I am a G-Shock Owner Once Again. My Kingdom for a horse if anyone can guess the Model.
There are photos on me site, 'cause this is not the second but the third time I've owned this particular G.

We'll see if it sticks this time...

You bought a vibrator?!?  (n/t)

Ahhhh.. Crikey, I guess I did at that!  (n/t)

GW5600?
Keep it. They are great beaters, dive watches, and time references. If yours is like mine, a fresh battery will last 8+ years, so they're no hassle either.

Nope. See below. A later generation, sort of halfway between..
..the Classic G-Shock planform of the GW5600...


..and the more Space-Age Look of something like..


..my departed Tough Solar Wave-Ceptor G. A good compromise, for me. I even like the touch of gold, and the champagne background of the LCD.

Congrats Ricky. G-Shocks are great watches. (n/t)

Re: Mind you, I really thought Hans would get it.
I had to make a choice: spend time searching for some plastic object that had more owners than the number of times some people change their underwear on a monthly basis, or walk the dogs. Guess what? The dogs won!

If you would have been talking about Rolex, Tudor, Mido or something else decent, I would have left the dogs standing in the hallway with their legs crossed a bit longer though!

Your priorities are straight!

Given the choice of not moppin' up dog widdlin's or guessing plastic watches.. well, I'll take the former every time.

Re: My Kingdom for a horse if anyone can guess the Model.
I have no clue whatsoever! In general, I can't relate to G-Shocks... just a matter of taste, I guess. I have seen a few G's I didn't dislike though, namely the analog / digital combo's.

I don't mind having plastic watches at all - I own a few. No attitude here. They're very practical, and the watch I wear the most falls into the 'Plastic Digi' category (Casio W-800). As long as the price is below $20 shipped, it's fine with me.

See, neither can I!

Indeed, I've become known as something of a Hater in Certain Circles, I fear. I've owned maybe a half-dozen over the years, and I inevitably flip 'em, faster'n P12 flips a BCD.

For me it's a simple matter of fit and comfort. I want to like G's for their rugged nature and style, I really do.

But I've never run across one that really fit me. 'bout half the time, the strap's just too short. But even the XL models that give me enough "tail" fail to work, as well. There's never a hole at the right place, you know? I can get either a too-tight fit that pinches me wrist, or a floppy fit that slides all around. Nothing in between.

Not until I added the Tom Swift Diver Deployant^® , at least! (see me reply to Reto, below)

Phhhhhhhht! No sissy ana-digi G's for me! No, I'm gonna wear a G-Shock, it's gonna be all digital, baby!

Funny you should say that. This G was originally donated to Ricky Lee's Home For Wayward Wristwatches, so I had zero in it. Now, I sold it for $20, as I recall, that first time. Thing is, ol' boy I sold it to found it to be entirely too big. He brought it back about a week later and swapped it on a more conventional ~ 38mm quartz, field-watch kinda thing. The second fellow I sold it to, he had it something like a year. Long story short, he was over last night & said that he hardly ever wears the G. Allowed that he really would rather have a dressier watch, something in gold. He came to the right guy!

Third time's a charm, maybe?  (n/t)

Call me a Dreamer, but I really think it just might be.
And it all comes down to one simple thing: a deployant. Yep, I shamelessly robbed this deployant..

..off the #1 Marine Gear AMW-320D. My reasoning was that it works Grrrrrrrrr8 on the OEM resin Marine Gear Strap, and..

..the problems it solved there are the same as the problems that needed solvin' wi' The .

Had to mod the G's strap lightly (very lightly!) but, sure enough, it feels natural and right to me in a way no G-Shock ever before has.
