Hello, I am looking to buy GBA-800-8A. G-Factory at Mid Valley selling RM53x.00. Lazada's C&H Movement selling RM369. Lazada's Malaysia Watches selling RM438.80 but model is GBA-800-8ADR (What is the difference between GBA-800-8A and GBA-800-8ADR?). Other than the Grey color GBA-800-8A, there is the GBA-800-1A. Perniagaan Jam May May selling RM449. Shopee's G People selling RM368 but model stated GBA-800-1ADR/GBA-800-1A/GBA-800-1/GBA-800.

This is my first watch and I want to use it for running and casual wear. I like its simple look but don't really focus on the step tracker features etc.

SO, you can recommend me other G shock model much like this that is suitable for running and casual wear too.

So fellow experienced collector please help me to decide to buy from who? (I like the grey color more) And please explain the model code differences.

THANKS.

No different. behind no. It jz the color code, the module is the same. Guess tis the only Gshock affordable Bluetooth function for your requirement. Go for G people, reputable online seller & price reasonable.

I know behind 8A and 1A is color code. But the same color say gray, got 8A and some 8ADR. So?

You bought from G people before? They give 1 year local distributor warranty. Normally how many year of warranty given? Say from G-Factory.

Also found another deal for RM369 at Lazada by Stussy Gallery, what about this seller?

im not sure what the different btw of 8A & 8ADR u r asking, as i check the model u ask on the official Gshock website there is no result for the GBA-800-8ADR. anyway u better check & ask the seller 1st abt the functionality. 

usually most seller jz give 1 year local distributor warranty. Again u can always ask the seller abt T&C before u made purchase.

I see some people talking about grey market product. So the price will be cheaper because different warranty card. I don't fully understand that. So it is still genuine product from Casio factory?

And the stussy gallery explained to me that DR means Asia set. His is ER Europe set. JR is Japan. CR is USA & Canada. So manual book language different.

Looking to buy GW-9400. It was released in 2013. So I want to know does all the watch manufactured in 2013 or they continuously manufacture it until today? I am afraid that the stock I am buying will be a very old stock.

Another question, carbon fiber vs resin for best durability and long lasting?

all 9400 have serial numbers with a letter that usually states what yr its made...u can find more info online.

CF vs resin, is really a non-issue...modern resin lasts longer than before...and u can buy replacements cheap anyway.

Thanks for your reply. By saying modern resin, you mean the GW-9400 manufactured back in 2013 is having different resin than the one manufactured recently?

Hi, where can get GMW-B5000 or GMW-B5000G? How much do they sell in store? Is it recommended to buy over Rakuten?

Anybody know of this third party steel square bezel selling at Lazada good or not? https://s.lazada.com.my/s.ZIYm3
It is cheaper than the one from G-Shock Custom Works.
