Sorry but I think most of the more recent designs are horrendous. That huff one (which I have no idea what huff is) is appalling, and so are these others imo. I have about 7 or 8 but mine are mostly the traditional tough looking / army / aviation type ones. I can’t stand all these mixed colours.

The toughness is going. Probably indicative of the way the world is going. Can’t be macho anymore.

Why can't you be macho and enjoy a bit of colour? Although I do agree some designs are a bit garish

They’re a skateboarding and streetwear outfit so perfect fit. I like the Huf, as I do the yellow and other weirdness. There’s always a place for black with G Shock but it’s nice to have the choice. As for functional toughness, nothing’s changed there smile

So...couldn't resist this one.....



I'm trying not to buy the titanium camo square...this might delay, if not prevent me from doing so.

Loving that red!

Gardening duties today so an opportunity to get this one charged up. It's not often the charge state drops to "M" though, to be fair, it has been a while since it last saw daylight.

The current state of Casio ownership smile thinking of a Gulfmaster or NASA SE square, the squares are just so comfortable.

Any suggestions for something else?

Nice. A bit of a square fan myself.

Maybe GBD-200UU or G-LIDE GBX-100NS would fit in...

Been reading this thread for a while and finally able to post.

Here's my new watch which I got for my birthday yesterday ( I actually got it back in June and with a 35% discount direct from the Casio store online when I got the email to say they were back in stock but have kept it boxed until now)

Love the bright Yellow as most of my watches are either silver bracelets or leather straps.



Got this one for Father's day as well.

Worth putting the power saving mode on if you don't wear it much.

One of those is my daily of choice although I had to get Argos to exchange my last one as it started to mist up, with no damage and only been wet in the car wash bucket. Disappointed in a way but Argos exchanged it without any problems and I got the updated module with optional date format.

The display shuts down automatically anyway, if that's what you mean?

The ps sounds like it’s on. I don’t think the display shuts down usually.

Holiday watch & hunting watch, probably wont wear both at the same time....unless I'm on a hunting holiday rotate

On a side note, does anyone if its possible to change the date format on the GA-2100FR to DD/MM ?
I've had a look on the interweb but can't find anything.

I think I am going to sell my yellow 2100. As much as I love it I just don't think I'll wear it much. :-(

I have the camo one, it got sent by mistake after I ordered an orange and green one. I now have both and have ordered another. I'm thinking or ordering a fourth before the third arrives hehe
