I don't wear mine all that often, but it really comes in handy when I want a watch that can take a beating and wear anywhere. It gets a lot of use at the beach and when doing yardwork at the house. For the price they are tough to beat.

[Old Expat Beast]

Thanks a lot Merle, and congrats to you too, buddy. Looking good!

[RW16610]

Sweet! This was an excellent choice, Adam! Congratulations, it fits so nicely in that collection. Just fantastic!

[Old Expat Beast]

Thanks a lot Rommel!

Calibrated the Rangeman at sea-level today and took it, and one of the dogs, up to 750 feet. Will get to 1,000 next time

[RW16610]

Amazing view! The watch looks good on your wrist and is great to have on adventures. That looks like a great place to test some of the features.

[Old Expat Beast]

Thanks Rommel, yes it's quite nice up there. If you go to the top of the peak shown in the last pic you can see the airport on the other side.

Found a useful item in Ikea the other day, which helps me keep my G-Shocks in one place, charging and receiving, and makes an easily portable display. I put it in my home-office corner window, where it gets plenty of light, or the bedroom bay window, which has a better Multiband reception. Anyway, just thought I'd share in case anyone else might have use for one. They're only US$2.50, and are made in Slovenia, not China, for a change. It's part of the Familj line of kitchen stuff, and as you probably guessed from the pics is actually a paper towel holder

[RW16610]

I like that, Adam! It's a great way to keep them easily accessible while still allowing them to get light to charge and reception for the atomic timekeeping.

For those that own regular squares and were annoyed by the recessed ADJUST button, I just decided to do a fix.
Enjoy:

Nice job. I still remember how fiddly it was to depress the adjust button on my first digital watch back in 1978. I think I had to use a pen to do it. It wasn't a Casio but looked a bit like my A159.

[Gebbeth]

I heard they are coming out with a Casioak MRG model?

I'm assuming it's gonna be pricey.

Does anybody own a GWGB1000 Mudmaster. The only watch I own is an Omega Seamaster 300m. I have never owned a watch like the G shock. How much bigger will the G shock "wear" compared to my Omega?

I don't have those particular watches but I regularly wear a 36mm (10mm thick) Grand Seiko and a 54mm (17mm thick) G-Shock Rangeman (mainly when hiking). I have a 6.75 inch wrist and while the Seiko is a better fit, the G-Shock feels and looks fine, and at 93 grams is 27 grams lighter than the Seiko. It might take some getting used to, but you will get used to it, I'm sure.

This one was interesting. Love everything except the noisy bracelet. Probably more acoustics than anything though.

Rangeman outdoors today.

Wifey is now a card carrying member! First watch I’ve gotten her to wear outside of an Apple Watch since those first came out.

Nice one, Steve! I'm sure she's going to enjoy it and this can likely lead to her wanting more. Either way I know this one will last a very long time.

[Old Expat Beast]

Still wearing one or more of these most days, and still getting a kick out of seeing they've all three picked up the atomic time signal overnight.

[Old Expat Beast]

I just got this GWX-5700 in from Japan today (shipped yesterday!). It's a JDM (Japan-only) white version of a moonphase/tide level surfer watch that I've had an eye on for a while. I don't surf but my apartment overlooks the beach and nearby islands, and the moon is in view most nights, so it's just a fun toy on top of all the usual G-Shock functionality. It's also my only white watch since the 1980s

The caseback batch code tells me it was made in February this year, so it should be good for solar/atomic self-sufficiency for 20+ years, I guess.

[Old Expat Beast]

Here's the white and black together.

[RW16610]

This is a nice one, Adam! Congratulations! I'll have to look into this model and the features it has as it seems fascinating.

Thanks Rommel. I was glad to see the tide pretty much where the watch said it should be this morning! This is an old photo from my place but you an see the tide range is quite big. At high tide it almost hits the beach's tree line in the middle of this pic.

It's quite easy to set up; just set to your home time and it does the rest of the moon and tide setting. You can also flip through the hours and days to see the future tide pattern, which is handy for me if I'm taking the dogs out and want to avoid walking them at low tide when there's dead fish and stuff on the beach.

That's a lovely beach! I'm glad to hear Casio made it this simple but not at all surprised. You made a great choice with this one. Now I'm wondering what you'll end up getting next.

Thanks, so is my wife

There's a quick but useful demo of the GWX-5700CS (with black case) by Greg Anderson here: https://youtu.be/zYbthyCk5vI?si=eDUGXXBnn8qwvgQ0

[Watch-Geek]

Ive always wanted the square with the same module but never actually got one!
Yours is a sweet combo of vintage case and modern module
