hi guys,

im interested in getting a g shock. i havent gone window shopping yet but i would want something all black...no other colours at all not even on the light button. matte if possible. max im willing to pay is RM500 but wont mind spending more if the watch is nice.

any suggestions ?

thanks for the suggestions. i'll check them out.

i went to the Casio international website n browsed a bit.

one model that caught my eye was GD-350-1B



any idea of the price range ?

is this model available in local watch shops ? i wanna try it on b4 getting it

GPeople can trust or not ?

I really feel like wanna get it ASAP but i shud go try it on 1st LOL.

no la i wanna get a g shock that is not flashy n not too pricey for daily use. my job no involve anything dark haha

i guess my 1st choice is GD350. now reading reviews on watch forums n got some negative feedback about the feel of the buttons on the GD350. LED also too bright it seems.

over in the watch forum, G-7900 seems to be like god of g shock lidat LOL. n its cheap too but not all black.

i predict when i go browse at watch shop im gonna be in dilemma d.

exactly la the 4 screws in front just spoils d look of the 7900

GW9400 bit too flashy for me. im targeting models with uncoloured "G Shock" n "Protection".

nice but lacks that tacky display of older g shocks.

looks too much like smartwatch

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 ?

d more i browse n discover the more models i want to buy

oh no !

ok good to hear that. but i still hope to get one that is in d metal box...unwrapped n still covered in plastic

my location is kelana jaya. there is a g factory in paradigm mall. that will be d 1st place i will check out

glad coz im really particular about buying display models...not just watches. that being said all my watches were display models coz my dad's fren owns a small watch shop so whole family buys watches fr there.

so i have never had that satisfaction of slowly unboxing a watch b4.

im still aiming for the gd350. but im also keeping in mind GD-100-1B, DW5600MS (or other 5600 models) n maybe even d G7900. the GX56GB-1 also caught my eye but i reckon its gonna be too big n too expensive for me.

for some reason over at watchseek forum they keep raving about the G7900.

im just hoping that the GD350 is still available in the colour i want. it was released in early 2013 so might be a chance not many shops carry it anymore.

right now im actually trying to find my 1st g shock model. the outer shell broke apart a few yrs ago n i threw it away...imagine that man. im cursing myself for doing that.

my wrist size is about 7 inches. i dun mind a big watch, its just that i dowan oversize one...mainly coz it'll end up getting scratched. i think most models im ok with the size. but i'll avoid those extra large size ones. but i still wanna try on the King GX56 tho LOL.

nah im getting one 1st. den see how it goes. my last g shock was a model called DW-003C-8T. got it as a bday present back in 1998. cost RM400+



i liked it but it was hard to maintain bcoz of the white fabric band.

after that i found another g shock in a cab. but neva really wore it. cant remember d model. it was black with red buttons. similar to 7900 in terms of looks but with less functions. a few yrs ago i took it out n wanted to start wearing it but the whole outer shell disintegrated when it washed it with water. broke into pieces really.

guys are the shops in Pertama complex selling ori g shocks ?

1st things 1st wanna get the GD350...it was love at 1st sight LOL. after that i will get one basic/classic model. it will probably be the G7900. so many raves about 7900 over at watchuseek forum that im curious to see wats d big deal.

i think d model i found in d cab was a DW6900. it might be fake or maybe d band was fake...as d band buckle was gold in colour.

despite my interest i havent gone to any watch shops yet. mainly coz its a long weekend n malls gonna be packed with ppl. i wanna take my time looking n trying Gs. n not having to move aside every 30 seconds LOL.

i gather G Factory is d best place for browsing for Gs ?

Is pertama complex an ok place to get g shocks ? cos my dad knows a guy there n whole family been buying watches fr him since the 80s.

cant remember specifically which threads but the general consensus from posts and threads i read thru seems to indicate that G7900 is a good model to start with, decent price n solid design.

i dun really like d designs of the 5600 n 6900. although the MS version looks quite cool. any idea how clear d MS displays r of those 2 models in real life ?

GD400 looks good...except for the metal protectors. i reckon after some use, the paint on those protectors r gonna get scratched off.

alright thanks 4 d info.

btw is Pertama Complex a good place to buy G Shocks ?

any recommended shops around KL/PJ ?

i think i kena influenced by the watchuseek forum ppl. d more i look at the G7900 the more im liking it LOL. but my opinion might change once i go test it

i heard g factory prices cannot bargain wan rite ?

happened to mine also. almost exactly like in ur pic.

mine i wore it almost daily for 3-4 yrs. i cleaned it often too. took real good care of it. i bought another watch so d g shock went into the drawer n stayed there for many yrs. about 2 yrs ago i took it out n wanted to wear it again. it was a lil dusty so i washed it with water. the moment i rubbed the watch with my fingers it all fell apart d.

i read on watchuseek forum that it disintegrates because of exposure to acidic sweat.

for me RM50 is still ok. anything more n i feel like kena con d

wats d advantage of buying fr G Factory ?

any idea if gpeople do COD ?
