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.

Such a great colour, didn’t realise it had all-the-toys too.

Really like that. I bought the OG G-Lide (GLX-5600, white) about 10 years ago and really hammered it. I took that watch on pretty much every holiday for years and then on a trip to Madagascar the strap got sliced up by some coral (as did most of my arm) after a kitesurfing mishap. It also stained a rusty red, some of that may have been actual rust but mostly from the rich, red soil it got covered in after multiple MTB crashes... it was a painful holiday!
Anyway, I brought it back to life a few weeks ago with a new black bezel and strap, I think I posted it last week but here it is again, old pic as I don't have it with me.
Is the black GBX-100 in stock anywhere in the UK? Initial couple of searches have proved fruitless so hoping someone might have a source as would quite like to add it to the collection, and the tide info is actually quite handy when I kitesurf!

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!)
