Anyone struggling with the forced move to the "CASIO WATCHES" app (Android)?

My GBD800 won't automatically sync, and I've had Bluetooth wakelocks out the wazoo since installing it.

Hmm I do notice that starting the app sometimes it crashes before sync'ing (with my GBD-H2000) starts.

Once I restart the app and the sync starts - I think this is much slower (activity log and life log) than with the MOVE app and my GBD-H1000 and I have to keep moving the watch or the sync stops.

But otherwise its "ok"

Anyone got any tips for cleaning their ‘G’s ?
Tried everything in the household cleaning cupboard and the car cleaning cupboard and nothing can get this looking clean. scratchchin




It doesn’t help that although it has quite a bit of company in the watch drawer it gets a lot of wear, usually on my bike, one step away from buying a new strap/case or just an excuse to buy another watch….fancy a yellow one. paperbag
Toothbursh and hand sanitizer that stuff is superb for cleaning.

Great watch and really easy to change straps.

Congrats Chris, loving mine as well.

This guy has an orange strap for his and it looks cool

I have this watch - and I want to put a metal strap on it... but I've not had the time to look into it. I noticed that the strap has a release mech that surely won't work with all straps.... when you say it's easy to change straps, could you elaborate? Is there an adapter I need?

no adapter required.
I got mine from Ali Express to see what they look like.

Just make sure that you have the correct link.
I'm not sure if you are allowed to put links, but if you search

16mm Rubber Strap For Casio G-shock GA2100 GA2110 Men Women Quick Release Sports Waterproof Band Watch Accessories

it should help.

I got most of the colours, but it is the Orange that I put on it mostly when I fancy a change.

I bought this today. Took a while to get hold of one at a decent price. It’s the Bamford edition DW6900.

I bought a few of these watch straps, they discolour/mark very quickly but are super cheap.

I love the look of neg display g-shocks but they are nigh on impossible to tell the time on so kind of defeat the object of wearing a watch!

Although I am personally not prepared to pay the premium for the Bamford branding, I like the colours of these and think they look great.

I like these. What’s a sensible price?

RRP was £149. I paid £167 from stock x. It’s the only time I’ve paid over RRP for anything.

Honestly I think £149 is too much for what it is but this was a treat to myself for achieving something earlier this year and I really like the blue on the underside of the strap.

When they pop up on TZ they seem to sell for about £140ish wink

There isnt really any mark up on these as they keep popping up as available on the gshock website.
