    I really fancy the dlc version, have the steel positive version incoming as a present for my son and will see what a difference the newer lcd makes. Always found the negative versions very hard to read - does stn make much difference irl?

    Saw one of these in the flesh on Saturday and really easy to read. The best negative display I have seen.

    Was the Gorillaz GX GX56BBGRLR-1ER available on the website as I can't seem to see one for sale other than one on ebay?

    Suspect the finish will not hold up as well. The gold plated ones are very sensitive IME but the DLC Porter seems to be quite difficult to put a mark on (I’ve tried).

    Today the GWF-D1000NV,

    Not surprising - there is also a big difference even at list price! DLC also seems to have gotten so much better over the years. Maybe some Wabi will make it interesting ;)

    I looked at these as they seem to do this and two negative displays.

    What is the bracelet like that you have taken off...is it similar to the combi bracelet.

    Thanks

    Can't help you with that, but it does have much more readable display in compare with GW-5000 from extreme angles.


    Oh, and yes, same white LED backlight like full metal square.

    That's the Russell one? I believe they were on the website for pre-order along with the Noodle version for a brief time on the 15th November, the site issues meant I couldn't get a hold of either. More stock will be available to buy on the 15th December when these are actually released.

    Hope this helps.

    I had a chance to see the all black and silver versions in a local ‘Ernest Jones’ and whilst the positive lcd really looks noticeably clearer I couldn’t see any real difference to a standard lcd on the negative one. It looked maybe a tiny bit crisper but still hugely less legible than the standard silver version. If my eyes were 10 years younger maybe not an issue but as a 40 something negative lcds are still a no for me, even stn versions apparently mind you the black and silver both look great, the gold just looks like the love child of c3po and a 5600, just sooooo gold

    My first G-Shock...



    New contact lenses mean I can actually read a digital watch so I thought I'd celebrate and picked this up on Amazon.

    Love the ZULU strap.... not a fan of the resin alternative.

    Yes, thanks .

    The one on eBay sold for £270 - fair premium.

    thinking ahead to two years from now when the battery goes.... what's the normal policy wrt battery replacement?

    Do it yourself and a thin smear of grease on the seal?
    Find a shop and get them to do it and charge more than the watch cost?
    Throw away and buy a new one?

    Firstly, the battery in all my 5600’s has lasted well in excess of 2 years. Unless you use the light and alarm multiple times every day, you’re looking nearer to 5 years in reality, and this seems to be common according to my own experience and across the net. To change the battery, simply unscrew the 4 screws on the caseback, replace the battery, tiny tiny smear of silicone on the gasket, be careful not to over tighten the screws and you’re good for another 5 years. I used to send mine back to Casio uk who were very reasonable but it’s so easy to do yourself. Enjoy your G, they deserve their reputation imho!

    So I've watched some videos and there's talk of an ac reset by connected a pad to + on the battery.

  35. #4585
    Never had to do an ac reset, always been a case of pop in the battery job done. Be careful not to lose the little spring that presses against the caseback for the beeper.

    Is there a GShock available with a compass function currently? Had a look online but it’s not glaringly obvious!

    Don't forget the Protrek range which are smaller and although not G shock are still robust.

    That Protrek looks great, how much smaller are they than the Mudmaster?

    The Protrek is 47mm but seems to wear more like 44mm.

    The big difference is depth which is around 13mm which makes it wearable unlike the Rangeman GPS i had which is over 19mm in depth.

    Ahh ok, looks a great watch. I did have a Mudmaster but just thought it was to big for me, shame as I really liked it. 😦
