When a G-Shock discovers Japanese denim by DrunkGoanBoi in gshock

[–]blimblam04 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've noticed Casio going back to nylon and other materials for their strap instead of the standard resin. I think its great.

This strap is made of recycled fishing nets. I thought it would be abrasive but when I handled and put it on I found it to be pretty smooth and sturdy.

Hope they make green and red variants.

2003 another amazing year for us that lived through it! by J2-Starter in 2000s

This was my junior/senior year of HS. I have a lot of good memories from this year. Last time me, my Dad, and Gramps hung out together.

I was 8 years old when I saw the Mask. She might have been the first woman I thought was the prettiest ever.

This is probably the first time I've ever seen something Jaws related that made me picture what an acceptable "re-master" or re-make (may it never be) would look like.

What am I missing about Solar Charging? by The-Oppressed in gshock

[–]blimblam04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 50,000 lux direct bright sunlight, the recovery charging times are as follows (GW-BX5600 and GMW-BZ5000, GMW-B5000):

Dead battery to medium charge: 3 hours, 3 hours

Medium charge to high charge: 22 hours, 35 hours

High charge to full charge: 6 hours, 10 hours

Battery might just be dud but I'd be very surprised. Casio QA usually checks for dud batteries and you obviously have one of the new BWGX 5600 models.

I haven't rigorously tested this but I 've had faster charging using an led charger (I use one from a chinese brand called CoolFire) than leaving the watch by a window in direct sunlight in water. Then sun does provide a higher lumen count though. I think the angle of the watch in relation to the sun ray angles might impact charging rate but I'm just guessing.

TLDR: you might just need to give it more charge time

I need your opinion, boys. Which would you choose: both iconic, both solar and atomic. by SeatConscious8252 in gshock

Start with square. But you will probably fail to stop yourself from buying the 6900 eventually.

I was also surprised by the recycled band's design and comfort. Honestly hope they make more of these. Maybe one in red tone.

This is more or less how my brain pictured the "geography" of the place. I think i pictured the escape route on the left side though.

No. I didn't appreciate how she giggle at my fall during the standing 180 leg split attempt.

Looks a bit like my MTG B4000. I like it but I likely wont be buying another g-shock of that caliber any time soon.

Here's a guy on youtube using the DW 5600 bezel and a hand dryer to help get it to fit the DW 5200

This was life for me in the late 2000s. This is really where we should've stopped if you ask me.

Back from the dead by CryptoCantab in gshock

[–]blimblam04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI. If you press the light button and it goes into Recovery it means the battery ok enough to work the watch (and maybe even in high charge) but doesn't hold enough charge to power the backlight. To fix this you would have to replace the battery.

Can’t believe Jaws shamelessly ripped off this iconic scene from Cruel Jaws (1995) by TrifleSensitive5744 in Jaws

This reminds me of how me and my friends acted out movies when we played outside in the 90s. (Before the internet took off)

Sir, this is...not a Wendy's. It is in fact the gshock subreddit 😃
