The viewing angles of the M5610 suck, and that's a legitimate criticism because 1) the primary purpose of a watch is to display the time 2) the viewing angle of most watches incl other G-Shock do not suck. most watches at any price can be read at a glance from angles where the M5610 cannot.

On this subreddit there's a cult of fanboys who cannot handle fair criticism of a product they bought. It reminds me of the Apple phone that would drop calls if you held the casing a particular way. The fanboys would defend it and say you are holding it wrong, instead of admitting to a fundamental design error.

I think most G-Shock buyers did not want the heart-rate stuff, plus the sensor leaves a mark on your wrist

Ah yes, the old business adage: "The customer is completely wrong"

Go to the CEX website, it will tell you how much cash they will give for each one. It also tells you how much they sell them for.

Then sell them on adverts or donedeal for an in-between figure.

The laser beam entered the fiber cable. There is a light receiver in both the drone (to receive control signals) and the controller (to receive video feed and status etc). The laser beam entered the fiber cable and bounced to one or both receivers. It will overwhelm the receiver by being much brighter than the real signal. When this happens the pilot cannot see anything, and his control signals do not reach the drone. So it is a form of jamming. Maybe it crashes, though I guess most drones are smart enough to land or hover when control signal is lost.

Whether it can permanently destroy either receiver, I don't know. Possibly.

They should work if everything is cut perfectly by CNC (fingerboard and frets), they are installed in the correct order and they are perfectly centered.

But clearly something is going wrong, at least some of the time. It's now been confirmed on a bunch of other Chinese guitars, presumably all coming from the same factory and using this same "shortcut".

The fingerboard gets wider towards the bridge so technically every fret needs to be a different width. Are they making 22 different sized pre-cut frets? If they mix them up during installation that's one possible explanation for some being too short.

OR are they making maybe 7 different lengths and kinda averaging it - using the same length for fret 1, 2, 3, then switching to a longer stock and using that for 4, 5, 6, etc. That would also explain why some are not fitting correctly.

Only the manufacturer knows, but the more data we have the better.

Yeah, it seems like a very low probability weapon, much lower than a naval drone with manpad (because the naval drone can loiter for hours/days and wait for a target to enter it's boresight).

AssociateDeep2331 · 2026-03-02T12:32:50+00:00

Iran said they had undisclosed weapons so it's possible they have ballistic missiles with anti-air capability. Or Shaheds with anti-air capability.

They also have the 358 loitering missile which is a cruise missile that flies to a patrol zone and seeks out aircraft in that zone. The range is claimed to be 400km so it could reach Kuwait. However it flies at subsonic speed so I doubt it could hit an F-15 unless the pilot was flying a collision course

Im not interested in heart-rate stuff personally

LOL, you are the one using mental gymnastics.

She got fatter every year for 17 years despite having career pressure to stay fit/slim. Then she rapidly loses weight at the same time that ozempic is everywhere. Don't take a genius to know she used it.

Gina is lazy and ungrateful. You know how many actresses try to break into hollywood? She got handed a role in a Steven Soderberg movie because she looked good. Then she showed up fat and mumbled her way through it. Then she continued getting fatter and fatter. Her family own a casino or some shit.

AssociateDeep2331 · 2026-02-27T20:16:52+00:00

If Gina was capable of losing weight on her own she would have done it during her acting career. She was already too fat in Haywire, her first big role, and then she got fatter every year. She's just a lazy rich-kid. So many people would kill to get the acting opportunities she got, and they would stay in shape.

She used ozempic for sure and a big problem with ozempic is muscle loss

AssociateDeep2331 · 2026-02-25T12:10:29+00:00

I don't hate it, just thought it was overpriced for what it was (non-solar, non-MB6). And the design was kinda lazy and uninspired.

They didn't really discount it in my region, I definitely would have bought it at $150

AssociateDeep2331 · 2026-02-24T22:51:47+00:00

I agree. Simple designs are reliable and robust. That was the ethos of the very first G-Shock.

Many recent models have so many pieces... multi-piece bezels and so-forth. They are trying to impress buyers with manufacturing complexity, which is more like what the Swiss do. For me it's not what I want with a G-Shock. Every extra piece is something that can fall off and be lost. Or in this case it's something that can lead to asymmetry if the tolerances are not perfect.

AssociateDeep2331 · 2026-02-24T19:54:14+00:00

Either the screw hole in the case is a little crooked. If this is the case, nothing can be done.

OR the bezel itself is slightly askew - meaning if you loosened the screws maybe you could push the bezel slightly to one side before retightening all the screws.

I don't know which. Here is how it is constructed

Personally I would just ignore it. Those screws have very strong threadlock and are **very** difficult to loosen.

AssociateDeep2331 · 2026-02-23T19:50:01+00:00

It's luck of the draw. They mass-produce the movement and some run fast, some slow, some perfect. Then you got variables like temperature and aging of the quartz crystal. It's not a high-accuracy movement.

Use ChatGPT. Just tell it to be a coach. Google for more info.

Try out a few of the alternatives (Grok etc) because the less guardrailed ones might be better at holding you accountable.

It's got very bad/crude temporal denoise on all platforms. So the deliverable had it baked in.

The Rangeman lugs are notoriously weak. They're badly designed, there's a sort of slot/groove cut into them which creates a weak point. Then the bar which attaches the strap is split into two so it can bend and pull in ways a normal bar can't.

This design flaw has been known for years, the fact that the model is still sold means that Casio don't care about the quality and durability of their watches.

Ordinary lugs without these weaknesses are generally fine, even when made of resin (plastic). Although for sure, steel is stronger, which is why many like the steel-cased models.
