yeah i love the dw 6600. had one of those that i bought from a us mil contractor. wore it for many years till the strap broke

is there even a good viable alternative to g-shock?

gshock on metal braclet = stupidity.

>>18136043

Stainless steel casios

2+ years ago I bought a 5000U to replace my 5600 from 2009 which died after nearly 10 years of daily infantry shit.

I've really loved the 500U so far, I use it every day in forestry and it has a few marks and scuffs on it but no actual damage. Feels quality.

>>18136183
could you pls post a pic of your watch? would be cool to see how its held up

bought it recently

is ana-digi fine?
the bezel design isn't as impact resistant as a typical g shock but mine's held up very well.

>>18136183
I have a 5610. Definitely worth it. Practically indestructible.

>>18136658
Wow this website kills picture quality these days. Full sakes I don't want to upload 40 different watches.

Well fuck that.

>>18137343
ana-digis where the digi part's not predominant are the only watches i find negative displays acceptable on. it actually somewhat makes sense to use one, since its sorta meant to blend in. but i agree that one's very nice.

No, check aliexpress for digital watches and you’ll find about a million brands with tons of wild designs. But obviously, Casio is guaranteed quality and imho worth the price.

Based a700 poster

anyone else dislike most/all of the f91w lookalike watches casio puts out?
IMO they all missed the point by enlarging it to meet current fashion trends: its a sports watch. its supposed to be small. if you can't do a pushup wearing it without it bumping up against your wrist its not a real sports watch.

The worse a watch look, the better it is.

>>18138581
I really want one of these but the fact that you need to press a button to get it to display the time makes it a no go.

>>18138712
The dream for me is an exact F91W lookalike that just has a better backlight to it. There's a similar one that has a great light but the face is bright blue, so it looks shit.

what's the cheapest digital watch that can last for a decade or so I can buy?
don't care too much about look and brand name as long as its reliable.

>>18138763
the closest you can get is buy a f91w and buy the skmei knockoff of the f91 then swap the skmei guts into the casio shell.
you effectively get exactly that. menus all work the same but the backlight's better. with the main downside being the buttons are kind of crunchy.

>>18138712
i did the clear screen minimal mod on mine, looks much better

>>18138879

>>18138646
I have the normal silver version of this. It's nice to have an all-steel digital with a real countdown timer (don't know why Timex removed it for their own version).

>>18140434
What does it countdown from? I always. Use the stopwatch on my casio but that counts up. Sorry for dumb question.

What does that mean?

>>18137334
Just get a square gshock

>>18137461
That makes sense. Never thought it that way.

>>18140479
I forgot the default, but I have mine set to 15 minutes

>>18140689
The watch kept getting completely reset while on deployment. I figured out it was because I had automatic radio wave reception turned on and it was getting fucked up by the ship's radar arrays.

>>18140804
Oh I see. I like the multiband feature, but I don't have signal where I live. I have to investigate if I can replicate the signal myself.

>>18140698
i have that same one the display isn't that bad through an eyeball not a camera.
the colored font ones fare much better than the white font too, never had a problem reading them in direct sunlight.

>>18137334
it's an great watch. I would replace the original strap with a SGW300 canvas strap though. the two grooves on top cut into the skin a bit deep. otherwise the original strap would be more than alright.

>>18140690
the square gshocks are usually a bit smaller. maybe the gbd or gbx versions would be good. they might be similar size.

>>18137696
Timex has the ironman and like 3 other digitals (the others suck)
Citizen has like 5 that are mid

Ive been really pleased with my Garmin Instinct so far. Ive had it since February and the only complaint was the silicon strap didn't breath so I replaced it with a canvas strap and its been perfect so far.

this one mogs the entire thread

>>18142003
isn't the heart rate sensor at the bottom uncomfortable?

it also rises the price like crazy on top of being semi-solar, semi charge.

>>18141715
It's a very good watch.

>>18142003
its too big (like +10% vs normal square), but i would love a smaller square with MIP display

>>18141991
Loved mine till I lost it.

>>18136043
>>18137512
nice, i'd keep the white, negative display ti and tva ti and bin the rest but nice.

>>18142142
The sensor isn't uncomfortable, unless you are securing the watch very tightly (e.g. to the point where the straps are leaving a very deep mark on your wrist). The only issue I've had with fit was some irritation on my skin if I wear the watch 24/7 for 3+ months, but that happens with every silicon strap.

