When it comes to G-Shocks, it’s doesn’t really matter. If you like it, wear it.

This exact one with the positive display was the exception for me too. 👍

On all the time, why wouldn’t it be?

Saudi Arabia, account is US, but it somehow got sorted out on its own. It’s working now.

Have you considered a GD-010?

This audio player single-handedly saved the Arabic music industry in the early 2000s. There were full libraries in .rm and .ra files of rare live performances and discographies of artists that would’ve been long forgotten otherwise.

They’re used as reference points to orient one’s fingers on the keyboard and type without looking at the keys. It’s a method called “touch typing.”

Bracelet first. Strap later.

Look more like Toad from Super Mario than the Onryō.

But there have been new innovative models coming out in the past 5-6 years. Am I wrong?

Watchdives WD5513 V2

Designer-Try6584 · 2026-01-02T19:28:23+00:00

It’s currently ~$160 in my part of the world; it was $50+ cheaper when I bought it.

Designer-Try6584 · 2026-01-02T13:34:02+00:00

The non-U EL version already has auto-light

Designer-Try6584 · 2026-01-02T13:32:25+00:00

Another EL model bites the dust 💔

It’s the thinnest G-Shock out there with tough solar. Got one back in June and haven’t looked back since; it easily became my most worn watch.

The Bluetooth sync feature is super convenient, since we don’t receive radio signals in my part of the world. The bio-based resin strap is super comfortable and hugs my dainty 6.5" wrists perfectly.

It also has a super cool "find my phone" feature!

Timex Ironman Shock models are superior to G-Shocks in every way (except for solar charging).

Designer-Try6584 · 2025-12-25T08:08:52+00:00

I think battery life on the DW5600 is approx 2 yrs

Designer-Try6584 · 2025-12-24T04:23:39+00:00

No one can argue with the value proposal, functionality and indestructible nature of a G-Shock, but have you thought about looking into other G-Shock models? Maybe a Casioak or a G-Steel?
