily double thatThe small Casio's are nice because they realistically go with any casual/summery outfit and are super light so they make excellent lowkey wears in the heat. The T80s I typically wore for more business casual summer events since the band has a little more design to it (which is typically why I almost never wore the black one) but if you'd have to recommend between the two designs and could only pick one: I'd go for the Illuminators because they are just SLIGHTLY more versatile: although you can't really go wrong with either of themother than that; it's simple, and it's humble: so I'm pretty happy with my little "vintage" collection. I remember gifting my brother and a few friends some T80s at Christmas/birthdays/etc when they were cheaper and everyone was relatively happy with them as they realistically look like, and did the heavy-lifting of, a more traditional/expensive watch
>>18743026Yeah, prices have been creeping up. Small quartz watches are nice, I always take for granted how versatile they are in terms of wearablility considering their size and aesthetic design. Thanks for your input.
>>18743035that Casio is very nicehas a nice ratio between the case, bezel, and display; besides the Calculator, the Silver Illuminator was my second most-worn because it has a similar aestheticcheers mate, thanks for the love
It's a ruggedly handsome watch.
I'm looking for my first DW5600 and this looks nice. Do you recommend any other?
black one died when I took a swim, but I'm going to get another one
>>18741110When I was fat I used to rock a GD100 everywhere but really liked the squares but just looked too small on my fat wrists. Once I was under 220lbs I bought myself one of these to mark the milestone. Wear it everyday now.
>>18744661i own this and i like it. in low light the visibility is worse than a typical dw5600 but i don't care. i bought it for aesthetics first.
>>18744707I remember looking at g-shocks as a kid in the 90s. Is there seriously no serious competitor for the core customer base (blue collar workers with broken biological clocks) by now?
Is there a point in getting the multiband gshock if I don't live within range of any of the radio frequencies? I mostly just want the solar charging but not sure if it's worth to pay $50 more for that over the basic gshock without the bells and whistles
>>18745180Unless you're some tacticool operator needing to time stuff with your team by the second, I think a regular quartz will be perfectly adequate
>>18745180None, unless you need the bluetooth to sync the second with your phone. Your phone is always with you as a standalone device for accurate time, even without a watch.The wrist watch just serves as a faster way to tell the estimated time at a glance when you don't want to check your phone.
>>18745197>your phoneYes, because I carry a telephone with me everywhere, just like EVERYONE else. If I had another way to tell the time I wouldn't need a watch.
>>18745180i don't leave near any towewrs for the mb6 but i still bought watches with it because i downloaded an app and use it to get perfect time for my watches and i enjoy that. bluetooth is really gay imo, it's not waht i want in my g-shocks i specifically don't buy g shocks that have bluetooth
>>18745180you can use a phone app to mimic the sounds of the radio towers, it takes like maybe 45 seconds to a minute for me to get the signal. but i do live in the US.
>>18738350>G Shocks even stay working in indiadamn
>>18745646>>18746031>multiband g-shocks do those have electromagnetic shields? or something?
>>18746981idk what that means anon, they just pick up the radio signal that sends out the atomic time
>>18743410The metal one with the black metal strap looks really good without the logo and text on the bezel. I wish they had more options for the dial though
>>18747702>durr hurr i don't understand what are the EMF effects in electronics the GA-100 had it
which one should i get? both have shit visibility and details in red and they're sexy
Are GShock straps durable? Normal Casio resin straps usually disintegrate in like 3 years
whats a good gshock for army use? im currently looking at the GD350-1B based off a recommendation from a friend. so far, ive just been wearing a garmin
>>18732959Neat
>>18748116yeah i don't understand that, i'm not into electronicsgood observation anon
https://i.4cdn.org/diy/1785529265502433.jpgI decided I wasn't going to like the look of it all scuffed up so I decided to get a basic square for work instead
>>187484055600, 6900 and 9052 are the ones that have been issued
>>18745610These don't look good irl. It's so huge, no matter who wear it, it looks like a toy for kids
>>18739203>he turns himself into a wristwatch. funniest shit i ever saw
gay shock
>>18734988I have the bluetooth Casioak with the same metal bezel and the same strap as in the picture. I got it to replace the normal resin Casioak because the resin bezel loosened and it got more difficult to press any buttons.No such issues with the metal bezel. There are hairline scratches all over but I think it adds character, Gshocks should not be babied.
DW5000R or GW-5000U?
>>18752191This is fake. Damn you
>>18749273>t. seething wristletnot true
are negative displays worth it? regular ones, not the fancy stuff the gbd200 has
>>18754057Test one before you buy. But I would avoid negative regular ones especially if that will be my only watch, with a few exceptions. - I'll DIY change the polarized film inside to make it a positive display if I get tired of the display.- If the watch has a nice, aesthetic faceplate or dial that I really like.- Is on clearance sale.
>>18748260The red one is more readable. Negative displays in 5600s are shit.
>>18754057I don't know about the latest models, but 5600s were really bad. Got one, then another one just to be sure the display is not damaged and it's shit by design, sent both back. A very narrow angle to read the time without issues and it's close to useless if the day is cloudy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMpwQE1IxYg
>>18753545It depends, do you care about any of the functionalities of the GW5000? I think solar and multi band are neat, but if I didn't I'd probably have the DW5000 instead, it's more iconic.
>>18732441Has anyone made a watch that was literally bulletproof? I want to see a watch construction that will take an actual bullet impact from a gun and keep working.It would be a completely useless boast but I wonder if it could be done.
>>18754057the bx5600 negative with the MIP display is really nice. i ordered it from japan and it got lost so i ordered another from the same guy (positive display that time though) and then after i got the positive DHL found the negative display and finally delivered it so i have both. i gave the negative to my dad cause he thinks it's easier to read than the positive and he's old. i thought it looked really nice
I've owned my Gshock for a week and I've already managed to scratch the case fml
Thry look better scratched
My smartphone is great for telling time
>>18742906>>18742910Literally the corn syrup of watches.
>>18742899Ive been eyeing the tidal 5700s as my second g shock purchase. coming up on a year of my 5600 which is the only watch i wear anymore
What watch is my buddy Jason wearing here? I tried asking him but he won't tell me.
the classic square is great for sleepy dachshunds
Got this g shock back in like…2009 or 10? When I was in college and wore it for a few years, dug it out of a box and put a new battery in it and been wearing it again. Feelsgoodman.jpg
>>18733454Doing what? I motorcycle and hike in mine and take it to the sauna and it doesn't break
>>18748116Do you think the multiband watch is more exposed to radio waves than other watches because it has an antenna in it? Everything you own is bathed in radio waves every day. And they get even more EMF from nearby appliances than they do from the radio.
>>18734405I bought one of these (the one with the quirky map) already with the itention of replacing the case with an SKX steel one, and I accidentally broke the glass the first day I wore it. That thing is literal trash unless you mod it.>>18741110>>18753545>>187543455000 is ugly as fuck to me. Bought one and sold it a week later because I literally couldn’t stand the mirror effect of the solar panels. The strap also is NOT better as people say. 5600 forever>>18742899Strong agree with this. If only they made more tidal square models…
>>18762817>If only they made more tidal square models…they made a bunch but a lot were japan only, still plenty on ebay. i got this one for $80>glx 5600 - 7(?)
it has the cool light too
>>18762817>I accidentally broke the glass the first day I wore it. That thing is literal trash unless you mod it.No, you're just a clumsy dolt.
>>18763286So tell me why SKXmod sells thousands of cases only for AE1200.
>>18763784That has nothing to do with you being a retarded klutz.
>>18764177Okay retard
>>18759719Looks like a stainless steel case Suunto, but it also looks like a Casio SGW-100B
I bought this Casio G-SHOCK G-SQUAD GBD-100-2 in December 2023, and it has been a great experience. It is very durable, well-made, and excellent quality. I really love this watch.
>>18765117Did you drop it in a running garbage disposal?
The backlight is really nice
>>18765118No, lol. I mostly used it at the gym, on road trips, while hiking, and when climbing mountains, etc. And even after all that, the glass is barely scratched. Really good quality.
>>18765124It's just mineral glass, the design (bumps around the face) are what protect the glass.
>>18734499>>18734500>>18734521>>18734918How did this happen?How old is the watch?
>>18764197We accept your concession.
poorfags
>>18733454Really, I've never broke one and I've used it in some pretty harsh environments.

