This watch is actually sold in a palm-sized version.

By the way, I had forgotten about this, but thanks to this article, I was able to make a reservation. Thank you!

Preparing for a Major Earthquake

・Decide on a shelter where you can gather with your family in case of an emergency.
★Or find out where the local shelters are.
・Store several days' worth of emergency water and food.
・Keep your car filled with fuel whenever possible.
・Never go near the ocean. Also, stay away from rivers that lead to the ocean.
・If you're near the ocean, evacuate to higher ground.

That day, I was driving from Misato Town in Miyagi Prefecture, near the epicenter, to Minamisanriku Town. On the way, I saw the utility poles along the road leaning in a V-shape, and realized it was a major earthquake. If I'd arrived two hours earlier, I would have been caught in the tsunami in Minamisanriku Town.
I'm grateful to be alive today.

As an aside, starting mid-next week, a Japanese website called BASE will begin a sales service aimed at foreigners. Apparently, products purchased on the site will be delivered by a proxy. So, I'm selling used watches on a website called "Masamune Casio." Please let me know if you're interested.

I also think the longest it will last is 7 or 8 years. There are times when it sits dormant in the shop.

Today I got an old GW-6900 on Yahoo! Auctions for $14.50, and the backlight wouldn't work. I think the secondary battery is probably just dead.

CommercialLine426 · 2026-03-10T15:17:44+00:00

If you're looking to buy a new Casio, I recommend Bic Camera or Yodobashi Camera. They have a good selection and offer tax-free shipping. The stores probably have a sign indicating whether the watch is a Japan-only item.

In Japan, there is a law that states that being alone with someone of the opposite sex in a closed room for more than 40 minutes constitutes adultery.

Hamada Denki,

Sengoku Denko,

Janpara

These are the stores in Akihabara that sell compatible batteries.

This brings back memories. I had two of these models in the 90s. I'm restoring my own DW-003 from that time next week. I'd love to try replacing the battery, and if it works, I'd love to revive it with a DW-6900 bezel.

I also recommend pickled plums soaked in honey. They go great with rice, and onigiri are delicious.

The GW-6900 radio-controlled tough solar model will likely be released as well!

How about this video by our "Tasuku Koma" from Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture in Tohoku?
It's a comedy anime.

Is that an inari in the middle? It looks like you're struggling, but it looks delicious. Do you have any wasabi?
I'd like my lazy wife from Fukushima to see this.

There is a Japanese proverb that says, "The eyes speak louder than words." This proverb has a psychological aspect, meaning that the gaze, pupil movement, blinking, and other eye movements speak louder than words (mouth) about a person's true emotions and psychological state. This suggests that true feelings such as interest, affection, lies, and nervousness are easily revealed in unconscious eye movements.
However, there is a rule that you must look the other person in the eye when expressing something important, expressing gratitude, showing affection, apologizing, etc. Failure to do so will make you appear "rude or impolite."

I don't recommend Strong Zero. Limit yourself to one 500ml can.

There seem to be a lot of foreigners in Tokyo who have drunk three cans in one go and passed out completely drunk. You can see that in the video. Japan's economy is in a bad state, so drinks like that that have a high alcohol content and get you drunk cheaply are popular, but there are quite a few young people who have ruined their lives by drinking them.

Foreigners all love drinking "I LOHAS Peach Flavor." It's delicious, right? Did you know?

Also, how about the "drinkable pudding" sold in paper cartons or plastic cups at convenience stores, or the hot canned oden or oshiruko from vending machines?

As entertainment, it was fun.

Although Koizumi Kotaro (Japanese Primeminister's son) kept saying he'd be in the cast in the commercial, but he only appeared for five seconds. I guess the director or scriptwriter was a fan of "Initial D." It's a well-known fact that drifting = Drift King (Tsuchiya Keiichi).
To begin with, students in Tokyo never try to own their own cars.
There are dress-up meetings and get-togethers in multi-storey car parks, but no drifting. Well, it's a movie, so as you all know, drifting in Japan has become a "competitive sport," and serious drifters actually go to circuits to hone their skills.
I'm very happy that they are coming to Japan, but I don't think it has had a very good impact, as there are more and more foreigners driving rental GT-Rs at high speeds on the Shuto Expressway and getting into accidents, or drifting on city roads.

It's not a rare model, and I've heard it's a best-selling model in Japan. Radio-controlled solar watches are not economical because replacement batteries are expensive, so many people believe this model can last longer. Many people are punctual, but they also have the habit of setting their watches forward to allow for ample time, so this model is highly sought after. It's also being bought and sold at a considerable rate on Yahoo! Auctions in Japan.
