A thread for all our G-Shock owners to share photos of, and opinions about, their watches
![]() I'll start off with my GW-M5610U-1JF, which I chose over the more expensive GW-5000U for its retro colours and lighter weight, though I'll probably end up getting the latter anyway at some point.

That is a nice watch. I like it. I have an older one. Still going strong. I have to take pictures later to post.

***The Unofficial TRF G-Shock Owners Club***
Great thread! I have way too many G-Shocks, but since you mentioned the GW-5000 in your opening post, I’ll show that one first. Probably my all-around favorite G-Shock.
Love the 5610 too! Arguably the only watch a person would ever need. ![]() |

Great pic Dave. Do you get the radio reception every night there in NYC? We're towards the edge of the zone in HK, and get the signal about four times a week. I still get kind of a kick out of seeing RCVD on the dial.

Thanks Rommel, sadly I think my wrist is only big enough for squares and Casioaks, but might try on a Frogman, Rangeman or Mudmaster in-store sometime just to be sure.

Certainly give them a try! It might take getting used to but you'll adjust.

Maybe! Not a G-Shock, but I bought this one that is 48x49mm back in 1992 in Hong Kong and it's still going strong after many years in a drawer and a new battery. It even tells the year, which is kind of cool if perhaps not really necessary.

No, I’ve never received the radio signal here in NYC. I only ever see the RCVD when I’m traveling. (Of course, with my Bluetooth models I can cheat and get it through my phone.) |

I've been thinking about getting a Bluetooth Casioak but I'm hoping (most probably in vain) that there will be a Solar/Multiband 6 version at some point, as I really like the idea of a self-setting, self-charging watch that's not connected to the Internet, or to my phone.

Another 5000U. Just one of the greatest watches ever made.

The ladies version: BGD-5000U-7DJF.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Casio will release a smaller Bluetooth solar Casioak someday. ![]() |

The current and soon to be older version still appeals to me more for some reason. To me its more like my original G-Shock but the new one is very cool. |

Here’s my seriously rare ‘One Love’ collab from 2011 I think.
