QUOTE(gnoy @ Aug 2 2016, 05:24 PM) hi Pros, Based on your experience what is the estimated replacement cost for bezel and band for a G-Shock Model 5600MS? I went to G-Factory and they quoted me RM100 to replace both (includes shipping fee!), honestly i was expecting the fee to be higher. Could this be a fake strap / bezel replacement or this is the standard price? Thanks. i didnt know u could still order the MS bezel. but rm100 sounds decent. and the obvious answer here is to also ask marco for a quote.

QUOTE(jun_ng_1208 @ Aug 1 2016, 11:21 AM) Any G Steel owner here had the issue with the steel band making squeaky noises? I believe the noise comes from the joints between the watch and the band  i never noticed any squeaky noises from mine before. maybe today i wear and see if i can notice.

QUOTE(jun_ng_1208 @ Aug 3 2016, 10:23 AM) The typical couple editions are GA-110 and BGA-110, the most common ones I saw being the GB color scheme.  You can google G Shock couple watch and see the images for ideas  It's not super loud but I can hear it like 'zit zit zit' kinda sound  I still haven't got the chance to order the resin band from Marco...the downside of working in normal office hours  no squeak on mine. i hold by the case and swing the bracelet or other way round also silent.

QUOTE(radi0head @ Aug 9 2016, 08:08 PM) Is Rangeman a good buy ? Hehe... Or go for the legendary Frogman ? Though, Frogman got less functions as compared to Rangeman... In dilemma in choosing...  imo frogman only for investment. rangeman better for normal wear.

QUOTE(titan @ Aug 10 2016, 03:29 PM) oh yea. a LYN seller selling new for rm550 and selling the other model DW 6900BB for rm599.. which would you pick of the two? neither. but if have to choose then 6900, cos 5600 too small.

QUOTE(radi0head @ Aug 11 2016, 08:40 AM) true also. thx for your comment. rangeman more practical as all functions can be use on daily wear but frogman much more limited and more for the 'look' only. moreover, more expensive too if price plays a deciding factor... thx again... good price. original marco set ? online or physical store ? Looks like you clean it with some kind of 'chemical' hence all the marks on the bezel as well. for the stains, am sure also that there's some kind of liquid were on the screen and you did not clean it off immediately and it had eat into screen already...  i think those marks are cos its not a 5600BB. looks like a 5600SL.

QUOTE(juniorsia @ Aug 11 2016, 09:30 AM) Yes, it's a 5600SL Sorry, got the model wrong in the first place But, why is it 5600SL having those marks?  how i know? maybe u eat hokkien mee or something and the oil splash on it?  i think u try scrubbing with toothpaste, if still cannot...then best option is remove the bezel and try harder substances.

QUOTE(jun_ng_1208 @ Aug 12 2016, 09:55 AM) I guess the price differs according to model, the G Steel GST-S110 that I bought is RM 1.3k at G Factory but RM 999 at Impulse  the bracelet model is rm1480 at gfactory... go other places apart from gfactory can get 20% off the marco price so rm1180.

QUOTE(am3 @ Aug 13 2016, 09:37 PM) I used to have a gd350b but it doesn't have an auto repeat timer so it's no go. Right now using the black reverse display timex expedition shock xl with vibration function. But the gd350 reverse display is much better and more legible even though smaller than the timex. 3 years after gd350 lainched, casio still don't have a good vibration watch with auto repeat timer function? The new Bluetooth one does it have the function? i think there are casios non-gshock that have vibration and repeat timer. the timex negative display not bad also, definitely better than most gshocks also. gshock Bluetooth better dont buy, if like previous ones, when new Bluetooth / android version come out... the watch becomes useless and it needs a whole new module change to work again.

QUOTE(am3 @ Aug 15 2016, 03:02 PM) I I've been searching for a current non g shock casio model but can't find one. W735h and w736h don't have repeat timer. The timex negative display maybe better than most g shock. But the gd350 negative display has excellent contrast with the yellowish golden lcd. The timex is greenish. If they use the usual white or silverish display it would be easier to see. I want to get the positive display but can't make myself wear that green watch i guess u have to look for older models, there used to be a gshock with those functions before also. i have the gd350 positive, and its a very dark grey... not green. prefer it over the negative.

QUOTE(am3 @ Aug 15 2016, 04:01 PM) Yeah need to get older model. But a bit hard to find. The g7510 model have auto repeat timer but the timer is yacht timer. The timer will vibrate ⚂ minutes before the setup time. Not really what I want. I had the gd350 negative display before. This model is good except Casio didn't give the module auto repeat timer. So it doesn't work out for me. then i guess ur best option is something like the moto 360 sport.

QUOTE(am3 @ Aug 15 2016, 05:17 PM) I tried android wear smartwatch before but the battery life and needing to always charge them make me wanting. And always on display takes a full on battery life too. If I enabled hydration timer vibration the Battery life would be worse. I would get one again if they have more reasonable battery life. Already have pebble steel though. But normal watch is much better in the sense that you can always replace the battery easily. Cr2032 easy to find I guess I'll stay with the timex for now some not famous android wear already have processors specifically for smart watches rather than using ancient handphone ones. batt life iirc improves by about 40%. the major manufacturers should be having the same processors by end of yr. but ya, i wouldn't get a smart watch either... my rangeman is enough for my gym use.

QUOTE(jun_ng_1208 @ Aug 18 2016, 09:36 AM) The resin band version is available there as well but I didn't see the price  No doubt the light is the highlight  blueish white is much more pleasant than the usual amber light  nm i'll try to drop by paradigm mall later see if they have stock. but rm2039 not unexpected price...iirc the blue bezel version is slightly more expensive around rm2.2k.
