• Happy G-Shock Thursday. I don’t surf but this is what the spring tide is doing at Newquay, apparently.

  • That looks good. Seems much more suffistikated than the standard model. Is it surfer specific? (I think I remember it being so. Really cool if so. Also great colour!)

  • Yeah, it’s a G-Lide so does tide stuff for surfers. It also has activity tracking, step tracking etc, and Bluetooth link to the Move app for notifications (I’ve not tried this as the app won’t load for me, dunno why). It also has a vibration module for alerts.

    It was a totally new model for last year. The module and screen is new, it’s a full dot matrix type with much improved contrast, it’s a bit like a paperwhite kindle but I don’t think it’s MIP - maybe tho. But it means it can have full on menus and stuff, the UI is pretty sophisticated, more like a smartwatch.

    The black and white ones are still being made but for some reason they discontinued this colour after only a few months.
