Sporting my new #GShock GA-V01 today
Freaking huge
Objectively hideous
Hard to read
Wife pretends not to know me when I wear it
But my inner #millennial could not pass up the #y2k aesthetic
Casio is so eccentric. Do you see this little irregularity that looks like a manufacturing defect? It's not. That's the way it is on every 6900. The big dial just didn't fit. They needed the space.
Suche nach einer schlichten digitalen Armbanduhr
Die Suche nach einer digitalen Armbanduhr ist echt schwer geworden. Ich merke, wie ich nicht mehr die Zielgruppe bin.

Sitting here waiting to place an order for a Gshock watch. Their shopping cart / checkout hasn't worked, either on my computer or phone, in the five days that I've been trying. I can't be the only one having issues, even if it's just the Canadian store.
I have a watch that is black, is shock resistant, and has a compass. In certain pockets of the US, they would felate themselves by calling it a “tactical watch,” just like they would call anything from a neck warmer to a laptop sleeve “tactical” if it were black. A lot of people who wouldn’t know how to start a fire and probably haven’t walked a mile all at once — they nonetheless need as much “tactical” gear as they can get.
The 6900 is the only #Gshock that I want that I haven't acquired. Sadly, the Gshock Canada site is flaky to the point where I think its security is compromised, so I have a lot of time to decide on a model.
Leaning toward boring black. I like the grey, but I'm not a fan of negative displays. Love the beige-white one, but the Shiba gimmick is a little much. It's not even a good kind of dog. Their necks are too big for their legs. The balance is all wrong. Mea culpa to my J friends. :)
If you just think of gshocks as colorful bracelets, you’ll have a better appreciation of what they’re doing these days.
Very interesting design notes. A bit weird — with the quirky translation, but it appeals to geeks like me.
Whoa. Bold new G-shock design. And basically legible! Now just price it the old way and I'm in.
... A 2/4

0- Do have one "automatic" mechanical watch ... another story.
1- Next was #CitizenWatch #EcoDrive #AP0430_51L bought c 1999. After ~19 years, changed to one -- Citizen #BN0198_56H -- with larger hands & dial so that could tell the time easily sans glasses.
I'm not a watch collector but I've always enjoyed cheap resin banded watches, especially #casio and #timex stuff. More recently I have been learning about the more fancy #gshock watches and picked up my first last year. Found this page documenting a test mode for the watches. Really neat: https://shockbase.org/watches/watch_tests.php
