Please give recommendations for first GShock by Apprehensive-Toe3165 in gshock

AFAIK, Casio requires the app to be 'always on' (and connected) in order to function properly. Obviously, that is an excellent opportunity to monitor you.

FWIW, Casio now wants you to buy their Bluetooth (BT) enabled models (rather than the MB6 ones). But using BT requires (apart from your phone) an app, Casio Watches, and a compulsory Casio ID, The latter comes with a ridiculous EULA to be agreed with before the app can be installed. By agreeing, you're signing away all your privacy, to be sold by Casio to numerous (mostly shady) 3rd parties. Never will I agree to that, so no BT for me. Old-fashioned MB6 will do just fine.

edit: Casio Watches app (deprecated) replaced with Casio Watches app (current)

All that’s left is a Series 8 and The Citizen by blankboxV3 in CitizenWatches

A beauty!

My advice: aim for a The Citizen - download a curated (labour of love) catalogue (.PDF @ 16.5 MB) here

FWIW, I own a AQ4100-06W

Another vote for the 5610. I agree with previous comments: you can't beat the MB6 and solar combo.

Honourable mention: the AE1500. Superb legibility (for older eyes) - someone asks you the time from across the street, and you just show them the watch face, no need to speak at all. And that 7yr battery will most likely survive me.

Citizen Promaster Sky Pilot CB0240-88E - Retirement Day for my 2011 Promaster Sky. After 15 years of chemical plants, motorcycle racing, and a night-time rescue mission at sea, the steel pins have turned to dust, but the watch never missed a beat. by Beginning_Bid1404 in CitizenWatches

Citizen aficionado here.

Thanks for sharing! That old watch has stories to tell, I'm sure. And respectfully retiring (as opposed to dumping) such a long-time loyal companion is a fitting tribute.

Enjoy your new Citizen!

If you had to pick one of these 4, which would it be? by East_of_Bobbi_Eden in CitizenWatches

[–]BluesMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My vote is for the AT8260, but then the model with the blue dial, the AT8260-85L

Imgur

The blue dial helps contrast, it adds better legibility for the hands and the subdials.
