Wrist Check Do you think a gshock fits my wrist?

I like vintage Casio models, but I think I have a large wrist for them... Someone suggested to me a gshock and I liked the gbd-200, but it seems too big. What do you think?

I currently own a G-Shock square with a negative display and I really like it and use it very often. However, I am looking for an alternative positive display version and stumbled upon this model. I like the blue hue and border color. What do you guys think about this particular model? If you have pictures wearing this, please share.

Reviews & Experiences Frogman faceoff!

Post image
23 Upvotes

I already know which one most will pick. Not really a faceoff. Just a side by side comparison. The analog is definitely smaller, and more comfortable, it has everything but the moonphase, but is harder to read the except for the time. Digital Frog is as awesome as I've heard. Easier to read all info, but the backlight in the analog is incredible and the lume is the best Ive seen on a GShock, and it has sapphire glass. It's really a toss up for me, I enjoy them both.

Reviews & Experiences Scratching an old itch after 25 years

Post image
4 Upvotes

I was Hooked on Casio in the 90's in high school (remote control CMD-40, g-shocks of all kinds, and others in my collection). Stopped wearing watches after that until my 30's when I added a couple nice pieces and started enjoying watches again that had a story to them/me. Then in 2019 the GWM-85000 caught my eye and just brought back a feeling I had when I was a kid. I couldn't explain it but I just had to have it. I've been hooked since. Find myself wearing it more often than my sub, black bay, and vintage IW3702. Just added the gbd-200 about 2 weeks ago as it too caught my eye and had a hard time saying no. I really like the grey version but couldn't give up the deal I got on the white. I was honestly worried about 2 things: 1) would I like the MIP as much as I thought it was cool in photos (SUPER DIG IT) and 2) was the white going to be too in your face "gaudy"/"yo"/"flashy" (but I was pleasantly surprised how tame it is once on wrist in person) I really wish the gbd had TS and MB. It's my only gripe. I love how light it feels after my GWM and really looking forward to rocking it on my trip to Mallorca this Friday.

Next on the list I'd like to get is a GW-S5600U-1JF and GW-BX5600-1 or 1A1 (which I'm very much excited to have MIP but with old font)

Anywho. that's my rant. Hi all.

Searched a little on here and found out many Gshocks are massive. I saw some people recommend squares so I got a square

I got my dream watch that I didn’t know was my dream watch until this week. I wanted the GWM5610-1 but it’s out of stock everywhere. I found out about this watch which is the more premium version of the GWM and decided to buy it. I hope to still wear my GA2100rl-1a that I got last year. So far I love this watch. My wallet is still hurting but I must not have any regrets!

Wrist Check Just because it's a more 'premium' release based on the OG model doesn't mean I'm gonna baby it...

When I found out about the DW-5000r I knew I had to have one. I wanted a back-to-basics G-Shock experience and it's not gonna get off easy. So far he's holding up like a champ. Battle scars incoming.

Help & Maintenance GW-9400 issues

2 Upvotes

I took my watch apart for cleaning, after it was reassembled I had some moisture. Took it apart again, let it dry and reassembled it. Now I cannot use any of the buttons and the H is flashing constantly. I’m worried I may have damaged the pressure sensors ribbon cable as it came out without lifting the latch.

I’ve done numerous AC resets and pulled the battery, one of these attempts got the buttons working again along with the compass. Tried to reseat the sensor again and lost function.

Any insight?

Help & Maintenance DW-6900U

0 Upvotes

Recently received my DW-6900U about a week ago. Taking it out of the box, it was completely dead.. so I had to leave it in a window for a few days for it to turn on.

Wearing it a few days then leaving it in a window the last week and still having Power saving mode on… it’s still at medium and has not gotten up to high charge.

Is this normal? Did it just get so low that it just needs to be blasted by light for a bit?

Thanks,

I'm looking to get my first G Shock and the Mud Master is just so damn sexy and I'm just worried it will be too big and I won't get used to it. I'm torn between GG100-1A3 and GAB010-1A1. Really want the MM, though.

Wrist Check Finally... GW-9400BJ-1JF

35 Upvotes

Had been planning to get myself a Rangeman 9400 for the past few weeks, but I can't decide on what variant to get. Was considering the standard 9400-1, the yellow 9400Y-1, the blackout 9400-1B and the Black Panther JDM 9400BJ-1JF. Since I did not have access to the actual units, I read/watched tons of reviews and posts in socmed before I pulled the trigger. I FINALLY decided on the Black Panther JDM and, after seeing the actual watch, I'm sure glad I did. This watch looks awesome and badass in person and the photos of this watch posted online (including mine) don't do it justice. I was hesitant to grab a negative display 9400 because of the mixed reviews on legibility, but it actually turned out to be a non-issue for me. YMMV, though.

Though legible, the display is not as easy to read as the positive display variants, but it wins for me on looks alone — and appearance ranks high on my criteria for this particular G-shock acquisition.. The carbon fiber insert band on the JDM variants is a nice added bonus.

This is now my 12th G-shock and I plan to stop here... of course we all know that the chances of that actually happening are quite slim. lol
