My only issue is the dial looks a little dark in the white frame, and the flashing tide indicator can be hard to see unless outdoors or in a bright room. I was hoping you had done a tutorial on your channel for the 3215 but no such luck :)

GShocks are the only less expensive watch I own.
A few years ago I bought a few of the various LEs and still have them all new in the box. A little over a year ago I decided to replace the cheap digital watch I just kept strapped to my travel backpack as a backup with a G as we were going to Mexico and I wanted something I could wear when we were out of the resort so I bought a red G (my kid loves red) and as soon as I got it I ordered the same model in black as well (the red one is now attached to my travel backpack) A few months later I discovered the MRGB5000 and thought it was crazy! A GShock that cost $3500??? Well I had to have one and got one soon after. The GShocks and my Omega X-33 are my only battery watches. Anyway I have to say I love the thing! The MRGB5000 is light, comfortable and no one looks twice at it!

Appreciate the link to that video! I really like this model and might even consider one. If I end up getting it this will be two G-Shock's purchased because of this thread.
This one seems like a really good travel watch for me. In the video he did seem to mention the stopwatch resetting itself after 1-hour. If true, this might be an issue for tracking Jet Ski rental time when on vacation. |

Thanks for providing that, I'll have to have a look later and try make a decision. Either way I like the watch and prior to your post had never seen them before. So you have a shot with the backlight on? Not sure if I missed one slmewhe.

It can be set for 1.5 or 3 seconde duration.

Arrived today, a gift from one of the viewers a pretty rare G.
It was an engineering marvel and the thinnest G-Shock ever (still is) BUT, it was launched just as the BIG watches trend started so it was a market flop Second picture is next to my square. The strap is also the protective bezel Sent from my SM-A415F using Tapatalk |

Interesting numerals pattern. What's the ref #?

A month on the wrist and still liking this one. Tidegraph is fairly accurate most of the time after I recalibrated it more precisely it with my local tide times. I also use it for telling the time in bed, as the white case and strap makes it easy to grab in the dark on the nightstand and the EL auto-light is easier on the eyes than my other G-Shocks.

Currently exploring the functions of this new G-Shock!
Not certain if I'll connect it to my phone yet, but this new display is really appealing to me. Part of the fun when you get one of these with a module you've never used before is getting acclimated to the functions. |

Congrats again on winning this one Rommel! I probably wouldn't connect it to the phone; I like my Gs to be self-contained. Looks like you need to get some steps in, though :)
