I was confused between GBD-200 and GBD-300….finally got GBD-300

Needed a day of special session of learning about the watch

Let's say it's the apocalypse. Radio towers and communications are down. Nothing works. No power, except small pockets of civilization with backup generators. Often hailed as the apocalypse watch is the M5610U. How would it sync its time via low-frequency radio signals from atomic clock transmitters, if they aren't powered?

Point is: Isn't the DW-5600 the real apocalypse watch?

Finally negative screen that is visible, love it

My jumping spider Arch deserves to be the ambassador for baby G 🥹 G shock please?

Been my daily for a year now. I'd recommend buying it 😊

I was made to believe that getting these two Gs would set you up for life.

In comes the BX5600 negative MIP and floods all over the sub, and FOMO is hitting me like a truck. My 2026 watch budget has dried up.

I hate it here.

I’ve been going back and forth on this, so I figured I’d ask here. Explaining the differences to my wife has been futile.

I work in a gym and my my life basically revolves around fitness. I’m looking for a tough daily beater that that can survive the environment.

MIPs is a must for me. I need something I can easily read from different angles since my hands aren’t always free when I need to check the time.

The gbd200 is really appealing. I already have a Garmin Cirqa strap so I don’t really need the extra fitness features, but I love the slightly overbuilt retro-modern look. I can also get one locally for about $120.

The 5600 is the one that keeps pulling me back. It has the MIP display plus Tough Solar/Multiband 6, and I think it would work equally well in and out of the gym. I’m also intrigued by the fact that this thing could go 20 years without ever needing to be opened or serviced. The catch is I haven’t seen one in person, and it’s about $165 here.

I know some of you will probably say BX5600, no question, but I’ve actually seen the GBD-200 in person and really like how it looks on the wrist.

For anyone who’s worn both: Is the BX5600 worth the extra $45? I’m so split on this one.

The new "blue sapphire" full metal g GMW-B5000SB-1A2 appears to be using mineral glass...

sapphire dimples but no saphhire glass for you

A couple of days of research and looking on here for opinions and this was the one I decided on for my first.
Already itching to just get any and every G-Shock I can and keep collecting 😩😂

GWM-5610u (duh). Tiz a very nice watch, been wearing it about a month. My old one had a compass on it which was handy, but I accidentally melted that one on an incandescent light bulb trying to charge it.

I’m going into the army though, so I wouldn’t have been able to use it in basic anyways, so this one seemed like the best option based on my limited knowledge of Gshocks as well as some Youtube, as my screen addicted self does when debating buying something.

I really like the multiband 6, which I’d never had on a watch before, as well as the solar. A lot more accurate than the mechanical ones I’d been wearing.

I do dislike that I can’t use the light while adjusting the timer, since I work out and run at night usually, and the alarm is quiet, but besides that I am very satisfied with my purchase. ;)

A video for those that are curious how the backlight looks. I like that it fades in and out smoothly

Ever since I found this Reddit page, i have been getting out of hand. Please help…. My wallet will appreciate it.. 😅😅

GW-6900U just arrived from Japan! Loving it so far but the strap is a bit too hard. Any ideas what I can do with it?

Me personally I love my reliable DW5600!!!
