A good tip is to use a google reverse image search … don’t need to guess model numbers that way https://www.g-central.com/g-shock-gm-2100-metal-co...
Have not worn this for at least two years, found it in a charity shop window, - G LIDE 5600 boxed with tag and all the paperwork - I do still like it but I just don't wear it and having seen some of the models on here I think I might as well sell it.
Obvious question - is selling on ebay even worth a consideration these days when it comes to watches?
the manual's not very good at all. 
I've had this since I bought it in January 2000 in the airport duty free in Singapore.
SPF40 (Sea Pathfinder) in the unlikely event that a G Shock aficionado hasn't identified it lol!
TBH I'm not a fan. I like Seiko Kinetics personally, but this served a purpose at the time and for some years afterwards.
Now it's not used at all. My mate saw it lying on my bookcase yesterday and told me there are people who collect them, so I thought I might eBay it, then by pure chance I saw this thread when I tapped "What's New " having nothing better to do for half an hour.
It's not perfect. You can maybe see a nick in the plastic right next to the Mode button. That was caused by a Russian electrician jumping down off a bench and landing on my arm (breaking several bones at the same time). It jammed the button but I took it to bits and unjammed it and it works fine. I think that plastic piece is available as a new part but I couldn't be arsed.
I might have replaced the strap at some point, or I might be thinking of a different watch. I honestly don't remember. I do recall changing the batteries, but only once. Probably because I don't use it so the backlight and alarm are never on. When I bought the batteries they came with a new case back gasket, so I put that in as well.
Here's the thing: I didn't realise there are proper enthusiasts for these things. I don't like it much but maybe someone hereabouts would like it enough to make an offer?
Edit: out of curiosity I searched eBay and found a few. Good grief! Some joker in Lithuania reckons his untested watch with stone dead batteries and something wrong with the strap is worth 92-odd quid!
There are a couple in Japan around the 150-160 mark, one of which is missing its caseback screws.
Seriously?
Can the collective fount of wisdom that is PH tell me what it's really worth?
Cheers.

I liked the look of the Android Wear OS G-Shock but don't fancy paying £600 as don't trust Google to not arbitrarily disable the features a couple of years down the line like they did with the Sony and Tag Wear OS watches.
Looks like the official site has a decent sale on at the moment
