I think this is the first G-1000 on the thread....
7 years old, worn everyday for work. It gets abused but still comes back for more

You've got some cracking G Shocks, I'd love to know how many you have and which is your favourite.Originally Posted by deepsea_dweller
Cheers.
Hi
G-Shock for my Lake District trip.
Whats the model of this G?
Thanks a lot barryw :-) Very kind. I think around 40. Will post my fave sometimes this week :-)
Only 40??!! - I genuinely thought you'd say something like 400, I'm sure I've seen more than 40 different frogs alone??!! - I have 10 and even though worn rarely most of them (though not abused) show signs of use which whilst nothing major would show up in pics, yours always look mint 😉
Ok causal count 4 u ;-) 18 Froggy's, 8 Rangers, 6 Kings, 6 Muddy's, pair of Riseman and a couple of other & older models. Max. 50 - that's it.Only 40??!! - I genuinely thought you'd say something like 400, I'm sure I've seen more than 40 different frogs alone??!! - I have 10 and even though worn rarely most of them (though not abused) show signs of use which whilst nothing major would show up in pics, yours always look mint

I managed to loose a screw in the Case strap from my frogman GWF-1000 yesterday in Dartmoor National Park on the middle of the moors, so check those screws are tight.
Trying to source a replacement but they seem to be a bit rare. I will track one down somehow.
:)
Popped into the Gshock Shop in Covent Garden. No watches at 70% as promised, but some cool g models at decent discounts
Nice colour - also a limited edition? Casio are frustrating with all their best colours being limited
Thanks @crazyp. Cool that you like it. Great colour indeed. It's the GW-9400KJ-8JR Love the Earth and The Sea Rangeman released back in summer 2014. As far as I remember I couldn't get it from the HK Casio stores ( Japan release only , JDM ) I know it's a headache and frustrating.
Grey works remarkably well for a watch. I have a KRINK and such a cool colour.
I'm puzzled with why Casio embark with all these limited releases - they'd do well as regular and would allow us Europeans to get some of the cool stuff. The regular range in general is a bit more subdued.
Agreed. Would be cool if it would be available for everyone around the world. Makes me wonder where're the biggest stores in Europe. UK ?
Covent Garden has a dedicated store, see my post above, but they have a pretty limited stock really. Not a frogman in sight!! :-(
Id agree covent gardens is probably the biggest and nothing interesting at all. Certainly no limited editions!
When they do get limited editions and they do get them in very limited numbers, they go very quick.
I have picked up a couple of very limited ones from their website Casio online, but more by luck as soon as they are posted up they fly off the website.
I bought my krink from a dealer in Germany for below RRP, when I could not get one anywhere in the UK without paying crazy money as they were all sold out.
Contacting Casio direct for parts if you know the part numbers is good too, I think I have managed to buy a replacement strap screw from my frogman, it's not arrived yet but very helpful on the phone.
We need pics :-)
Is that the GA-100MC?
What does the middle small dial do, the one that's numbered up to 90?
And can you have the time in one of the digital displays?
Close. It's a GA-100CM. I do have a GA-100MC and this is the same functionally, just different colours.
It's a speedo. First you tell the watch what set distance you're measuring over. Then use the stopwatch to time something over that distance. This middle small dial will tell you what speed it was doing. I...erm... couldn't live without it.
Yes, you can have either home city time or world time in the left one.
Cheers, I can see how that would be useful
Any idea what the small dial in this one does?
i have tried a few squares in the past and never been really happy but got this for £200 (as new condition) and love it. its currently my only true gshock as my other casio digital is a PRW3000 which is also a great watch.
A new arrival and very pleased with it.
Love the Riseman! Almost as much as this thread!!
Yeah the Riseman is super cool. One of my faves :-)
Camo Froggy
After spartan race...
After clearing the room under the stairs!
Riseman is now looking like this:
Pretty good fun in the summer holidays too!
My first (most likely of too many) G Shock arrived this week. Hoping another one comes in next week.
This is a GA-300 and I rather like it, although the hour hand is a touch short.
