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 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

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?

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.

GWG B1000 my beloved

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!

This came in mail yesterday!
Got it on eBay for around 150€. A steal I’d say.
My already second Mudmaster (after GG-1000) and I gotta say I like it. I’m concerned a bit regarding the carbon bezel, I’ve heard it’s quite thin and brittle in places. Anyone has any experience with using and misusing the watch?
In any case quite happy with the purchase.

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

Grabbed this one only cause of MIP display and it might become my daily driver . But it isn’t easy to navigate . Alarms and all are deep inside. But a beauty overall.

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

Just got back from two weeks in the Azores, and my G-Shock came along for the whole trip.

Light, tough, and the blue accents pop against the black. Perfect travel companion!

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?

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

Just got the GBD-200 in blue color. Looks amazing. Not too big, and neither too small. Perfect for my 7.2inch wrist. I have turned off bluetooth for battery saving, though it claims 2 years with all features on.

The negative MIP is very clear, compared to negative ae1500 it looks much better on side angles.

What do you think about this one ? Should G shock have smart features like bluetooth and phone notifications?

The GMW-B5000D-1DR, a watch so cool it inspired me to write a haiku..

Steel, black and heavy

Brick patterns and bright LEDs

Cold metal shines bright

On a side note, name the videogame charecter in the last shot

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?
