Strangely drawn to the Royal Navy collaboration. A bit pricey but sorely tempted...

I like that, I have a mudmaster, which is cool, but prefer the analog dials here.

This new Mudmaster popped up on my Instagram page this morning

https://g-shock.co.uk/gwg-2000tlc-1aer

It seems pricey, especially as I can get the other Mudmasters with a voucher code for a decent discount but I'm very tempted, I'm applying for a new job where a G-Shock will be essential really so if I get the job I'm tempted to treat myself in celebration

I like the new one but I got the previous version for around £250. It’s nice, but….

With the price hikes for what Casio perceive to be their premium models I’ve kind of gone off the G-SHOCK brand. Sadly.

Even debated selling off my collection - just need to figure which watch goes with which box and tin and go from there.

Not sure I follow the logic to be honest.

Sure, they've raised their top of the range stuff, but the vast majority of G-Shocks are still very reasonably priced for the quality you're getting.

I think I'm less likely to buy but I'd not sell what I have

It hasn’t taken particularly long for me to develop a serious fondness for Gs.

It all started with a triple black stealthy GA2100 (a starting point for many, I suspect). A wonderful birthday gift.

I now have eight of the blighters, most recently the Rangeman GW-9400, also in blackout flavour. Chunky but interesting with the triple sensor, got it for an excellent price new.

I intend to sell my black ‘n white GA2100 this year as it’s not getting worn.

You can win a Gshock pelican case with 3 watches in it... worth a go!

Having recently ummed and arhhed over a watch, they are now sold out. No more to be made, it was about £995. Available only via eBay new for £2000 which is quite a mark up. I’m giving it a pass sadly.

Nightmare! Which one was it, out of curiosity?

I've got a mint MTG S1000D that I'm going to sell. Any ideas what the second hand values are and where is a good place to sell.
(Not Ebay-won't touch it with a barge pole)

2100 "Virtual World" arrived yesterday -



Not convinced, tbh. I really wish the colours were more vivid. And yes, I know the green jumper doesn't go with the watch!

I've got mine on today. Had it sinc launch pretty much. I really like it, but then I see it as an calmer version of the bright red one and a slight difference to the all black one I have.

I do see some of the custom ones available through third parties and get tempted. Some belters with very vivid colours.

I like this one though I'm not sure it's value for money

For £475 on a watch that can be had for circa £70-100, I'd want a better finish than this -

yeah, when I looked a while back there seemed more companies doing it and some of them looked really good and were about £300

Looks like we’re all wearing the same model today!
