Anyone know somewhere that's selling them cheap?
Ta.
ebay.
£45 for a solar wave ceptor jobby thing.
advice? just don't! they're ugly as ****!
with 99.9% of the population carrying mobile phones 24/7 these days it kind of baffles me why anyone ever wears a watch at all.
GW - for mtb riding? I can't wear my phone on my wrist.
Might just get a cheap £8 watch from Argos though... dripping with retro-chique.
with 99.9% of the population carrying mobile phones 24/7 these days it kind of baffles me why anyone ever wears a watch at all.Because maybe people riding their bikes want to quickly check the time by looking at a wris****ch instead hunting through their camelbak and you have to stop as well!
I am looking at a new watch for biking just for this purpose. something cheap & sporty looking so the g-shock looks good for this!
Amazon usually has quite a lot of cheap ones
dripping with retro-chique.
You'll be wanting a Casio Terrorist watch for that.

konabunny - that's what I'm talking about! 🙂

Not sure why these "people riding their bikes" need to know the exact time when it's usually pretty obvious roughly how long it was since they last looked and makes **** all difference either way. 😕
oh.. and believe it or not camelback wearing MTB enthusiasts only make up a very small proportion of all "people riding their bikes".
phone in pocket (but I can ride one handed) = sorted!
Back in your box GW!
😆
Having broken a number of watches I got one with a tide chart on it (I paddle and used to live on a boat). I thought "right, can't break this!".
I scratched the display on a climbing hold (awkard under cling for those curious) after about 5 days like a bell-end 😳
Still works, but reminds me to be careful every time I check the err... time.
This is what you need

If it's just for the bike, spend £20 on a wireless cycle computer.
Most show the time + other things 🙂
Watch out for fakes on Ebay mind, can be quite hard to spot, but the rare G-Shocks have quite a few fakes about.
Got a local Watch shop to me closing down which still have a few G-Shocks in the sale, got a 7710 with a reverse screen. down from £90 to £45!

Drop me an email if you want their details.
Cheap & stylish = swatch, no contest.
Lots of cheapo ones on fleabay too.
Cynic-Al - whatever I wear, de facto equals stylish.
Ski- where abouts are you based?
Sorry, but that's not what I have heard mate.
Haterz Al, haterz...

Got one of these [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001414NT8/ref=oss_product ]Linky[/url] on Amazon for £45 a couple of days ago - although I see they are up to £84 today? They were £76 last week - wild fluctuations in price - but I was obviously lucky. So maybe worth keeping an eye on a couple in Amazon and see where prices go.
I have a g shock with radio time set sola power and dual time which fits the bill for me perfectly, a 3rd of the cost of a new crystal for my tag, dual time for when I travel abroad for work and a lot cheaper than risking my iPhone on the bike or in the bag or what ever.... very happy with it and got it in a highstreet jewlers happened to have it 80 quid for 120.
I got one with a [b]tide chart[/b] on it (I paddle and [b]used to live on a boat[/b])
Looking out of the [s]window[/s] porthole wouldn't have worked, how?
G-Shocks are ace.
Bought all of mine from Hong Kong, bloke below. good prices and fast deliviery.

£50 for a mudman is cracking value

I bought mine for £56 about a year ago, no problems with it.
Solar and radio time.
Never need to set the time or buy new batteries again..
The Solar g-shocks with radio time settings, are a good call by R.lepecha
Worth looking out for.
I now use all the time a reto looking GW-M5600 with solar and radio time. Cost me less than a new battery for my TAG 😉
I do still hanker after one of their 5600 Military versions mind (no solor or radio option though)

Used to be able to get them for about £50ish
[url= 
][/url] this is the one I have and been faultless. very good watch indeed.
Bought myself and my Daughter One from Amazon.
The prices seem to go up and down so keep an eye out.
I bought this in Black for £ 55.00p and a White One for £ 63.00p
last month so keep an eye out on Amazon.
