i love it i have to say 😀

my other watch is an old timex atlantis that i have had for over 20 years i think. when i saw this was in the sale i had to get it (i think £80.00 is a good deal considering what the watch has).

now i just need to figure out the tide time for bristol (as probably the closest to the sea where i live) and the phase of the moon also.

the good thing about this watch for me is it's solar powered and should automatically update watch due to receiving a radio signal from an atomic clock or something.

now i have to go and start doing exercise/diving/judo e.t.c as it built for toughness and surviving harsh treatment.

i tells ya i feel like a real man now 😛

Like that!! I love my G shock it’s well bartered now and maybe even on it’s way out but it’s a great bit of kit!!

Ah, you're a squid fisherman sailing out of Bristol, eh, so needed something with both tide and moon phases? 😉
Nice watch! I have puny wrists so avoided G-Shocks for a while, but they're timeless bits of kit

That's a shame, they look quite good

nicko74 lol

i have really skinny wrists i have to admit but the watch is actually very comfortable and also very light to wear too.

Be honest, that’s not the [i]best[/i] feature of a watch, is it...

If you have small wrists..check out the gw-m5610...

Lovely watch and smaller than most of the range!

I only like the gw-m5610 or gw-m5600. All the others look a bit erm...dramatic.

Plus the shitting date order always pisses me off. How hard would it be to allow EU/UK bods to swap the format? Grrr!

I've always liked the look of g shocks

I've had a couple over the years.

What I don't like is how much they protrude from your wrist.

Get caught on shirt/jacket sleeves etc or in-between alternators and engine blocks......

So i always end up back on the nice slim Taliban special.
