I don't wear mine all that often, but it really comes in handy when I want a watch that can take a beating and wear anywhere. It gets a lot of use at the beach and when doing yardwork at the house. For the price they are tough to beat.

Thanks a lot Merle, and congrats to you too, buddy. Looking good!

[RW16610]

Sweet! This was an excellent choice, Adam! Congratulations, it fits so nicely in that collection. Just fantastic!

[Old Expat Beast]

Thanks a lot Rommel!

Calibrated the Rangeman at sea-level today and took it, and one of the dogs, up to 750 feet. Will get to 1,000 next time

[RW16610]

Amazing view! The watch looks good on your wrist and is great to have on adventures. That looks like a great place to test some of the features.

[Old Expat Beast]

Thanks Rommel, yes it's quite nice up there. If you go to the top of the peak shown in the last pic you can see the airport on the other side.

Found a useful item in Ikea the other day, which helps me keep my G-Shocks in one place, charging and receiving, and makes an easily portable display. I put it in my home-office corner window, where it gets plenty of light, or the bedroom bay window, which has a better Multiband reception. Anyway, just thought I'd share in case anyone else might have use for one. They're only US$2.50, and are made in Slovenia, not China, for a change. It's part of the Familj line of kitchen stuff, and as you probably guessed from the pics is actually a paper towel holder

[RW16610]

I like that, Adam! It's a great way to keep them easily accessible while still allowing them to get light to charge and reception for the atomic timekeeping.

For those that own regular squares and were annoyed by the recessed ADJUST button, I just decided to do a fix.
Enjoy:

Nice job. I still remember how fiddly it was to depress the adjust button on my first digital watch back in 1978. I think I had to use a pen to do it. It wasn't a Casio but looked a bit like my A159.

[Gebbeth]

I heard they are coming out with a Casioak MRG model?

I'm assuming it's gonna be pricey.

Does anybody own a GWGB1000 Mudmaster. The only watch I own is an Omega Seamaster 300m. I have never owned a watch like the G shock. How much bigger will the G shock "wear" compared to my Omega?

I don't have those particular watches but I regularly wear a 36mm (10mm thick) Grand Seiko and a 54mm (17mm thick) G-Shock Rangeman (mainly when hiking). I have a 6.75 inch wrist and while the Seiko is a better fit, the G-Shock feels and looks fine, and at 93 grams is 27 grams lighter than the Seiko. It might take some getting used to, but you will get used to it, I'm sure.

This one was interesting. Love everything except the noisy bracelet. Probably more acoustics than anything though.

Rangeman outdoors today.

Wifey is now a card carrying member! First watch I’ve gotten her to wear outside of an Apple Watch since those first came out.

Nice one, Steve! I'm sure she's going to enjoy it and this can likely lead to her wanting more. Either way I know this one will last a very long time.

[Old Expat Beast]

Still wearing one or more of these most days, and still getting a kick out of seeing they've all three picked up the atomic time signal overnight.
