I've always been a Timex Shock guy but they don't last more than 4 years tops. The bands don't last more than a year and replacement bands aren't available. So I thought I'd give Casio G-Shocks a go.

I want it to be black/black out, it can have some dark grey hardware but I prefer black, no flash. I'd like it to be under $150 but be a tough looking watch. I'd like it to display time both digital and analog.

Thanks

Also I'm seeing they have some with a solar charging/maintaining feature. Atomic would be benifical also. Thoughts?

I had a Casio G-Shock for a time, not sure where it is now since I don't wear a watch anymore. I liked it fine, however, the atomic clock synchronization didn't work well; during the spring/fall time changes it always took a couple, to several, days to sync up. You can move it up/back manually. If you live closer to the radio signal source (Denver, I think) maybe it'll work better for you.

Are you spying on me, I was just looking on Amazon at the same watches about the time you made this thread.

I found one that was about 130 with compass and thermometer. Not sure I need the fancy gizmos. I've been wearing a Timex Shock for a few years now and am ready to upgrade.

Ha ha, I have about 10 in my Amazon cart. Now to decide which one I want. I like the solar feature, since the regular G-Shocks say only a 2 year battery life. Atomic is not so important. Analog and digital time display is a feature I want.

I spilled prodiamine on my G-Shock while filling a 40 gallon sprayer. Prodiamine is a pre-emergent for weeds. It stinks and it binds with plastic.

I washed it off immediately, got myself cleaned up. Didn't hurt the watch but I never could get that smell out of the watch. Bought a new one off Amazon for $40. Threw the other one in a junk basket.

Deet will also eat away at the plastic. So be aware when you go camping, hiking, fishing, etc.

Jaysandkays on fleabay, $12. Got some for a GA200 and a GW5610. They come with spring bars.

I wanted to love my g shocks but the lack of illumination at night was a big letdown. The hands on the cheaper mudmaster would stay lit up for a few minutes at most. I’ve heard the higher end mudmaster is better but I’m reluctant to spend that much just to find out it isn’t.

my watch wasn't listed, it was only released this month.
however Jayandkays were helpful pointing me to the right product.

they have a good package deal on the bars, adapter and strap.
but I wanted a little bit different strap.. so I just opted for the adapter.

the strap I chose was black, with brass/rose gold rings to play off the gold on the watch face.
should look pretty cool

my watch arrived at LAX last night from Japan.

They work great on my GA200, but I'll probably end up doing the Mil-shock mod on the 5610
