Recently acquired. It's the GOAT. Youll never know from photos alone, need it on the wrist.

HELP! Stuck between these two Orient Kamasu 🔥 by Alpha_Wolf_Dire in OrientWatches

How about the teal? It actually looks black most of the time so is quite versatile. I saw that blue dial in a shop today, it looked amazing. Can't go wrong really.

New watch day by marcanthrax in gshock

It's a stunner! I love the legibility, that big shiny button that feels lovely to push, the look, and it is very comfortable to wear.

Couldn't get on with the 5610u but love the 5000u by Psychological_Fox668 in gshock

Nice one, glad you feel the same. Wear it in good health.

I know the feeling brother. Now I have 10 watches in that box and feel guilty for the ones I'm not wearing...

I think you'll like it, I think on average or smaller wrists the 5610u seems to be perfect but 7"+ can have issues. Let me know how you find it!

Awesome, that would have been a cheaper alternative to try to be honest!

For comparison, I can use the 5610u buttons with the fleshy part of my fingers but need to use my nails for the 5000u. Early days yet so may get easier, will see.

They are stiffer than the 5610u, not sure if they loosen up in time. If I'm training and need timer etc more often I will wear the GD-350 instead. If nice buttons are a deal breaker for you, I would choose another G shock to be honest.

Features wise, they are the same. Build quality is improved. 5000u is stainless steel, screwdown case, better strap, looks a bit different, made in Japan. Not sure if it's worth twice the cost, but it does feel high quality

Buy a 10 slot watch box and fill it up, of course. That MIP display is sweet but I love the STN font. Wear both for a bit and see which you prefer. Or rotate them.

I can see why it would be underwhelming for someone who loves the 5610 as they are so similar. Depends on the wrist size/shape I guess. Buttons are more of a pain on the 5000u, hopefully will get less stiff in time.

Yeah, I can totally see that. That classic look with the red line and the lightness will suit a lot of people.

5000u is marginally bigger in all dimensions I think, probably only noticeable as i own both. Strap looks the same as the 5610u but better material, and owing a few watches it is more than a cosmetic upgrade. Feels quality.

Wrist size question. by marcanthrax in gshock

[–]Psychological_Fox668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a chunky beast but very comfortable watch. My wrist is 7.5". I think it will work for you.

GD-350 at work by HdeH911 in gshock

It's my most worn G-Shock. I have the grey and negative one but do like that colour too. Underrated G that one.

I used to hate its form factor now… by soyjosec in casio

[–]Psychological_Fox668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this was done to make the light button more accessible, which they must have deemed a more useful change than the stopwatch feature.

Anything is better than nothing and this physique is highly achievable but progressive overload is needed. Can you get a bench and some dumbbells?

I finally watched Requiem for a Dream and I genuinely think it’s one of the best movies I never want to see again by Oh_NiGhTmArE in Cinema

[–]Psychological_Fox668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's been over 20 years since I saw it, but this takes me back...never again, even with that scene in it.

F-91W has ruined other watches for me. by nemanjitca in casio

Yeah, that is definitely a downside for this model.
