From WatchShop.

Use the promo code 'extra20' and it comes in at £127.20 delivered next day. They'll even re-size the bracelet for free if you need it.

That's awesome, I love the case colour... ^^^

This one is a shape I've not seen before, currently circa £30 on eBay with less than a day left:

I have one of those, the gd350. Probably the best negative display I've come across.

I'm feeling myself drawn to one of these:..



Or one of these...



However, I am also pretty keen on getting myself another one of these, because I have it in black, red, and light grey and I want to get dark grey and yellow to "complete" my little set of gym watches...




I bet I end up idiotically buying all three.

After not buying a watch for ages I've ended up buying another square. It's a different colour and module compared to the one I bought on Friday.

I've owned my GW-M5610-1ER and GW-5000-1JF for a few years now and have always fancied the idea of getting another square, seeing those posted above isn't making that itch go away hehe

The only issue is which one. Or two...

Really like the bracelet - it's incredibly light and I find it much more comfortable than the strap. Also wears slightly smaller on my tiny wrists!

Replacing my GWX-5600C-7 which I've just stuck on eBay.
I got one for £120 as well from watchshop.com, its gone back up to £159 now though.

My wrists are too thin for the strap though, it would look stupid with most of the links out.

Will any of the Nato/cloth straps for 5600 series fit this does anybody know?

Ah I just found the link for the bracelet adjustments, I didn't realise they did that. Its free at Goldsmiths store as well, I suppose its worth a shot.

Removing the links is dead easy if you've got the right tool, they can be cheap too https://www.amazon.co.uk/Watch-Repair-Tool-TOOGOO-...

Most of the strap kits come with the tool and extra pins, none show this watch code though.

5600 series all look the same to me but I guess some are different.

My GW-B5600BC-1ER didn't come with any tools but none of my watches ever have apart from my speedmaster pro.

I like the look of this, but I wonder if the resin / rubberised case might be a bit of a "fluff trap" in the same way that some rubbery phone cases can be... Anyone got any first hand experience of this model? (I can only find it to ship in from the US)

Anyone have a g shock steel and skinny wrists?

This is what my gear S3 looks like with 46mm case. The g shock is 52 so wondering if it will look ridiculous?



This is what I fancy:

Very nice. Where did you get the 2100 from? I can't find the all black one in stock anywhere.

My friend was sending her son back to UK for boarding school and I managed to get him to bring one from HK. I actually had to pay a premium for it at the time (oct 2019) and it was the last one in shop. Still, it was still less than the £150 that most were asking for it on Ebay.

If you are still after one, this is the cheapest place I have found with a reasonable delivery time:

Those G-Shocks wear very big. I have 7.5" wrists & they are too big for me.

Just measured mine, 6.75". Looks like I'll have to find an alternative. frown
