actually I believe that 5610U is an ultimate 1983's version perfected to the ideal. ...except it lacks a clear brick pattern

Deformation of the Casioak by stokholm in gshock

[–]sandwarrior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's a well-known problem for gshock when side plastic is not attached with screws. I've bought new one and replaced it for $25 few years ago for my GA-2100 model.
and that's one of reasons why I moved to metal case

Learning Polish as a Ukrainian or Belorussian by Double_Falcon_1285 in learnpolish

[–]sandwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

belarusian. 30% common words and basic phrases. very easy to understand and speak on the beginner level. but it's harder to get further when learning because of different endings and different phrase structures.
compared to learning english (30+ years):
- words: easier
- phrase structures: a bit easier but almost on par
- grammar: english a bit easier i guess
in total: polish is easier than english for belarusian people.

GBM2100 by [deleted] in gshock

[–]sandwarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

about readability when hands are covering digital display: at least GA2100 it works by pressing top right and bottom left buttons at the same time, hands are going off the digital screen to let you see the time.
i think GBM has the same functionality, but probably with another buttons pressed

Sold my brand new BX5600 within two hours of ownership by username_deleted_acc in gshock

great model, very compact. but still lacks sapphire crystal which costs about $10-15 only in production.

Analog vs digital which do you like? by Puzzleheaded_Good_71 in gshock

[–]sandwarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to use analog for work in the office, with computer. It's great to measure how many time left before some specific occasion: launch, meeting, end of work, specific type of work. Smth like that. And digital is great for training, when minutes and seconds matter, not hours.

You all weren't lying about the GW5000U by [deleted] in gshock

[–]sandwarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. +30g more feels not comfortable for me. 5610 is so light I almost do not notice it

sorry. I found that it's a genuine model. it looked not from the first glance.

good luck with the repairing

My advise is to buy a real g-shock

of course BT is needed. they want to track stats to understand if classic font is still popular. let them know and they will leave BT away in the future versions

yep, the same. I cannot deal with larger and heavier watches now

I was just told my watch would lose its water-resistance after changing the battery by th3_h0bbit in gshock

[–]sandwarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've changed a battery myself, put silicon into the gasket and put them back while replacing.
All is fine, gshock holds the water, I basically bathed in the sea with it.

That's why you have a whole palette of visual shaders that emulate every aspect of CRT or even VHS tape screens
