What is your favorite G shock or Casio?
Hankering for one to entertain me in quarantine.

Read that there is a new Casio G Squad that measures heart rate.
Anyone knows if this is available yet? Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk |

You are in luck
There is a new G Shock out this year. It is the 2100-1A1DR. It comes in a black with white markers or a blacked out version. That blacked out one looks nice. I have the standard DW-5600E-1V that sells for under $100.00. Really can't go wrong with any of them. It's all about what looks good to you on the wrist.

Here
Here is the new one out. Only $99.00. But takes some searching I believe it is only released at this time in Asia. Oh, I have read they call this the AP Off Shore or something like that.

Can’t recall the model No. but it has a pretty neat party trick in that the dial lights up when you turn your wrists, ideal if you have big thick gloves on and it’s winter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I find the blacked out versions difficult to read, but thank you. I am looking at the Casio “Royal Oak” GA2100. Price jacked up, takes awhile to get. Plus others.

I think this is the one my friend. G5600E-1. It's their classic model. I tried to access my Amazon account now to be sure and share the link I used just to find out that my account was hacked. I had to contact them to work this out. This is the world we live in today unfortunately.

Just got these 2, limited editions. PS go on YouTube for tutorial, easier than Casio manual.

Tough Solar is pretty awesome. Father in law was a prepper type. When he passed away, I found this and thought if he had a g-shock, it’d be this one (his fav color was blue, too). So I tracked one down. |

Rangeman for me.
Probably the best feature packed G-Shock for under $200 hands down. Love my rangeman. I also have the CasiOak with the hard to get white indicies, and a GD100 blacked out model. Scored that one for $50 BNIB on eBay some time ago. If you have a bigger wrist - a Rangeman is a must have. |

Just have my trusty 5610 at the moment.
But have to say that I like the look of the newly launched GBD-H1000 or GBD-100 Scroll down on the link below and you see a comparison of features. If you don’t need the heart rate monitor and extra sensors the 100 looks like it could be a good buy http://world.g-shock.com/asia-mea/en...squad/gbd-100/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Its like asking me to pick a favorite kid
But this one does stand out. Its a MRG-8150 in stainless steel. The case shape and finish just reminds me some much of Grand Seiko. And the fully articulating lugs are so comfortable to wear. I can't believe I picked this over the OG DW-5600C "Speed" .. LOL

Love my Rangeman. First time you put it on you think this thing is HUGE! Thirty minutes later you forget it there.

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=735197 Sounds like about half the board (myself included) put in an order for this watch It's the best looking G-Shock I have seen to date. Size is better too IMO. Doesn't have the hockey puck look that so many G-Shocks have on the wrist. |

I just picked one up last week. There're so many that I couldn't make up my mind as it's my first square g-Shock. I do like the titanium Camo but hard to justify the asking price.
Here's mine, a bit late to the G-Shock game. I decided to get the gold as I wanted something loud and fun for the weekend. Perhaps go for a run with it |
