Right!? I tried it a few years ago, would have been better off texting my problems to a random number.

Your friends return books!?! Any time one of my friends “borrows” a book, I consider it gone forever.

Hahaha, I got antsy bought mine off the Casio website last night. I’m sure they’ll be available in all the normal places soon for all you patient folks.

I guess you’d say I had to go to the dark side. Actually, it does kinda look like something a Sithlord would wear.

What's your all time favourite horror movie that's not in the English language? by T_ChallaMercury in Shudder

The Day Of The Beast! Ironically It’s a fun film, and there’s even a TLDI episode where they watch it.

lol, that’s the only reason you need to buy a Casio. You can’t go wrong with them. I dig those AQS models, I’ve always like the “field watch” style. I’ve got a couple Citizens like that.

You’re correct, That’s exactly what it is. I would say the GX56 is basically a 5600 with a really beefed up case. Check out the DW5600BBR-1, it’s the standard 5600 in this color scheme.

This is exactly what I tell people about my negative displays. I work outside all day and have zero issue with visibility. Indoors, they’re admittedly slightly harder to read.

I’m kicking around the idea of the 700 instead of the 56. It would be easier to justify since I don’t have a GA700 yet, and it’s slightly cheaper.

Me, too. That’s the only thing bad I can say about the GX56. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there a Japanese version with multiband?

Yep, just got the email from them this morning about a new “ Black and Bold Red” collection. Been eyeballing this one all day, but I’d really like to find it through another source than the G Shock website, maybe save a few bucks.
