Anyone got this yet?

Keen to see just how big it wears?

This is the first time I've seen a G-Shock that I'd consider owning.

I'll let you know what it's like when it eventually arrives from Spain.... i've got a feeling it'll be far too big for my weedy little arms...

Ooooh look what arrived this morning after posting above

Very pleased with it actually. Not super huge when wearing, smaller than expected. The yellow is subtle rather than bright, in your face.

The light is abysmal. It's like an old 80's Casio light rather than a backlit glow.

Why did you get it from Spain?

[Dan_1981]

It was the cheapest place to get it from - I paid £77 for it I think it was. It's gone back up now to the UK price.

Ok, thanks. Cheapest at the moment seems to be around £100, give or take...

If you are a blue light card holder you get 30% off Gshocks in the Casio shop.

I never bothered getting one until now, finally a good reason! Thanks for the heads up

Oh.

I knew not having a social conscience would bite me in the arse eventually.

Of course don't share the code though as it effects any future deals that blue light is given.

Annoyingly the new sport ones with the heart rate monitors have had their launch postponed til the end of the month

New to me this week and my first G since the late 1990s

My first toe in the water and I'm very happy - I initially got a full metal SKMEI shock for about £12, I was very impressed - its the same size as a square. Then, as we all know how these things progress..... a JDM G-LIDE.

Picked up the blue GW-B5600 today

Same here! Had it for a few days, couldn't resists at £55. Got a black metal conversion set coming from AliExpress. Can't wait!

My finger has been hovering over the gold version for a while.

I've just placed my order. Great deal at £55 even with the £3.95 delivery charge.

Ok, I'm tempted by the yellow Casioak, but I also like the idea of a metal one. The only steel 'kits' I can find have AP-style screws in them, and I'd prefer the 'Casio' & 'G-Shock' wording, as per the original.

Can anyone point me at a suitable solution?

GW-B5600 arrived today. I've not been a fan of 5600 negative displays in the past but for some reason this one is okay. £55 for a solar, atomic, bluetooth gshock is a bargain.