I got it on sale for $200 so I don't think it was expensive, some of the guys ITT are paying $3,000+ for "special edition" models or $200+ for regular ones.

>>18142206
The closest thing to that are the GDB models, but they aren't technically squares. I'm actually purchasing pic related once I can get it at a reasonable price

At what price point do you think you hit the diminishing returns wall for G-Shocks?

>>18144365
I got my full metal at a discount of $360, but I still feel like I paid too much for it. I want the ana-digi here >>18137343, but the $250 pricetag is making me think long and hard about it. I could be too Jewish about this, I don't know.

Timex Ironman is one of the best digital watches I ever owned, the model you post doesn't have the Indiglo feature that 90's Ironman watches had.

>>18142229
>bin the rest
No. I gave away the white one. The GWF-D1000 Frogman is the epitome of G-Shock and looks sublime. The GMW-B5000TB is one of the most subtle and beautiful square designs, it's even in the OP. The basic squares are great for mixing and matching modules, bezels, and straps to make unique creations. It keeps things fresh and fun.

>>18144365
Depends on the features you need. Look at the tiers of squares for example:
>DW-5600UE
basic
>G-5600UE
solar
>GW-M5610U
solar, atomic
>GW-B5600
solar, atomic, bluetooth
>DW-5000 anniversary
basic, metal case
>GW-5000
solar, atomic, metal case
>GMW-B5000
solar, atomic, bluetooth, STN display, metal case, band, and bezel
>GMW-B5000 titanium
solar, atomic, bluetooth, STN display, sapphire crystal, DLC coating, titanium case, band, and bezel
>MRG-B5000
solar, atomic, bluetooth, STN display, sapphire crystal, DLC coating, high grade titanium case, band and bezel, all hand polished

They are all overpriced because it's a niche product with no alternatives. Remember to never pay retail. I wanted a sapphire crystal so I overpaid for the titanium model. The MRG is diminishing returns for me because hand polishing isn't worth it for me but I might be tempted if I find a good deal or if they release a style that I like.

Thoughts?

>>18144365
Anything metal is way too expensive. That's why I buy gshock squares and put them in Aliexpress metal cases.

>>18144892
looks good and casio should feel ashamed for not making any of their existing 5610 all white or all gray

>>18145135

Im looking for a solar watch in the style of the f-91w. Whats the closest I can get? Preferrably a small watch that i can carry wherever and dgaf what happens to it.

>>18144892
Actually looks good. What's the water resistance?

>>18144658
What do you think about the gw-5000u at 260 eurobucks? I really want one, but I know I could get a Rangeman for that price. Which gshock would you buy for that price if not the gw-5000?

>>18145580

>>18145272
You can't go wrong with a GW-5000U. Personally I don't like the module so if I want a metal case with resin band and bezel I go for one of the anniversary DW-5000 squares which have the basic module. The Rangeman is a great watch but it's big and you wont be using all those extra features. If you think you will be genuinely using the barometer, compass, and thermometer then it's worth considering. I use the compass and thermometer once or twice a year on my frogman and purely as a gimmick. The GW-5000U will be a more versatile and you can new band and bezels for it to change the look of it. For 260 eurobucks, if I couldn't save up for a GMW-B5000, I would buy a DW-5000SS and a DW-5600U and swap the module and bands/bezel, or get a GW-B5600CD, if I didn't want to fuzz. I like the module in the watches I mentioned better but you will be happy with the GW-5000U. Don't stress.

How much am I expected to pay to get a sapphire crystal, STN display, tough solar, multi band and a screw down caseback square Casio?

My latest watch

>>18147641
STN is only available on the metal squares, they are over $500 or about $350 used. Sapphire is only available on the titanium squares, they are over $1500 or around $1000 used. Yes it's a scam, yes I fell for it, yes I would do it again, and again. They should have a $400 sapphire+STN screw down square with resin band/bezel and one in titanium for $600 but they wont because of market segmentation.

I bought a Instinct 2 solar last week and have totally stopped wearing my real watches. Funny how I went from "Bluetooth gshock? No thanks" to "yes Garmin here is my height and weight please GPS track my hikes"

Didn't notice we had a digital watch thread, that's cool.

>>18140804
what happens when you turn that feature off?

>>18137612
for quality digitals your options are basically casio or timex. skmei if $5 vs $20 is a big difference.

