QUOTE(livinginsin @ Sep 22 2014, 08:39 PM) hello guys..just wanted to ask something.. The tough solar on a G-Shock is good. Even without sunlight, it'll last for 6 months to 2 years, depending on model and usage.im going to get a G9300-1 soon.. so i just wanted to ask if the tough solar on g shock is good enough? will it run out of battery pretty quick? i would say i use stopwatch quite often.. I'm more concerned about your usage. The G9300 Mudman has VERY hard buttons. It won't be the best stopwatch on a watch. |

QUOTE(PedangGila @ Sep 23 2014, 06:06 AM) I look for them in lelong.my. It's the best site to compare local prices . So far Gpeople got the best price but seller warranty only, meaning you only can refer to him/her for warranty claim. You'll pay RM100-150 more for local (Marco) warranted Gshock. Don't care about warranty. Really. It's not something that will break down easily, even with REALLY rough usage. If it breaks down with rough usage, I doubt you'll be able to claim warranty also.All my G-Shocks, the last thing I worry about is the warranty. |

QUOTE(livinginsin @ Sep 23 2014, 10:51 AM) Hello..thanks alot for replying.. Yes I have one. Never had that problem.this would be my first gshock and it will stay with me for many years since im not a collector/frequent changer i tried the watch before but didnt buy it as i was surveying around.. yes i do agree the button is a bit hard..but i think acceptable for me.. do u own this model? somehow i read in other forum that it has issue where the screen goes blank and when it wake up it resets everything http://forums.watchuseek.com/f17/mudman-g9...ery-631792.html hmm...maybe its just so happen to him only? Read through the whole thread and it seems like a widespread problem. Anyway, why the Mudman? Is there a specific function you want? Maybe there is something else we can recommend. |

QUOTE(livinginsin @ Sep 23 2014, 01:00 PM) Yes I saw other people in the forum also got this problem.. Not really specific function.. I wanted to find a watch that would last me for years.. Those colorful gshock might not be suitable for my daily use.. And since I use stopwatch quite often, a digital one would suit me better.. And I wanted to have the tough solar features.. Initially I like the 8900 series but after trying it I feel it doesn't look nice on my wrist.. Hence I saw the g9300 and feel it looks nice and seems tough.. I engage in outdoor activities quite often.. So I think this might suit me well .. QUOTE(livinginsin @ Sep 23 2014, 09:17 PM) Hello guys..just need some opinion here..which one nicer le? blue or black..just wanna know opinion.. All watches last for years if not used roughly. G-Shocks especially. Most of the models are tough solar features.[attachmentid=4145433] g9300nv-2 [attachmentid=4145435] g9300gb My take on the G-9300 Mudman:- Pros: - One of THE MOST comfortable G-Shocks I've worn - Compass/Thermometer features - The usual G-Shock features i.e. shock resist, water resist etc Cons: - Very hard to press button - The digits are REALLY hard to read for both the models you selected because of its negative display. More often than not it takes me at least 2-3 seconds to tell the time. Why? Because I have to really angle it towards a light source to see the digits. At least 10 seconds to read the moonphase and the small dial on the top left, even with EL switched on! So yeah, my suggestion is that if you don't really mind the very hard to press buttons, get one that has a normal display. If not, get another model.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Sep 26 2014, 11:57 AM) for the 9300 mudman, are u saying the negative display buttons are harder to press than the normal display? I'm saying the 9300 Mudmans in general have very hard buttons. regardless of positive or negative display.i only have the normal display, and its not really that hard...harder than normal...but still softer than the 9000 mudman. but yea, get the normal display mudman... Yes, that's what I said, harder than most models. |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Sep 26 2014, 12:08 PM) since outdoors, why not get ABC model like rangeman or gulfmaster? I guess cost is a factor here.but rangeman the length is huge...while gulfmaster is an acquired taste. cheaper there is of cos one of the newer protreks with v3 sensor, PRG270 rm400-500+ only...similar module as rangeman with ABC and sunrise/sunset times. but i find the barometer kinda useless for predicting weather here...the altimeter and compass are decent enough... another new protrek thats quite sexy is the PRW6000...but better wait for non-atomic version... Furthermore, Protreks are not G-Shocks, sensors are there but not the protection. |

QUOTE(livinginsin @ Sep 27 2014, 01:00 PM) Hello guys, No problems. Glad to be of assistance. finally i have bought the first g-shock in my life..lol i have chosen G9300NV-2 why this model 1) display, between G9300GB and G9300NV-2, i find it a little more difficult to read on GB..not sure why, maybe because all black.. so immediately i have eliminate the gb from my list. and its down to G9300-1 and G9300NV-2 2) i did go to shop to compare both watch on my wrist. both looks great but i just find that blue stands out a little more..not too colorful but acceptable.. i like the blue details better.. 3) buttons, hard but still i can live with that.. this is my first, and wont be my last g-shock though it will stay with me for a long time.. how i feel about g-shock 1) feels solid, feels tough.. 2) looking around g-shock just makes u feel like buying them all..lol 3) features wise is good imo and now i can understand better why people collect g-shock.. ^^ anyway , would really like to thank those that gives me suggestion and advise..though i may not follow your advise but i find it really helpful. people in this forum is great..especially @lokgotz and heres a pic of my new g-shock and of course thanks to her im wearing this [attachmentid=4149674] |

QUOTE(sonic_sphere @ Sep 30 2014, 03:13 PM) Yeah, I know that... But what I mean is, until now, there still no news about it saying that it have been reached to the user who preorder it... Even if I want to get it from ebay or something, I have to wait (until dunno when) because the seller still didn't get the stock in hand... While during the preorder it stated that it will be distributed latest by the end of September. It arrived on those who preordered at the end of September. I started seeing people posting pictures online on Monday (29th Sept). So yeah, end of September is accurate.Your seller might not have preordered from Casio/Bandai directly. He/She might be a second/third/fourth tier reseller, which explains the longer wait. It was sold out hours after it's announced (not 2 days as stated above), so I doubt your seller got it from them direct, unless he has super strong "cables".

