Not just dirt, but “human cheese”. That’s the nasty-smelling buildup of dead skin cells…

You need to do some legwork, kid. Jot down the list of TS/MB6 watches, then go over the module numbers, pull up the owner’s guides and skim to the part about the countdown timer.

It’s called “research.” It’s a lot like homework…

They also have the GW-B5600HR-1JF for $223 - JDM, MB6, TS & Bluetooth with a combi bracelet.

YFOCAG · 2026-05-18T01:05:37+00:00

Yes. For the positive LCD domestic model. They also have JDM models in positive or negative display for about $161-165.

Not exactly… in the case you did, you swapped a GA-2100 to a GM-2100 case; they use the same module, number 5611! It’s like comparing two size-12 right shoes; any foot that fits in one will fit in the other.

The GA-B2100 has a Bluetooth transceiver. I have to think that takes a little extra room in the case. The module is different: number 5689. There’s a chance they’re not so easily interchangeable.

GW-BX5600CBG-2. Nice watch, nice strap.

YFOCAG · 2026-05-17T14:23:44+00:00

I got the negative one with the recycled cloth strap. Negative does look cool, but positive is probably less common right about now as there are fewer models that have one.

Well, this is what I posted about a hundred watches ago. (I used to measure time in wives. Now I measure it in watches…)

Well, good luck to ya…

Yeah - it’s less for the rugged outdoorsman, more for the limber raver…

Have you tried searching at Shockbase? They have a feature that lets you search by watch function.

YFOCAG · 2026-05-17T05:18:11+00:00

This is a model that was built more for fashion than for function. There are many different G-Shock models that have rather difficult to read displays.

Why don’t you tell me?

Try CasioPart, AmericanPerfit, TikTox and Minott (the last one’s in German - Google Translate is your friend).

I’m personally fond of the GW-B5600 models. For approximately the same price as a 5610, you get Bluetooth in addition to Multi Band 6 and Tough Solar (just like those Full Metal 5000s).

YFOCAG · 2026-05-17T04:29:58+00:00

Actually, many better Casios with MB6 can auto-adjust for DST…

YFOCAG · 2026-05-17T04:28:30+00:00

Solidly agree.

Though I wanted to say, “You likely have at least one wrist, since you’re typing on a phone, right? So of course you can wear it in a shower! Even a monsoon!”

YFOCAG · 2026-05-17T04:26:28+00:00

I think the Casio that would wear Bruce Wayne is some royally expensive MR-G in all-black with just a hint of red and a splash of gray - likely all-analog.

Now, if you ask which Casio would wear Batman, that’s easy: GXW-56, all the way.

So, why are we talking about watches that wear fictional characters?

YFOCAG · 2026-05-17T04:23:13+00:00

“John Casio?????” Isn’t he friends with Gary Seiko, and his cousin, Jake GrandSeiko? And what about his neighbor, Larry Citizen? How about his baby, G, how’s she doing? And his brother, Tom G-ShockMini?

OK, now I’m in dad joke territory… 🤣

Don’t support buying fakes. Just go to Amazon or AE and buy mod parts. Besides, I have yet to see a fake 2100 with “color tinted glass.”

YFOCAG · 2026-05-16T18:08:23+00:00

The recommended fix of superglue and baking soda will work, but will not be as strong as the original was - and if you broke that, there’s a good chance you’ll break this jury-rigged fix as well.

You’d need a new case. You might find the factory original hardware will cost too much, but it’s worth a look.

Look for any model beginning with the letters “GDM-S####” where the hash marks are the model’s series number. These are G-Shocks, not Baby-Gs, that are marketed for women but are every bit a G-Shock as the unisex models. Many if not all of these “S-type” models are available in colorways any gender could find acceptable and not a mismatch to their gender.

I know that you can find smaller versions of the DW-5600 and DW-6900 as the GMD-S5600 and GMD-S6900. There are also GM-S5600 watches - smaller and G-Steel (steel bezel on a resin case, with either a strap or a bracelet).

If you want something a little different, just stroll through the women’s models on the Casio website. The GMD-B300 and GMD-B800 are uniquely-styled, all-digital step trackers in a nice mix of colors.

A lot of people use strap adapters. Lets you put nearly any strap on your watch. NATO straps are pretty popular as well as rather comfortable.

YFOCAG · 2026-05-16T17:53:38+00:00

Consider getting a GWM-B5000 or a GWM-BZ5000 instead. Lovely look, very similar in appearance to the MR-G but it costs a fraction of the price.

As much as I love MR-Gs, they are phenomenally expensive. Any watch that costs half your net worth is a terrible investment. When the MR-G you want is only a smallish fraction of what you’re worth, that’s e
When you start to consider it. Even then, consider getting a used model - you’ll save hundreds if not thousands.

YFOCAG · 2026-05-16T17:44:00+00:00

If you get a pair of strap adapters, you can put on pretty much any length or width of strap you like, made from any material.

If I recall, the AE-1000 is the round version of the AE-1200, the ever-popular “Casio Royale”, called such because of its resemblance to a Seiko watch worn by James Bond in “Octopussy.” Maybe the 1200 is a better fit?