>>18138763
you want A168W then. better backlight and the strap won't croak on you. though, A158WA looks better and has higher contrast display but has the same F91W backlight. I personally prefer better display contrast over backlight

>>18143784
F201 needs current time in stopwatch/countdown modes. would be ideal otherwise.

>>18150306
is that a modded casio?

It's cool but the functions are too basic for a quartz digital for me.

>>18150399
It is! It's an A1000M-1BJF with the module and bracelet from an A700.

>>18150412
looks great anon. mods are not my style (I want factory WR and don't trust myself to not screw it up) but kudos for making a great looking mod. could go well with formalwear too.

>>18150413
Thanks anon! Yeah I get that completely. Luckily they only rate the A1000 at 30m anyways, so it's not something I ever intend to get wet past a couple drops of rain or a splash from washing my hands. I'm fairly confident in my abilities as well, at least for something like this,
Regardless, I almost had to swap the module, the negative display that it comes with was just way too hard to read, harder than most sadly. The stock mesh bracelet was actually quite nice though, I'm surprised that it actually had quick release springbars too.

my two watch collection. one for casual/sports another one as a dress watch. or the other way around, doesn't matter.

>>18136043
Picked that one up, it's well made and all metal.

>>18140995
>I have to investigate if I can replicate the signal myself.
There are apps like Clock Wave and other methods of simulating the signal. At the end of the day people get carried away and forget it's just easier to adjust your watch manually while checking an official atomic clock and get the same accuracy.

>>18140995

>impact resistance
any cheapo 20 dollar casio will provide impact resistance in spades, its really hard to break a digital watch by the type of whacks its going to experience being worn on wrist.

I bought this for my dad a year or so back, he uses it all the time. I would recommend it if you don't use any of the features and just leave it on the home screen. The display looks great but the functions are kind of slow.

The alternatives are hunting down the GMW-B5000G-1, a GMW-B5000EH-1, or swapping the display.

>>18155143
I do dishes with it on for work and it still works like a fucking charm. Really don't need anything else.

Does casio release a new titanium square every year? I know they did the two virtual armors recently. Something coming up this year?

is it true that the solar watches brick themselves after the charging circuit goes bad and the non solar ones are basically good forever as long as you don't leave old batteries in them and let them leak?

The last non-MRG titanium square was released over a year ago. They haven't been a hit since the original and the TVA. Wisely they are slowing down releases. Maybe they are trying to come out with something really good. I'm still waiting for an MRG that suits my taste. If they get desperate enough they might release what everyone actually wants which is a bare, uncoated titanium non-MRG model. Maybe even a regular model that's not limited edition like all the previous ones.

>>18156274
do you know if those other titaniums came out during the summer or what part of the year? wondering if we are maybe "due" or if they really did skip this year

>>18155146
>negative STN is also really good, as good as positive TN

>>18156308
The novel ones come out before Christmas, October, November. The rehashes come out mid year, April, June. They are often leaked before release and I haven't heard any leak for titanium models.
>>18156311
It's very tempting at that price. I would have gotten it if it was DLC instead of IP but honestly I'm over DLC right now. The most tempting model for me is the silver MRG, you can get it cheap used. The only thing that ruins it for me is the brick pattern. I just have enough brick models.

>>18156317

If you have nothing to contribute it's best to kys.

>>18156274
You don't like any of the MR-G squares?

Now that I've seen this thread I'm gonna cop this.

Is there anything better that I should look at instead? This has solar battery and nuclear syncing I think.

>>18156522
That watch is the best bang/buck ratio. You can pay more if you want a metal case or a full metal watch, but those are more for the fanboys.

>>18156488
Only the silver one, I would have gotten the MRG-B5000R if I didn't already have the GMW-B5000TB which has the same colors.

This guy. I've never owned a watch before, but when I walked past a store with this guy in its front window I couldn't help myself. Yeah, the digital clock arms are completely unnecessary, but that's what makes it cool

Is it okay for me to wear a Baby-G Shock if I have a 16cm wrist?

>>18157288
G shock squares aren't very big, it's just the chunky bezel that gives that impression. Consider going to a shop to try some on.

>>18156664
gym wont increase my bone size

>>18157288
Yes. You can also look into the GMD-S5600 series, a lot of models have an "S" for small: GLX-S5600, GMS-S5600, etc.. I have smaller wrists and I wear digital G-Shocks of any size. Analog watches are the ones that are ruined when they are too large. Digital watches just become sci-fi toys when they are oversized and I like the aesthetic.
