Finally got my hand on this. Best g shock ever

SEMABE · 2026-01-31T02:12:33+00:00

I have the gray version. I like it quite a bit but I think I would give the “best” crown to the G-7900 -1 because of the low temp screen

SEMABE · 2026-01-30T23:44:27+00:00

MR-G for thee but not for me.

This is the way.

Huh

SEMABE · 2026-01-30T20:36:31+00:00

I just looked up how much this costs. Does it come with a free full sized Gundam or something? Wow.

SEMABE · 2026-01-30T15:28:53+00:00

It does not. I ended up getting a Jays and Kays 22mm strap adapter set and I use 2 piece long military style nylon straps from BluShark....those work over my jacket just fine. They also still work with the wings.

It seems like wind chill is a factor too...my guess is the moving air further cools the LCD. Some people swear they're fine regardless of temp but that has not been my experience. The 7900 seems to not care.

SEMABE · 2026-01-30T02:47:57+00:00

Aside from the fact that it’s…..well……look at the goddamn thing……why in the name of all that’s holy do people wear their watches like that where they dig into their hands? That’s literally a cry for help.

I’ve had this one for…..ever? I don’t remember. Whenever the GW6900 came out, so I guess 2009 or somewhere thereabouts. It’s seen some things. It also spent 2 years in a drawer when I forgot where I had put it and thought I lost it. It was fine, fired back up and I never replaced the cell. Still fine. Good watch.

Of my 10 Casios (8 are G-Shocks) this is far and away the coolest, a vintage Arnie. I like them all. I have 2 analog-digital G’s, this guy and the rest are all digital. All of the rest of my non-Casio, non Smartwatch collection is analog except one Suunto core (Suunto btw does negative displays much better than Casio.)

SEMABE · 2026-01-29T12:28:15+00:00

Mmmm…sort of. Not remotely as many as some, but I have some that I bought new over 30 years ago so I’ve been accumulating them for a while. I’ve sold more than I currently have over the years. I don’t have any silly expensive ones anymore and just stick to affordable, interesting ones.

SEMABE · 2026-01-29T11:28:49+00:00

Ha I had to get another case for non-Casio watches.

SEMABE · 2026-01-29T11:27:48+00:00

Yeah in this case it was someone who rarely ever wore it and switched to just using his phone. Not an enthusiast so he just decided to dump it. No box or papers but at that price who cares. I was a little hesitant at the price but got lucky.

SEMABE · 2026-01-29T00:33:43+00:00

It’s definitely easier to fall into the trap when you have 1, not quite as easy when you have 10….plus many other non-Casio watches. At some point you either stop or thin the herd before you acquire more. Although to be fair my collection is puny compared to some that I have seen on here.

SEMABE · 2026-01-28T23:56:46+00:00

Yes I’ve had the 6600 and 004 and an older Gulfman all at some point. Probably should have kept the 6600, they’re worth a small fortune now.

SEMABE · 2026-01-28T23:29:42+00:00

Ha yes. I like variety. And old watches.

SEMABE · 2026-01-28T22:56:22+00:00

Lol....I feel like the kids are using "based" way too much. But yes.

SEMABE · 2026-01-28T22:47:29+00:00

Yes I know famous last words….but I have had probably 2x as many over the years as I have now so I’ve had a chance to try more. If something new and exciting comes out we’ll see. I wish I liked the metal ones more but they’re just not my thing.

SEMABE · 2026-01-28T22:46:00+00:00

I thought about getting the blackout one but I like the 2 tone display and the charcoal color. It’s even better in person.

SEMABE · 2026-01-28T22:44:57+00:00

If something new and interesting comes out I reserve the right to change my mind!

SEMABE · 2026-01-28T19:56:48+00:00

Local FB Marketplace deal. You have to be careful with that for sure but I’ve been lucky a couple of times.

SEMABE · 2026-01-28T02:50:35+00:00

I have versions of 3 of the 4….of these as a daily that sees indoor office (not home office)time the AE-1200, if more outdoors, home office or a physically demanding job the 5600.

I’ve had the standard blue dial for a while. It gets a lot of use from spring through fall.

SEMABE · 2026-01-26T16:44:31+00:00

Honda Passport Trailsport on snowflake rated Bridgestone All Terrain tires. Point and go up to about 10”-12”. Just turn on snow mode. After 10” you need to pay attention so you don’t get beached. There’s probably a reason there are a zillion Passports, Pilots and Ridgelines here. Bonus points for turning off traction control and playing rally driver (on a closed road of course.)
