I just made an unusual (for me) purchase....and I’m very happy with it!




I can’t help but feel that its design had been slightly influenced by....

Congratulations. I have been looking at these watches since release and will pick one up when I can get a significant discount.

Congrats! I have the all black (resin band) 5000, and it’s my favorite home / weekend watch. Was thinking of picking one of these newer versions w/ Bluetooth as I enjoy my current one so much.

Just tried this one on the other day and was thinking of getting it (vs the bracelet) bc I thought it would be more comfortable - how does it wear over extended period of time ?

Like all rubber straps depends on the weather , but it's supple and comfortable , is not like the rubber of a Std G shock it feels softer and more comfortable, I have no complaints.

Actually is not big at all , wears smaller than 43, and very small for a Gshock.
