I don't get the hype on the GBD models, saw ppl flexing it in the G-Shock FB group, I guess it's just mainly the FOMO effect sweat.gif

I don't like that gbx and gbd got the hype. Actually that was because of somewhat of a backlash to ga2100 hype. GA2100 was said to be a basic model with crazy price tag. So this model got more feature.
A smarter buy. Some said.

Ga2100 fails for me, last year got cheap price for this but all variant scores really low on legibility, all black is the worst variant.

And this gbx, gbd, only interest me because of vibration alarm. Other features are secondary. I regret not buying timex analogue vibration watch, and g7500 model before. Casio don't make this kind of model anymore. Only got my gd350 with non repeating timer.

For me the basic black GA2100 is nice, but it definitely doesn't worth that reselling price that the scalpers are selling...

And the GBD ones are just because it looks like the GPBR Rangeman, those who can't afford the Rangeman are buying this GBD as 'flexing replacement'...

p/s I am not saying ALL GBD buyers are like but majority that I saw in the FB groups are smile.gif
Yea, I think so too, cos the GPB Rangeman is too expensive even now..

the MIP actually has a positive display.. but on certain settings...
my guess is positive display eats the batt more since it needs to make more pixels white... so its not used for main.

If only the main display is positive. I really liked positive display even programmed some watchface on my pebble to positive display from negative display.

Since when did the local g shock price becomes out of control? I think last year stills reasonable. Nowadays even retailer or big online store that have physical shops has started following scalpers practise.
GBX 100 stills Sully price

Ga2100 also hyped at other country. But it's not that hyped that they still buy it with our relative prices. I still remember why I don't buy it last year when they are very cheap. Very bad legibility for the analog. And extremely bad for the digital parts.

hi @am3, wondering wdym with 'bad legibility' and bad digital?
nice bro, mind to share where you got the stock and the damage? tongue.gif  rclxms.gif

Yes like aplio500 explain. It's a bit hard to see. Depending on your eyesight also but when with good eyesight it is still usually not as good as positive display.

However I do have a few watch with negative display just because I have no choice. Some only comes with negative display.
