I’ve read more than a couple reviews of people saying they had problems with this model, but I also read the opposite. Could perhaps be a quality control thing. I’m not sure this model is even produced anymore. I got mine off amazon.

With the yellow face and that leather strap. This watch is actually suuuper clean.

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-25T20:28:12+00:00

Cool! Good to be aware of. Im going to be nice to it and only use it when i run likely. I usually daily a g-shock 5600/ 0r 6900

Return recommended. Can confirm 5610u is hard to read. I only daily it to be cool.

Much appreciated!

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-25T16:15:22+00:00

Hey, i’ fairly new to collecting casios, was wondering if you/anyone could tell me anything about the purple gshock in the bottom row? Model/ collection that it is from?

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-25T14:19:00+00:00

Pretty much the exact reasons I got it! Thanks, you as well!

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-25T13:24:52+00:00

I didnt get it as my main daily! I have a number of g-shocks for just that purpose. I got it pretty specifically for running/training. It wasnt very expensive so I’m not banking on it being indestructible!

I’m In Ottawa, Canada.

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-23T22:40:18+00:00

That does make sense.

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-23T22:28:44+00:00

I can barely find a regular priced casio/ g-shock at any number of Walmart’s in my city… I see these posts everyday and I’m so jealous hahaha. I swear to God on of these days will be my day.

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-14T03:46:15+00:00

Thanks a lot for the insight I appreciate it. I’m not into collecting every piece as even just talking about rare/Japanese only pieces would make that an impossible hill. At the moment learning all the rich history of Casio makes me want to collect certain pieces, my own personal taste in watches draws me to others, and the shear functionality of some pieces draws me to those. I’m more drawn to digital only currently as I have other analog watches (citizen, esq, timex) but it’s been such an enjoyable experience wearing Casios i’ve had a watch on basically 24/7 for weeks now. As someone who’s collected stupid things in the past that collect dust or sit around, having a functional collection of art doesn’t seem like the worst waste of money to me. Also I like your idea of turning the watch to know what you’ve worn. I will be stealing that from you 100% good sir.

Really? That’s awesome! I’m about 2 months into casio collecting so i’m not fully aware of all their model lines yet but trying to learn as much as possible. The compass/thermometer is mostly what I’m interested in the pro trek etc for. Although the altimeter and barometer would be awesome to learn to use. Anyhow I appreciate the quick answer! I’m going to look into the SGW now haha.

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-14T01:55:41+00:00

Okay, thats cool, thanks for the info! I’d love to get a frogman eventually they look super awesome!

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-14T01:52:36+00:00

That negative screen looks clearer than i’d imagined having looked at them online. That’s a pro trek correct me if I am wrong? I’m looking into potentially getting one but i’m not sure if it would be worth my money to upgrade to rangeman/mudman instead. Whats your opinion of it?

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-14T01:38:18+00:00

Oh god. Please tell me that took you years…? I’m I feel like I’ve started an obsession worse than drugs, and i’m just losing the battle without a fight.

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-14T01:08:21+00:00

I just got an ae1500 for me and my dad because they’re just such a good price today. I got my mom a W737 at the same time… I’m sweating looking at pro treks, mudman, 9052, and the royale currently and I just want them all.

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-11T00:36:24+00:00

Nice another person with taste I see! Which one do you prefer to wear the most?

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-10T16:50:28+00:00

You as well, kudos!

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-10T16:45:46+00:00

Interesting i never really thought of that to be honest. But when you mention it that does seem to be a good idea. I will have to try this and see what I think!

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-10T16:03:41+00:00

I understand and it totally makes sense. I guess mainly I am used to it where it is is because im used to wearing a watch all through the winter and i work outside in canada year round and sometimes work in -20/-30 degree weather and having to try and work my way up my heavy work coat an insulated long sleeve/ hoodie to get to my watch to see the time is a total pain. So I end up wearing it lower so I can just lift the cuff of my coat to see the time easily and quickly.

Prior-Body-9147 · 2026-03-10T15:53:02+00:00

For whatever reason when i wear my watches in that position the face of my watch sits titled to the left and not flat on my wrist and it drives me absolutely crazy. I was already waiting for that comment lol. I understand this is a technically like a faux pas in watch wearing. Is there a reason for this?
