I’ve had my GBD-200 for a bit over a year and honestly it’s the best watch I’ve ever owned. I wear it every day, it’s still on the original battery, and the screen contrast plus notifications are pretty much all I need.

A few weeks ago, though, I noticed the rubber strip under the light button is starting to bulge out. It’s been getting worse slowly, and I think it’s about maxed out by now.

I know it’s a small thing, but it really bugs me every time I look at it. It’s also right where the watch tends to get bumped or snagged on stuff, so I’m worried it’ll just get worse over time.

I’ve reached out to Casio about the warranty and I’m waiting to hear back. My guess is they’ll say something this minor isn’t covered, so I’m already kind of resigned to buying a replacement part.

So, is this a common issue? If I replace the part, is it just going to happen again? Or did I just get unlucky?

I’ve seen a couple of other posts here from GBD-200 owners with the exact same thing, but it was usually mentioned in passing and nobody seemed too bothered.

Am I being way too obsessive about this, or does it annoy anyone else too?

Meu DW 5600c-9cv 1990.

This is my baby, the best watch I've ever owned. He's had 2 straps, 6 batteries & lost his waterproof gasket when taken in for a service, I used it quite often when surfing but unfortunately the technician broke its gasket & there are no replacements available in South Africa, regardless, great watch, would recommend!

Picked it up yesterday and it's gorgeous 😎 very chunky but I have fat wrists so it fits nicely 🤣

I never buy a watch on impulse, but this specific colorway completely blew me away the moment I saw it, so I immediately went searching for it online. I was lucky enough to find one, literally the very last one available, and grabbed it right away.

It’s simply stunning, and the legibility of the hands is fantastic even in poor lighting conditions. Really awesome watch, aggressive style, yet super comfortable and not overbearing on the wrist at all.

Some call it the "Batman," but to me, it screams Caterpillar, especially with that cool little octagonal dial featuring black and yellow grid patterns, just like the rest of the watch. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

Duro look but with multiband 6 and tough solar preferably 45mm+

Any advice on maintaining it & how has your experience been so far with this mudmaster ?

Just a snap of the moment

Is this thing normal for a brandnew g-shock? I'm not entirely sure if i may have peeled it but i don't think a simple scratch from my nail while trying to open it will cause that right?

It gets me every time how elegant and beautiful this baby is. And it’s soooo comfy to wear ❤️

I never thought i needed snakeskin on my bezel!!

Whilst in Greece recently, I was looking at some G-Shocks in a watch shop and the owner brought out a DW-5040RX-7ER to show me. I’d seen pictures online and hadn’t been interested, but the feel and look of the watch in person was amazing.

The watch had been listed at €340, but she would sell it to me for €240 (new old stock) but I did some quick research and turned the watch down.

Part of me regretted not buying the watch, but it was overpriced.

A couple of days ago, I was browsing an online, used marketplace and came across a second-hand DW-5040RX-7ER for sale, in mint condition and with all boxes/paperwork. The seller wanted £160 and I offered £140, which was accepted.

The watch arrived yesterday and it’s amazing- it’s going to get a lot of wrist time!

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.

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.

Thank you for coming to my G-Talk, sorry about the rambling style. Just felt like doing it off the cuff.

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

I bought my GA 2100WD thinking I would love it. For a few reasons it’s not been a watch I’ve enjoyed. I’ve listed the reasons as to why it’s not my favorite in other posts. So, this will be the watch I mod. My first plan was to make this like a true CasiOak, using a stainless steel mod kit, so it will have that Royal Oak look. But the other day I discovered that there are submariner kits for the GA 2100, so… The photo of with the submariner is AI showing me what my watch will look like with the kit I ordered. Needless to say I’m excited to get this mod soon! Anyone else have photos they can share of the mods they’ve done with the GA 2100 line?

I really want to buy the 5000U but would love to find another bezel and strap color. Preferably gray or tan. Does anyone know if it’s possible to mod it? If so, what other models fit the 5000U case?

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!

Picked up something fun from the MoMA last week.

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?