QUOTE(hazril @ Oct 29 2014, 10:24 AM) Ah...This is the most common problem for GD-100. At least 7 out of 10 people I know with GD-100 suffered this. Most of my friends don't bother fixing it because the cost is as high as a new GD-100 itself. If you still have warranty, then send for RMA. If not, Just buy another one. |

QUOTE(hazril @ Oct 29 2014, 01:44 PM) no more warranty bro...this is my wedding gift so i prefer to get it fix...where can i send my watch for repairs? I understand. You can send it back to MarcoMarco. I asked for mine to be repaired some time back and I got a verbal quote of "Around RM250". Not too sure how accurate is that. Another alternative is to buy another one exactly like it and just replace the whole module yourself. Then keep the band and bezel as spare. Won't be cheaper but the cost should be around there. |

QUOTE(celicaizpower @ Oct 29 2014, 02:00 PM) Hi Guys, I doubt you can sell it at RM500. Maybe RM300 or so, considering eBay is selling at USD110 to USD140 or so. Furthermore, eBay prices are usually marked up. (Source)Quick question, where can I sell my good condition G-Shock G8100-1 (Black) & get the best price out of it? and what is the estimated price I can sell it for now? I remember buying it close to RM 500 some time ago... Watch comes with everything + the original box. 100% Genuine. I know I can sell at Mudah, but not many people appreciate the watch there... I would prefer if I can sell it to someone who appreciates the watch G-Shock G8100-1 ![]() If the price is right, there are buyers for the G8100. If I'm you, I'll keep it. It's a unique G-Shock. Kinda rare but not too hard to get. Kinda "vintage-y" but not really an old model. If I see someone on the streets wearing one, I'll glance twice because it's a nice and unique piece and pretty different from the 6900s that most people wear. Collectors will appreciate it. QUOTE(aliqueamyrei @ Oct 29 2014, 02:04 PM) Guys I heard Tough Solar series got problems. True? Plan to get GR8900 series. Or should I just go with GDX6900? What problem?This post has been edited by lokgotz: Oct 29 2014, 03:04 PM |

Wow. This thread is picking up steam eh? Plenty of new collectors? The G-Shock scene these days is more of a resellers market than a collectors market. It was more exciting a few years back (check back V2 and V1 of this thread).
I've slowed down a bit on my collecting. Nothing from the recent releases catches my eyes (thank God). I still have a few from the older releases I want though. Let's see if I can get them before CNY. |

QUOTE(ahnee92 @ Feb 4 2015, 07:15 AM) come share bro, your collection I avoid GD-100s like a plague. The module is prone to this problem where the digits on the screen disappears. I have one that is like that and I think I read one forummer here in this thread that had the same problem. In fact, there are always a few units up for sale on eBay that suffers from this problem and being sold for parts. It's quite a widespread problem and I've seen at least 5 among my friends that suffers the same problem.finally god of Gs appear, i did read thru all the previous comments before I started my gs collection, still looking forward to your collection model bro, do u owned any gd100 or this model DW5600EG-9V? I only have one GD-100 currently and it's the Irman Hilmi x G-Shock (GD-100-1AKL). The other ones I had were either given to people as presents or sold. With regards to DW-5600s, I only have two, the DW-5600BB-1 and the DW-5600SG-7. I prefer the 5000 series when it comes to squares. |

QUOTE(ahnee92 @ Feb 4 2015, 12:01 PM) i see, i guess i just avoid gd100 then, was attracted by the design and the 7 years battery life, as for 5600 series, the one i'm looking for is come with gold buckle, gold button, and a yellowish display (which quite ignore, look old) btw, may i knw most of yr Gs is made from china or thailand? marco warranty is made from thailand? QUOTE(Everdying @ Feb 4 2015, 12:09 PM) marco is marco. There you go. Your answer. doesnt matter thailand china japan or wherever its made as long as marco brings it in. With regards to where the watch is made from, it depends a lot on the model. Some are predominantly made in China while the others are from Thailand. Most of the higher end ones are from Japan. |

QUOTE(Everdying @ Feb 4 2015, 01:14 PM) my 9300 mudman made in japan. Yeah. Production of a few models were moved to Japan when Thailand was flooded in 2010/2011 (can't remember which year exactly). The GA110 Hyper Colours series were one of them, which is why it was scalped like mad back then. When the flood receded, production moved back to Thailand, causing the GA110 Hyper Colours' prices to drop. seems mine was made when thailand got flooded, so all production temporarily shifted back to japan. FYI, Frogmans are all made in Japan. This post has been edited by lokgotz: Feb 4 2015, 02:28 PM |

QUOTE(ahnee92 @ Feb 5 2015, 06:28 PM) A few things:- The asymmetrical design - Titanium - VERY WELL constructed - Screw back case - Weight - Much tougher than most, if not all, G-Shocks (for eg. the strap buckle cannot be opened by using a sharp opening tool like the other G-Shocks. It has to be pried opened. That's how tough Casio made it.) - The only ISO 6425-compliant G-Shock (although I don't dive) - The best of all is that there aren't too many Frogmans around and their releases are not as often as the other models. This means I don't have to spend too much for it. Try holding a Rangeman (IMO, one of toughest G-Shocks) on one hand and a Frogman on the other. You'll feel the difference in weight and construction. It's a personal preference but I much prefer a heavy watch than a light one. It feels better. This post has been edited by lokgotz: Feb 7 2015, 12:09 AM |
