Ooh I’m liking that stand!

I have the Fisher Price one as well, love that watch!
Its this one... for all of £17: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221376786565?hash=item3...

I used to keep them in a couple of watch boxes but I like to seem them so this suits me better smile

Brilliant thanks. Quite fancy the white 5 tier one.

Here is my Casio G-Shock GA-B2100-1AER.

I like the chunky asethetic and the fact I can just wear it without caring, it joins a Seiko 5 and a Marloe Haskell in my 'collection'. I'm not usually into big watches, and my wrist is fairly small, but this works I think and find it comfortable. I got BT so it's easier to set up and solar as I think that fits into the role of it being a tough, go-anywhere watch that doesn't need any looking after. Overall I'm really happy, especially for the price.

I have 5 or 6 of the Casioaks but haven’t gotten around to a solar/bluetooth one yet.

Need to change that soon.

I think i am on around 30 G’s now!

Try it on something like a Barton with adaptors, it makes for a really comfortable watch. I love the squares, but now split between them and the oak.

Thanks for the link, just bought the 3 bar stand. Looks great.

I do like the look of those stands, but I think I'd need to buy a few more watches first otherwise it would look depressingly empty.

However, I absolutely love this line from the item description - "Inside is made of durable Engineering" , whatever that means

You’ve inspired me as I’ve not worn my Glide for ages …

The wife has a few that we share but this is my collection of G’s with a few mere Casio imposters!

Will try and find where she stores hers as a few more casioaks and interesting pieces.

Did this arrive? How is the colour in the flesh? They advertise it as beige which doesn't interest me at all, but looks quite pink in that picture.

Definitely not beige, though they do do a beige one so may be that which your seeing?

Very pale pink to an almost white. Its a really nice colour.

Will get an on wrist shot once the missus takes it off.

Think I've found it now, would be interested to see a proper picture though

Heres the on wrist shot. Definitely a subtle baby pink as opposed to a hot pink. I think it’s lovely, especially for £72!

Several other more expensive watches in the collection but the g shock still gets a lot of wrist time! Love mine.

Debating on this instead of a new Apple Watch for tracking swimming and cycling etc. and with BlueLight discount its coming in just under £300 which seems decent value...

Be aware that in general, I’ve discovered I don’t like my neg display ones much. I’ve got a few, and I unconsciously avoid them as just not as nice to use / look at. Even though I’m always drawn to them when purchasing as I like the look.