>>18765445I've seen other people call it a Nautilus clone/homage. Either way, Casio figured out that they needed another way to sell their magnetic-mounted hands aside from their G-Lapse monstrosities
>>18765422youve heard of the casioak, now behold, the casilus... the casinaut

>>18733454>>18765415>>18762803I wore one of mine on the inside of my wrist and cracked it doing a parkour wall climb, which is what sold me on the raised bezel of the G-SHOCK. The straps are notoriously for breaking so I replace mine with NATO/Zulu straps but the F-84W is better for this. I still like the F-91W/F-84W as less-bulky, lighter-duty alternatives to my G-SHOCKS.
New MRG and full metal leaked. This will be the first full metal with sapphire glass
>>18773120Interesting... sapphire is more likely to shatter but I guess this isn't one of their rugged models like the mudmaster or frogman
What's up my niggersS2100-BC is the best
>>18765369>not even a frogmankek lmao even
>>18774071I tested one, it fits very well for the sub 7" wrist. It just lacks the analog date hand.
>>18774274The original strap slides a lot and it's bent at a weird angle. The same problem as with full size 2100s. I buy chink adapters and replace it with a leather one.
>>18774890Those flaring straps that look like wings might have been designed as impact absorbers when the watch is dropped. I also find them visually big for square gshocks.
>>1875752520 year old me would have thought that's the coolest watch ever

