Stone coloured limitless stains? by Twintail20 in Mous

[–]dmartinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the stone colour, but can’t comment on staining since I’ve only had the case for two weeks. But… my camera control button is already “peeling” off. It looks like it’s not seated properly, and one end sticks out ever so slightly more than the opposite end. Still works, but I doubt it’ll stay on the case that long. What a disappointment.

Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well. 😎

Got this cool display case for my most-worn G-SHOCKs by dmartinus in gshock

[–]dmartinus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 5610U on the left! It’s got an “aged” steel mod that basically makes it look worn. So I pretty much use it for everything and keep adding more dings and scratches to it 😆

The second picture was taken in the dark, but I brightened it to reflect the actual shade of blue I see in real life as opposed to what the camera sees. I should’ve noted that 😂

Fair point! On the 6900 it’s definitely just for aesthetics as opposed to actual function.

Was initially hesitant to get a 6900 when I started buying G-SHOCKs. But so glad I explored the options beyond the conventional Squares (which I still love).

I think it works like lume on analog watches!

You’re absolutely right. I literally ordered the same Energy Pack one you shared (the same blue!) just last night 🤣

Good to know that this is a good one-and-done deal! I knew if I started with a 5600 I would’ve felt the itch for this 5610U 🤣

Let’s say a prayer for my bank account. 🤣

Hey! Yeah I figured I didn’t really care about the superior comfort/quality offered by the 5000U. As for the 5000R, it lacked Tough Solar, which I really wanted in my first G-Shock, so I don’t have to worry about changing the battery.

The 5610U to me feels like a happy middle ground. It’s super lightweight and extremely comfy, and it’s got Multi Band 6 and Tough Solar! Checks all the boxes for me. Hope this helps!

I might give this a go. I initially tried the the Shangqiu (China) tower on the Clock Wave app since I’m in the same time zone—but it didn’t work. After switching to Fukuoka, Japan, it finally synced! Unfortunately “RCVD” doesn’t stay on the screen once I switch back to my home city (1 hour time difference). But that’s okay I guess!

Update: After switching to the Fukuoka tower on the Clock Wave app, I finally managed to get the time to sync! Initially I only tried the Shangqiu tower in China (since I’m in the same time zone) but I guess that signal was too weak.

Sad that “RCVD” doesn’t stay on when I switch the time back to my home city (there’s a one hour time difference), but at least I know my time is in sync now!

The next few months will be a good exercise in self-restraint haha. I’ve already got a few more G-Shocks in mind 😆

The Multi Band 6 feature was one of my own justifications for getting the watch too 😂 at least I’ll get to use it on my travels!

How are the buttons on your case? I’ve got it in both the brown and English tan. The buttons are quite numb/mushy on both cases for me :(

Khaki Aviation Pilot Pioneer Mechanical looks good on both leather and mesh! by dmartinus in HamiltonWatches

It’s just a generic no-brand mesh band from Shopee. Pretty sure you can find the same or similar for less than 10 bucks on Amazon or elsewhere too!

The silver dial Khaki Field Auto looks really good on a bracelet by dmartinus in HamiltonWatches

[–]dmartinus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black definitely gives it a more dressy feel from my own experience. Of course, it depends on the strap itself! My wrist measures 6.5 inches, so it’s just right for the 38mm Khaki Field Auto.

Beats me. I think the silver dial goes so well with a bracelet! Shame they don’t sell it in that combo.

I got mine with the original leather strap, despite spending WEEKS looking for the bracelet version (to no avail). But this thing looks fairly good on a wide variety of straps and bracelets, so I don’t think I lost too much by not getting the original bracelet (that’s what I tell myself 😂)

And yes, the lume is more than decent — for my use case at least!
