rangeman gw9400 caught my attention seriously, but was then gave up hunting becoz of the price, not really need those function though (triple sensor) trust me bro, no regret picking the ga1000 series, big case, lume with neobrite, thermometer and compass, and more importantly the plane logo is rotate-able  drool.gif

there is a new color variant for this ga1000 series, GA1000-9G
yaya i got it, the digital window doesn't light up but nt a big issue to me la, btw, this ga1000 did surprise me with the lume duration, it was like 4-5 hours or maybe even longer than that lume duration which is far more better than my seiko watch rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  impressive, the glass used spherical glass too, which most of the other gshocks are just flatted
lol thx, my 1st impression to this baby was like... blink.gif  so small one ah? maybe becoz my gr8900 with a bigger case perhaps just my own thought... buying g shock was like entering an endless game ei, now starting eyeing on other models d shocking.gif
*
True, it doesn't bother me either but with a price tag of RM500-600+ for a g shock watch it should do better than that.

The lume duration last long indeed. You dont even have to light it up to charge the lume,the sunlight always did the job for me whenever im outside wearing the watch icon_rolleyes.gif

I really like the window glass. It got this blueish tint under light which is cool tongue.gif I saw some people say the window is made of spherical glass, some say mineral glass. Which is right and are there differences ? blink.gif

Also i think watches should have their own screen protector sold separately as im always scared of scratching my ga 1000 window haha.

rangeman is my most used amongst those, mostly cos of its one press stop watch so much easier to time intervals during workouts.

the glass is made of mineral named mineral glass but with spherical shape or cutting, so it's made of mineral spherical glass biggrin.gif
for screen protector we can try DIY on it perhaps...getting done with the exactly diameter, then cut it from extra smartphone sp then smile.gif

i was checking that 5600MS out last night online n its nice. but i wonder how clear is it IRL. coz fr pictures it doesn't look very clear.

GA-120-1A not for me...i want digital g shock.

i wonder if getting display model is ok...coz u know those small watch shops dun carry much stock...most of the time display model is d only one they have...after being exposed to all d lights n heat, will it affect the watch ?

yesterday i accompany a fren buying his 1st watch, not gshock but seiko la, he asked the same question as yours, will the condition of watches get affected becoz of exposure to light and heat, but no worries la actually, for most of the gshock model is tough enough, there's the selling point of gshock bro, may i knw your location? perhaps u can try search for g factory if your area is selangor or KL...

GA-1000 only comes in FC ver. not stainless steel band/strap.
GA-1000FC-1A, all black. FC stands for fiber composite band iianm.

look at the prefix at the back of the model e.g:

GA-1000FC-1A, FC band instead of normal resin band

GW-A1000D-1A, stainless steel band

glad to hear that? btw, a bit confused now, which model u aimed now? give up yr gd350 d? lol biggrin.gif

p/s: all the gshock came with steel box bro, just that they have to unbox it to show to customer what model they have, basically all watches are new one no worries bro, i got your feeling, I'm those type that love to unbox every new stuff by myself biggrin.gif

haha i no sifu... i also started out hunting like you, i've a worn out old model G-Shock AWGM100 series,
from GAC-110, then move on to GA-1000FC, then GW-A1000FC, finally settled with GW-A1100FC

mine is the FC ver : http://www.casio-intl.com/asia-mea/en/wat/.../GW-A1100FC-1A/

i got it from Japan @ good price compared to few shops i've asked at KL

GW-AW1100FC-1A @ KL @ RM1999, where by i got mine at Japan @ RM1504, due to Yen low currency exchange.
