squiff wins…

Incorrect – paulosoxo wins! What’s that model?

Though mine is looking considerably more used than that 🙂

That GW-3000B-1AER that Squiff posted gets closest to what I like. Take away the extra dials in the main dial, and most of the daft text, like world time-zones, and I’d have one.
This is my perfect watch, (mine’s identical to this one, just not my photo):

A Casio G-Shock with a simple face like this would be perfect, with solar and radio control. Who needs all the other crap on it, it’s just showing off.

Who needs all the other crap on it, it’s just showing off.

I do, cos otherwise I get lost 🙂

My lovely square lump! Hardly leaves my wrist, even on the bike. I have a bit of a thing for green.

I’d love the hyper-complex analogue one in the same colors.

That’s why I’ve got the whole UK 1:50k OS maps on my phone… 😀

Not much use underground or in a big building 🙂

This one but not the Japanese import.

Bawbag, what’s that? Best thing on here, apart from paulosoxo’s caseless model…

I have one of these. Bought for about £60 at an airport somewhere or other I seem to remember. Years ago. Well over a decade ago.

Not powered by anything as crude as a battery, I’m sure of it. It seems to go on for ever, and ever, and ever. Will be terrible when I have to replace it!

Flash, is that not a laydeeee’s wristwatch? For feminine wrists?
😉
Have to admit I’m very tempted by more than a few of these, as long as I can fit them round my rather skinny arm

You feeky little chucker!

It’s pretty large, actually, but not in the stupidly large sizes many watches are appearing in now!

Protrek and Gshock are nice. Casio are my most trusted watch brand.
However for the more discerning gent, you really should consider a nice Oceanus:

TITANIUM:TICK
ATOMIC:TICK
ANALOGUE:TICK

Also has saphire crystal and an alarm.
Best watch ever.

Had but three G-shocks over the last 20 years, one lost, one the strap pin holes wore through, and now this beauty:

Big clear numbers, simple display.

Never buy a watch that can’t be used as a hammer.

Off to the shed to pull the case of the old gshock in my toolbox 🙂

I have this for walks and cycling, though an HRM is coming so will use it sporadically when that arrives I would think.

I have this:
G-056b

Don’t like wearing a watch while cycling, so it’s getting used as my normal watch. I have a titanium Citizen for the business casual look 😉 and a Atlantic Worldmaster for when I need to wear a suit.

Three watches might seem like overkill for some, but for me it’s like having 3 bikes (mtb, cx and a road bike) :-). The Atlantic would look stupid while wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Citizen is the most versatile watch, however it’s too nice to wear it as an every day watch. The g-shock makes me look younger as well 😉

It was a DW-9200K from 1997/98

Never buy a watch that can’t be used as a hammer.

or a bath plug.

Mine, with 3 years of trail mud stuck to it.

Mine was bought around 1995 (1 battery change in that time) and still gets used on most bike rides…

Bit stormtrooper but I love it.

Bawbag, what’s that?

It’s a GW-M5600BC. Solar charge and radio sync so zero maintenance.

This is mine, all full of titanium atomic clock solar powered goodness, not to bulky either, I wear it 95% of my waking hours…

^ That’s the one I wanted – but was rarer than hen’s teeth when I bought mine!

ive got this one just recently for riding…got an older blue one but prefer this one…dont want to smash my good watch which is a nice omega.only £70 from amazon

I’ve got a G-7710-1. Worn every day, it’s the only watch I’ve had that’s lasted, aside from one of the original Animal watches which went on for years.

I’ve got the same as squiff, fathomer and stevenieve

aah like this thread!! 🙂

big fan of G shock watches and have loads over the years.. and not 1 has broke 🙂 the current fleet..2 at the back left knocking 10 years old and taken lots of abuse haha

I have a DW5900 and a G7710, the DW5900 must be around 20 years old now, it’s fairly basic on functions but to this day it is still going strong.

My mountain biking watch:

Bought this a few months back and it’s all I use now, may sell the others.

I guess this is about the only G-Shock I’ve found that I would actually buy, although I’d get adaptors and swap the strap for a NATO nylon one; plastic straps give me a rash.

[edit] that Oceanus is nice, although its still got three too many dials for my liking… 😀
[edit edit] How much! Just had a Google, and they’ve been discontinued, now called Edifice. Still going for over £700!
I’ll stick with the £50 one I posted up. My Seiko was only £350, by comparison to the Oceanus.

Had the chance to buy this rare GA-110F 2JR a few months ago for £300.
It’s now on Ebay for £1300

Tis gopping though…..

Yeah, it’s not exactly subtle.
Think it was a design exercise to show how many colours they could use.

Tis gopping though…..

It’s beautiful!

And ebay it shall stay.
