Have you seen the G-Shock Riseman? Nice watch if you like your gadgets, hard to get hold of though

Got one of these on the way from Amazon. Can't wait to get a play with it.

Anyone have one?

I've got one in amongst my collection of G's.

Very nice watch and the features work very well. I have the "Dragon" riseman with the switchable units of measurment (C/F etc). I think the multiband 6 is only available as "dragon" (named as such due to the nicely etched dragon on the case back).

Nice one, I'll take that as a recommend. It's the multiband 6 I've got on the way, so I'l look for the emblem.

I know this sounds dreadfully childish, but one of the reasons I bought it was to see the pressure change in the cockpit when were at altitude. Lets see if we really do have a cabin alt of 8000ft on the old girl

On a more serious reason, the 'tilt activate' on the backlight is a really cool feature as well, and one of the main reasons I went for it.

I've got a riseman G shock, if anybody is thinking the ambient temperature is a useful feature (I did). Don't bother unless you want to know the temperature of your wrist! It's not accurate unless you take it off.

Thats not really much of a surprise though is it...all the reviews on it say take it off and leave it 5 minutes!

I've just got one of these:



This is my third Waveceptor and second G-Shock solar. It's a bit heavy, but feels solid and well built. I have bought from Tiktox in the past, but this time an ebay seller had a new one for £35 less including free postage!!
I'm well pleased with it.
