Ordered my first G-Shock, a GA-2100-1AER.
Still irrationally indecisive over the purchase as I keep thinking I should get a 5600 as I've always like the utility without being too tactical. But the Casioak seems to wear a bit smaller, is better looking (to me), and was cheap. But I worry about how legible it is, and have never quite got why you'd want a G-Shock with analogue hands.
I think a big part is that I was looking at the all black DW-5600BB-1ER as it's quite cheap from Jura and 2nd hand on ebay.
But I'm not sure how legible it will be, and it's a bit low on features... which doesn't seem very G-Shock. Which then leads me to the GW-M5610-1ER with radio and tough solar.
But then as a % that's significantly more than the Casioak, and the price is what motivated the purchase as I need to be a bit more prudent right now....
... so I just decided to get the Casioak.
Sorry for the brainfart. Just nice to have somewhere where you can unload this dull shit that would make everyone else walk out the room.
