The New G

Finally got off my ass and bought a new G for working out and for when I am in the bush (rare these days, being that I am a pasty-faced staff officer who is basically a keyboard chimpanzee). But there is something about Gs that I just love. And this one is checking all of those boxes for me.

Ain't nothing wrong with those! I got a similar tide-graph model as a gift for a friend who surfs regularly, and he loves it.

Have never been a big G fan but that is cool! Nice pickup, James!

Love it James!

I have a different coloured version of the same model & they wear the most comfortable of any G-Shock I've ever owned.

Thanks, All. This is a rock-solid beast and actually wears well when I am in combats (field uniform)' so this one is going to stay around for a while, me thinks.

Nice James.

I have that exact one. I ended up crazy glueing the 'decorative bolts' on to keep them from moving and spinning.

Enjoy your rescue!

Got the same one pretty much for doing the same thing

Nice choice, James.

I have recently been a G kick myself.

I like this model. Hugs the wrist well.

Nice looking G-Shock. How is the readability? It seems more legible than earlier negative display Casios?

I've found readability to be OK. Not as good as a normal display of course, but good in terms of negative displays. It's got a good backlight too

Yep, good readability, especially in low-light or using the back-light (which is also subdued and doesn't light up a room when it goes on, which was always a piss-off because it screwed up one's night-vision). And I cranked it against the bench press rack this morning and ... nothing. Awesome tool watch.

And super-comfortable. The case-strap flanges make it rest nicely on the wrist.
