I do like a square!

I need to change a few batteries - do you go whole hog, send off to Casio for proper pressure testing or just drop them into a local jeweller?

Just DIY!

I prefer tough solar so not an issue for me.

But DIY - very easy.
Be careful removing O-ring, make sure it's clean and lubed when reassembling.

My Solar squares

What is the reference for the white one?
I am missing white for the summer days.

[LordGrover]

The white one is GW-M5600A-7ER.
Mine's yellowing a bit now, especially the keeper - which is a shame as it used to be 'very' white.
You'll do well to find one though. It's over ten years old and quite sought after in some quarters.

Thanks for prompt reply. Just had a quick look and you’re right. No chance of getting one sadly.

Another new Collaboration out yesterday.







I quite like the main display but would have to change the strap.

Anyone any experience of the G-Shock smart watch

I'm very tempted and at the sale price even more so, I don't wear a smart watch normally but a G-Shock is very useful in my new job where the liklihood of it taking a knock is high.

To be fair I think only 2 of those require intervention

New Huf 20th anniversary edition available today.

Not my sort of thing.

I actually quite like it.

My recent journey with the GA-B2100-1AER was sort of fractious. I bought it on a whim for a holiday, I like watches which define an event. It was a surprise it was bigger than the Pelagos, which is my self imposed limit with my less than Thor like wrists. Worse was it just annoyed me with the fit, too tight, too loose etc It's a great watch, but I was done and willing to sell after two weeks.

Today fitted a Barton strap with their adaptors. The adaptors are actually for squares but they seem to fit. Added the canvas strap and I have to say everything has changed. The adaptors lift the strap, and the strap is far more soft than the standard item.

Looks a bit odd, but is way more comfy and tbh, think I might keep it.

Got to admit the fit of the 2100 isn't great, it tskes some getting used to. But then again I am coming from ultra comfortable watches.

Can I ask what Barton straps fit? I too have picked up a 2100 and the only thing I don't like is the strap its too flimsy and cheap feeling.

Pretty much everything, but they need adaptors (Barton do them as do others).

The composite bracelets for 5610s fit.

This one was from AliExpress, just look on their website.
