The metal strap loop. Three stars. All Initial Blue will have this.

The back ligt is not the usual green-ish blue. It's white but not as white as the GD-100/GDF-100/etc models. My phone's camera cannot really capture it's colour. It's whiter but not as bright as the GD-100/GDF-100/etc models.

The Bluetooth man animation when it's searching for a connection.

I didn't manage to test out the other features. It requires an iPhone 4S or an iPhone 5. I downloaded the G-Shock App for Android (via jack sparrow means, since it's only available in Japan), and it doesn't seem to work.

I have a feeling Casio is abandoning the Android OS and going full iOS. The Android app hasn't been updated for a long time and the newer Bluetooth G-Shocks (with the suffix of AA) are all iPhone compatible.

I did manage to connect it to my laptop and that's about it. Does nothing at all.

BTW, bonus. smile.gif

I always buy from these two - bitrade and jr-rc but they sell older/vintage models. Not a lot of new ones though. SUPER FAST delivery.

All the other watches I bought are at my local post office! Should be getting plenty of parcels on Monday. smile.gif

The first one was attempted to be sent last Friday but it was a holiday in KL (my office is in KL), which is why it says unable to deliver. I didn't know Pos Laju works on holidays. I hope they resend it over on Monday instead of giving me a card and go collect. Not easy to park at the Post Office...

most of RM200-600 range are basic models, depending on what kind of additional functions it has

those that goes above that are professional models, limited edition and collaboration models

Alright. Pictures! I'll go with the more interesting one first, since the others are quite normal.

This is the very rare Casio G-Shock Seaman (DW-9952GWC-8JR). Yes, Seaman (stop laughing now smile.gif). Basically, it's exactly the same as the G-Shock Frogman DW-9900 but for some reason, Casio rename the Frogman to the Seaman in some markets. This one I have is one of the many W.C.C.S. edition (there were plenty of W.C.C.S. edition for the DW-9900 Frogman).


user posted image
Besides the name change, the other change is the product number. While the usual DW-9900 Frogmans have the product number of DW-9900 (usual ones are 9900 while special editions, like the W.C.C.S. are 9901,9902 and so forth), Seamans have the product number of DW-9950 (same concept applies here. Special editions are 9951, 9952 an so on).

I do not know how many Seaman models are out there but I've seen at least 4. Most of them are W.C.C.S. editions, like most DW-9900 Frogmans you see in the market these days. These don't usually pop up for sale that often. smile.gif

Pictured here with the Seaman is my only DW-9900 Frogman, the Men In White Grey Frogman (DW-9900LG-8JR).

That's the United States Parachute Association (USPA) edition (DW-9100PJ-7). It was BNIB. Not worn before. Haven't seen anyone in this pristine condition. smile.gif Comes with its original resealable blister pack packaging too. smile.gif

oh wow. almost all of the G-Shock watch's strap is made of what? Is there any leather strap but digital clock?

in general G-Shock straps & bezel are made of resin. there are some models that has leather/metal bracelet for its strap, but they are usually special editions/limited releases
