erm...would like to ask, what is the different between this gshock thread and the gshock thread in men's style?

Lol actually I didn't know that there's another thread about G-Shock

no diff... just someone go create the other side also...
both sections also correct... tho i feel should go style better since other watch threads are there.
can always be merged anyway... see which side prefer.

I think it's good to just merge it since it's kinda quiet here in this section as well so maybe can create more responses over at the men's style sub forum

I think maybe better get admin close this.
then last post here get ppl redirect there.
later some others who visit here wonder wtf this thread went.

how to know is it original?

so yea, i just got a GA-700 a couple days ago...
why red? probably cos i got enough black, and i dont like blue or white





anyway, its marginally bigger than a rangeman...i have to wear it 1 notch looser on the GA-700...small difference seeing as 90% of G's out there are big anyway.
it has the typical one-press to stopwatch function as on the rangeman...with the light button also at the bottom.
a long press of the mode button in any other mode except for time-keeping, brings it back to the main screen.
and should the LCD be blocked by the hands, they can be moved out of the way just by pressing the light + mode buttons.
i believe the new GA-500 also has the same functions...so looks like Casio are slowly upgrading the GA modules.



LED is quite bright, but not as bright as the G-Steel.
tho there is just enough light reflecting off to actually read the LCD in the dark...tho i dunno why u would want to.



typical plastic buckle...its not bad...but one good thing is it doesnt jingle like steel buckles do.
the GA-700 strap has the same width as the rangeman, but it also has wider tangs...
so no...the rangeman buckle will not fit

Hi, All G Shock Sifu

Please enlighten me, I saw a lot of people selling frogman with jelly case in mudah.my.

Are they original? Does Casio produce jelly case frogman? some were selling real cheap at RM300++

Thanks you!

The price alone will be a big hint that they are not authentic, if you apply a little bit of common sense then you'll probably be able to answer your own question

Awesome review bro how much was the damage? I think Marco lowered the price for some of their models, I notice the GX-56BB is now back at RM 769 instead of RM 819 few months ago

RM350... decent for the features that trickled down from higher end Gs.
g-people sell slightly cheaper, but i lazy wait for pos etc.

GX56bb is gg

Yes the price is indicative of it's authenticity. But my questions still stands, does casio produce jelly case frogman, if not, then I assume people just produce their own jelly case and swap in their modules (be it original modules or not)? I do admit some of those jelly case are pretty!

I saw GX-56BB sellng for RM 590 brand new in FB group LOL GA-700 for 350 is cheap leh

For the Frogman that you're referring (GWF-1000) there is only 1 jelly case ever produced by Casio so far which is the GWF-1000TM (Takashi Murakami) version all others are custom made parts

I saw some where selling above RM 1k. These were probably original modules inside.
OK, totally understand now. Thanks for the confirmation!

RM350 ok la...G-people is RM337.
anyway, only reason i took photos is to test phone camera...can pass la for some quick shots.
could have been way better, but i lazy set up table and tripod etc
