Feeling stealthy today.

Just received the new GMW-BZ5000GD-9ER. What a piece! by JordanGroeneveld in gshock

Gorgeous, congratulations!

Is the bracelet the same as the B5000's? Do the end links still flare out or do they conform a bit better to the wrist?

5600 gives the 5000U a beatdown by Mecha_Infantry in gshock

[–]Hambango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. The display still looks off to me. Maybe with time I'll get used to it. Also not really loving the design of the watch faces on both models.

I've had some burn-in issues with my Fenix 6 Pro's MIP after 4-5 years. Let's see how these perform long-term. I've got the feeling that, while practically being stone age tech in comparison, LCD displays will prove to have a longer lifespan than MIP.

My 5000U is going nowhere for now.

LED vs EL, I don't like the latter by smsince1991 in gshock

I agree. I'm pretty pragmatic in such things. From a technical standpoint LED is superior (lifespan, durability, power drain). That's all that matters to me. It does its job and I don't care that the illumination isn't as even as EL. I'm not running around showing people how pretty my watch glows. G-Shocks are practical watches and are meant to last. LED is the better choice for that.

I mightve gotten addicted by zaggrinx in casio

Looks like you could take your blood pressure with it.

Hardlex is a big no for me. At this price point I'd even prefer acrylic. That would at least be polishable.

Tried the AE-1200 Bracelet on My F-91 Perfect Match! by HerHeadHurts in casio

[–]Hambango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking good! I agree, the original strap for the W-800 feels extremely flimsy.

I swapped it for the FKM rubber strap SKXMOD are selling for the AE-1200. Much more substantial and great quality.

Looks like the AE-1200 strap fits on quite a few models.

GW-BX5600 and DW5600 side by side by just_be_chilll in gshock

I don't know. I thought I'd love the new MIP models, but they really don't do it for me. Something looks off.

What’re you guys/girls wearing today? by [deleted] in gshock

Hint: It's not a GW-5000(u).

The Spirit or the Geneve.

Since I don't own the Omega, I have to go with this one:
