Case came in for my GA2100. Rather pissed got hit with tax, not so much the £6 VAT but the £8 handling charge.
Would say it would look better on the version with white hands and detail rather than my all black one.

Anyone planning on picking up the new smart watch at end of the month?
On paper it does everything I need, GPS, Solar, can take rough dusty work environments, world clock. I'm worried it will just be a bit flaky. Unless its seemless and connects well I won't be interested. Its a straight choice between this and iwatch with a chunky protective case.

Will get some pics up when it arrives, hopefully mid next week! Will also be taking it straight out for a run, on a route I know well so can compare the watch with the app I normally useW201_190e said:

Atomic time. My gw7900 usually auto updates the time overnight at about 2am. This gw5600 doesn't seem to pickup the radio signal.
have you tried a window sill, in a room pointing towards Carlisle (ie the far North West of England)The transmitter is in Anthorn now, not Rugby.
I get a good signal, but I am 20 miles away.

Mine arrived early from Amazon today, for £55 it's a great bit of kit. And it's already back up to £80 plus on Amazon again. Pretty chuffed!
Another happy customer here! Picked up for £55 at Argos when I saw the original post, ordered a black metal bezel off AliExpress for £20, arrived and fitted today! Voila, a Metal G for £75...really pleased with it
Thanks to the OP for the tip-off

New GBD H1000 has arrived! First impressions are that I love it, it is big but its not heavy and is very comfortable.
The only thing I don't like is you have to press the mode button 7 times to get to messages to be able to read them, but as it wasn't what I bought the watch for its not too much of a bother, but would have been good if there was a way to shortcut to the screen.
Seems to link up well with the app, its nice to be able to set it up through a phone rather than having to go through all the menus.
All in all chuffed to bits, I'm sure the red won't be to everyones taste but I already have stainless steel and black Gs, and always wanted a red one

Will you use it as a workout watch ? If so have you played with the app from a tracking perspective ??

Looks great ! Am expecting mine next week. Ordered the grey with red accents but might change for the white / green one.

Using it for running is the primary use for it, although was also an excuse to get one Will you use it as a workout watch ? If so have you played with the app from a tracking perspective ??
I havent done any tracking yet but will be running a regular route tomorrow so will see how close it is to what I have been using and let you know! I have to admit I was torn between red and the grey, I think the grey/red looks really nice, although the white/green is nice too! Its a hard decision, especially when they aren't cheap

Issue I have is I cannot read the screen without my glasses and don't run in glasses
Cannot wait to get the "G". My reasoning around colour choice was grey with red I could wear anytime whereas the white is more a training watch and was not sure if the white would get dirty

The screen is really good on these, I have been mostly wearing one with the negative display which I have got used to so this seems incredibly vibrant in comparison! I did think I would just use mine for training but actually I like it so much I can see myself wearing it most of the time nowI'm using a tiny Garmin Vivo(something) for tracking my running at the moment.

The H1000 was pretty accurate at tracking distance, was within around .2 km of what my usual phone app says, so really happy with that! It didn't log VO2 max, or recovery times, I'm guessing I ned to do something to activate that. One major criticism I have is that the instructions are really basic and you need to try and work it out yourself!
