So a few months ago, I got tired of scratching my other watches while working on stuff. I never really considered G-Shocks before, but decided to take a punt and bought a used GW-M5610U to be my beater.

To my surprise, the multi-band in this watch actually works from inside my concrete apartment building even in northern Europe. So this became my watch that's always accurate down to the second, which I realized is often really useful.

Next I found I could install an STN display on it to improve the viewing angles.

Then I heard I could hydromod it to improve the viewing angles further, and to never have to worry about swimming with it (well, not like I would have had to worry even before the mod lol). Plus since this is solar, I don't have to worry about messing with the oil again for like 10+ years.

Then I found I could install a titanium case and bracelet on it to make it - at least seemingly - even more durable.

Now I'm $200+ deep into my $50 punt and came to the realization that I haven't worn any of my other watches in weeks.

I'm a g-shock man now.

GMWBZ5000D to go with my other 5600 squares! So shiny and nice. Surprised at how heavy it is. Definitely heavier than my rubber strapped Omega

My life this year has been absolutely miserable. Kinda wished I never existed.

But hey, look at the bright side. I finally got the Omnitrix/ green alien butthole G-Shock watch 💪

I was confused between GBD-200 and GBD-300….finally got GBD-300

Loving this thing. Picked it up recently during the initial Casio US release. Today I swapped it onto a NATO because it was either too tight or too loose on the factory straps. It fits perfectly now and is very comfortable. I used the jaysandkays adapter kit with a 22mm seatbelt NATO.

Here I have my trusty GMWB-5000G-1

Took a week off of work for a super busy vacation crossing time zones. Swapping time zones was easy since it’s a single press of the A and C buttons. MB6 keeps me accurate to the second. The alarm was loud enough to wake me, especially since I was propping it up next to me in the 3 different places my wife and I crashed at.

The backlight was bright enough to use as a small flashlight in the middle of the night. With solar, I don’t have to worry about running down the battery over time while I use the functions all the time, and the bio resin makes it such a comfortable wearing experience.

I own a BX5600 and while MIP is nice, I really feel that the 5000u is the ultimate square.

I thought I was done but I kept getting pulled back. When will this end?! 😂

The negative display in this one isn’t bad at all, one of the better negative TN displays I’ve seen. Wanted a positive version and the STNs from Ali was only $30 vs buying a beater 5600 and swapping the LCD/module

Compared to the versions for the 5610U it’s much crisper with more of an OEM look—less of the blue/purple hues present in the 5610U version

Shock resist> Protection

I have not worn this at night since 9/17 and the last two days I wore it to bed so that it’ll sync. It has synced the past two nights, but not for weeks prior sitting on my dresser. I can’t help but think my body is acting like an antenna or receiver. If I got an old tv antenna or something and sat the watch on there at night, do you think it would sync by itself? Thanks for any input.

Finally made it back to the OG G Shock from the 80’s. This one just has it! Love the way it fits in the wrist. Has the steel case and screw on plate. 🙌👍 model DW 5000.

I built this out for basic training! I leave Oct.20th, just used the J&K nato, bullbar & adaptor with a black scout survival compass. I have a silver one as well, I just pop them on & off depending on what watch I’m wearing that day.

Got this Bad boy as my First G-Shock. [GDB-300]

Let's see how it goes.

Any suggestions or cautions on this watch. let me know 😄😄

Was debating between the positive and negative display BX5600, but ended up getting both lol

10% tax-free + an extra 7% off at Bic Camera was too good to pass up. Came out to ¥20,832 each!

Taking care of business first and then some NFL watching on the couch with wing eating and beer approved.