Blue Rose project is coming to market.MRG-D5000Screwless design where the front and side casing are made entirely of lab grown machined Sapphires.$80,000 with a 20 person lottery on December 1. https://www.casio.com/intl/news/2026/1001-mrg-d5000/
>>18777357I was hyped for the gold one but it was $70k and a lottery. They should do a standard real gold release maybe in 14k, even if it's just the case or backplate.

>>18777364It's STN which is more legible than a standard positive LCD.
>>18777357Crystal and G-Shock is the worst combination possible. Acrylic and mineral glass gets scratches but doesn't break until it does, and when it does it's cheap to replace. Crystal glass CAN break and it's expensive to replace. There's no use for a brittle scratch- resistant material in a beater watch.
>>18777435G-Shock has used sapphire for a long time now. It's scratch resistant, durable, and cheap to replace. It looks like a multi-part design so it should be good. They test them to make sure they are shock resistant. It still has the G-Shock resistance.
I got the call.

>>18778318>he thinks Casio is going to use a high quality sapphire crystal
>>18777815That's pretty funny. Sapphire glass is very cheap but it's a feature they refuse ro put on any G-Shock base model under $800.
>>18778507If it's a G-Shock it will have to pass the same drop tests as their other watches. It will be the cheapest and most durable sapphire watch case on the market.
I went to the mall for an early birthday gift to myself expecting to buy a full metal square (GMWB5000D-1C) and saw that they had the new Gravitymaster. I tried it on out of curiosity and instantly fell in love with it. It wears very low-profile, it's lightweight, has a sapphire crystal, solar-powered, and has analog hands for everything. I've been wearing it for a few days now and it's worth checking out if you get the chance to see it!
>>18779024Why not this? Or MRG-B2100
MR-G brand having popularity surge right now?I really hope this brand gets more attention, they are just so so good
>>18779034I try to make it a point to try on watches in-person before I buy them, it was also something of an impulse buy. I'd like to see the MRG's in-person someday
>>18778892They'll put sapphire on a cheap Edifice with a snap caseback, but a full metal G-Shock? Noooo
I'll reskin this one and see what I can come up with.
>>18777789The flex of having a gshock that's more exclusive than a rolex is insane
>>18779777Nice trips, I also find this one insane.https://www.g-central.com/the-one-of-one-gold-g-shock-g-d001-sold-for-400050-at-auction/I wonder what exclusive model they will release next. The bar is always going up, and so does the price.
>>18778892>>18780516Really wish they gave this sapphire glass like the other Blue Rose watches. Casio's internal guidelines on putting sapphire crystal in G-Shocks is asinine.

Can Pro-Trek join the party too?Will pic related survive /out/ wear and be small enough to hide under my shirt cuffs when I’m in the office?Is that the smallest ABC-watch there is for my tiny wrists or can I go smoler?

>>18732441The simpler the gshock, the better.
>>18783669>Will pic related survive /out/ wear and be small enough to hide under my shirt cuffs when I’m in the office?Absolutely, Pro-Treks are second only to G-Shock when it comes to taking hits.
i need a watch i can wear all day and night and even hold under a running faucet or even in the shower in the worst casecan you guys recommend any? i do not own any watches
>>18786713
>>18786713ebay only, wv200. there are more colors
>>18734988hitman watch
nato strap. looks sick.
>>18786713Even the classic digital F-91/A168/... could work normally after being submerged, as long as you don't play with the buttons. I remember a watch forum where somebody run an experiment to find out when the cheap Casio gets destroyed by water. No accidental splash or submerging could do it.My own AW80-1av got in a water stream once for about 10 seconds and it didn't do a thing.
>>187880732100 vs 2300. what is the verdict.
>>18788073>black on black>can't see the hour markers for the most of the timeBrilliant design
I'm so disappointed the ga2000 didn't do better, it was overshadowed by the 2100. The black version remains like the one pictured here remains my favorite low end gshocks. It doesn't look overly tactical and fits with all casual fits. I can still buy some black GA2000s but none with the clean bezel like this one.
>>18779024That's a very nice looking watch. Convention tells me I should get a gravity master but I just love this gisnt ugly piece of shit here more
>>18779024Oh yeah I remember why I don't want one. I'm autistic about 24h subdials and hate them
