I mean it looks cool, but I feel like it's moving into trying to be something it isn't. Seems gimmicky. At this point of design and at this price range you might as well get a mechanical Seiko, citizen or even a high quality Chinese homage/inspired watch wish sapphire crystal-- also without the big G-shock logo which I believe just cheapens a watch style like this. I think the GBM-2100 is a much better value and at least it maintains the core of what a G-shock is while also giving people their "luxury copycat" fix. I also think the GBM is good because it's not all metal,. I think all metal Casio's are kind of cheesy.. Personal preference. But anyway, that's my thoughts and I'm sure some agree and some won't. Cheers.

Edit: For people without any comprehension skills. This isn't a dig on the entire Casio lineup or brand. It's just an opinion on this type of watch style. Where G-shock drops all their usual features and just makes a basic quartz watch that purposefully looks like a luxury watch. And if you don't think this style was intentional, you're pretty naive.

One things for certain I need a new box or a bigger box.

My grail is a GWF 1000 frogman
Next acquisition is the GWBX 5600 negative variant

Lastly I’ll try out the 9500 mudman but it might be a sale in the end because not sure I’ll
Like it as much as I like my mudman 9300

These are the 24 that have stayed but I’ve tried them all. A lot comes into the collection/ rotation but only some stay

Never thought this day will arrive after daily wearing the F-91W(my first watch) for 7 years. This GD-350-1B ticked off everything I wanted(discreet alerts, big digits, etc) and none of the things I hated in F-91W(small buttons, weak led, no afterglow, no current time display in other modes, etc). The negative display will make anybody to believe it as an AMOLED display.

Wrist size: little over 6 inches. Felt a little uncomfortable and a bit heavy the first time I tried out the watch in a physical store but my stubbornness to buy it was even heavier. After wearing it for a few hours, the watch feels completely natural and not that heavy anymore.

Price Paid (India): ₹4.5k ($48)

After hearing everything about Casio having stopped the manufacturing of GD-350, I was kinda shocked to see the date of manufacturing on the box to be August, 2026(China). Probably the recent release of the new colour variant, GD-350S-1, was a hint that the series still has a good time left before being buried.

Just got this bad boy for $39. I honestly don’t know much about this particular one but I’m gonna learn! 😁

So these are the projects coming up. Hopefully there isn't too much snow to shovel.

Hey! Just received this GA-2100VB-1A in the mail and although it's harder to read in the dark then I thought it would be, I absolutely love the colour combination. I'm a huge purple/blue guy so this thing is perfect!

It's almost my thirty second birthday. I thought I would pull this one out of the collection for the next few weeks.

I wore this for the best part of eight years before developing a watch collecting problem. New bands from a side project but the original bumper. How many of you have the battered war heroes which have always been with you?

Different sellers on eBay from Japan are using the same exact photos for different watch listings, but the price differences are quite drastic. Has anyone else noticed this? I’ve seen this for all sorts of g shocks. Any idea why they’re doing this?

Picked up something fun from the MoMA last week.

First G shock since my mom bought me a DW6900 12 years ago for an academy graduation gift. Been wearing the Tudor as my daily but this thing just caught my eye. Goes quite well with green Crye imo. I’m going to see how it goes as a daily.

GW-BX5600 or GBD-200?

Would you rather have Tough Solar and a true set-and-forget watch, or step tracking and vibration alerts?

MB6 isn't useful everywhere, so the fact that both watches can auto-sync via Bluetooth is a plus compared to more traditional squares without that feature.

And for those who own both, which one is actually getting more wrist time?

I picked up this slightly scuffed M5610U for £30.

I've put screenshots of the linted listing together on one photo.

For the price and about 20 minutes cleaning I think this has to be up there as one of the best value watches I've ever bought!

The question now is do I wear it as it is, or use this as my excuse for one of the metal mod kits?

Another post before I clean it ,16 hour shift replacing a sewer line 💩

Ending up going with the Mudmaster B1000, wanted something tough and durable and something that would last me a long time. Really impressed with the quality of this watch. Got it for 510$ shipped to my door. My credit card had a spend 500$ get 200$ back offer so I figured it was a good time to use it. Already have my eye on a few other watches lol

GWG B1000 my beloved

I recently picked up both of these, because I wanted to get a G-shock but I couldn't decide which one. I got both the 5600 and the 5610. Planning to keep one and return/resell the other.

The 5610 Solar has a lot going for it, obviously. 15+ years before the solar cell needs to be changed, vs having to change the battery on the 5600 in 5 years or so.

(although I'm not bothered by swapping watch batteries, having done it several times recently with old watches, it is no longer daunting)

And of course, 5 alarms vs 1, an upper left button that is decently usable, slightly slimmer and lighter. Slightly more comfy (although they're both comfy to wear, really)

All great stuff. The only thing the 5600 really has going for it is that it's cheaper where I live (80 dollars vs 140) and... the screen isn't foggy.

Maybe it doesn't come across well in these pictures, but it's way more pronounced in person. The 5610's screen is just... foggy, or at least it looks foggy to me, and has a ton more glare.

Is this normal for this model? Did I get a bad 5610? Or is this par for the course?

It really bothers me every time I look at it. Glancing at my watch to track the time is the number 1 thing I do with it as I have to manage my time well at work. Seeing this foggyness every time is disheartening.

Advice/feedback welcome. If this is normal for the model, is there some trick or easy way to get rid of it?

I am not a Casio expert, please don't come at me with pitchforks or whatever if this is some well known issue.

Got my first ever G-Shock 2 weeks ago in the GW-M5610U-1 and haven’t stopped looking for more since.
Picked up this GA-B001-1A for £45 and after looking through here to see what checks I could do to see it was legit, connected the Bluetooth straight away on the Casio Watches app and was a happy man when it connected straight up 🙌🏼
Think I’ve made a great pick up here for the price

I’m a beginner when it comes to watch collecting, and I’ve always wanted to add a Casio to my collection. I couldn’t decide which one to pick, but as soon as I saw this G-Shock GR-B300H-5A model, I didn’t think twice. My only complaint is that it’s a bit too big for my wrist, haha!
