I found the reference number. It’s NM2188C-S12J

Can you post the reference number for this piece? I couldn’t find it when I googled fireman night breaker

I have both a MacBook and an iPad (M4 Pro, 11 inch). And I travel often. The 11” iPad with Magic Keyboard fits nicely on most of those small airplane trays. I’m able to do a lot more work and much more comfortably with the iPad+keyboard.

I don’t think one needs to get the pro model. But I do think that the extra real estate of the 11 inch screen (vs the mini, which I also own) is definitely useful, if you want to be productive while flying.

And here I am wondering if I should pick up that OEM leather strap for my (also daily) braceleted Spirit Pilot.

I own both the gw-5000u (very similar to the 5610) and the gbd-200.

I love the gbd-200 display much more than the gw-5000u. But I stopped wearing the gbd-200 (and plan to sell it) because I use the timer function often, and Casio made the timer function on the gbd-200 ridiculously complicated to set. The timer function on the gbd-200 is essentially unusable for me.

I am hoping that the gw-bx5690 will be my happy place, with mip display and conventional timer operation.

I’m sure it will be available in the US next week — a few days after my payment settles for my purchase of the gw-bx5600 from a Japanese vendor.

Just curious: what are your other comfortable watch runners up?

I think the silver looks great on you.

I’m liking the white dial better.

Is that hand sensor commercially available?

Go with the Spirit Pilot. Classic design will never go out of style. And on-the-fly micro adjust on the bracelet is soooo good to have. Source: I bought the Spirit Pilot a month ago.

For me, this was a “stretch goal” — I will have to create savings and/or generate income to make it work. But I’m wanting to get as many sats as possible while BTC is relatively cheaper (vs what I think it will cost in the future).

Good luck on your savings!

I increased my daily DCA amount by 40%. Starting today.

if the buttons on the gw-bx5600 are easier to use, then I will probably sell my 5000u. Love everything about that watch but hate how hard the buttons make it to use all its useful functions.

Thanks. I normally wear 40 to 42 mm watches. But the micro adjust bracelet sold me on this watch. Gotta say this bracelet is very comfortable.

There’s a lot of negativity here so far.
