Thanks regarding the selection, I’m afraid to tell you what i got the Seiko for, it was another to good to be real deal at £422!

In The Maldives a place called Dreamland. https://dreamland.com.mv/

Shame to be leaving, but missing the kids, cats and my ring doorbell is offline for some reason so haven’t been able to keep track of progress on the pond.

I fancy picking up a g shock for the rotation, just a relatively cheap one for more casual stuff and will probably be worn on holiday later in the year. Not looking to spend more than £100 really, I've looked at the 2100 so far but looking for some recommendations, no real preference on colours but nothing too bright.

Thank you, there do seem to be a few places with discount codes so shouldn't be too hard to source and looks good value.

The colours on that go with my tattoo so found one on watch shop and used a discount code, £82 and here by Wednesday so happy with that. Thanks for the recommendation.

Now to ensure I don't go further down a rabbit hole with unnecessary purchases...

Are the metal cases on the 2100 series interchangeable with the regular versions?

I would need to to buy both, but a blue 2100 solar/bluetooth with metal case is quite tempting for me!

I really don’t need yet another G shock but that particular model is proving difficult to resist…

Roll on August!

I can’t stop wearing this since I got it 6 weeks ago! Love it.

I just got one of these and love it.

Anyone able to suggest a good place for an alternative strap.
Got the urge to mix it up some,
I'd be interested in a metal bracelet as I don't get on with rubber straps.

Headsup that John Lewis currently have 20% off the watch and it's showing as 3 left in stock currently.

I took a gamble and got a converter designed for the DW5600 which fits the GM100 really well and allows the use of 22mm straps.




I'm going to get a more chunky 22mm bracelet so it's the same thickness as the converter so it looks more OEM.

Anyone got a G-Lide GBX-100 - what do you think?

I have a GW-M5610 and its great, saw the GBX-100 by chance and it looks nice. I have no need for the Tide function but i think the display is quirky.

Go for it? Yay or nay?

Has arrived and I’m smitten! It’s a more high tech version of the casioak which is always accurate and won’t ever need a new battery for a very long time of ever. Also you can finally set the date format to DD/MM.

Was disappointed at the BT instead of Atomic, but the sync with the phone app works perfectly and being able to adjust all the settings from the app is much easier than using the watch itself.

The yellow colour is fantastic and much much nicer than the pastel yellow from the initial launch a few years ago.

All in for £125 (managed to get the 10% off) I’m very happy, and can see that they are already going for 2x rrp on the ‘bay…

Very very nice and a bargain at that price. Makes my wonder why people are desperate to get a MoonSwatch when this is superior in every way.

Definitely getting one when they restock. But I think I’ll keep the date as MMDD - I’m just used to interpreting it that way when looking at a g shock…

How did you get 10% off btw?
