Orderd myself a new watch!!

[TKC]

I bought a Casio G-shock G511-9AV. Here is a link to it: http://my.casio.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=products.detail&product=G511%2D9AV I LOVE it!!! I saw one at the mall yesterday, and LOVED it, and have been thinking about it since. So, I decided to order it online today. What do you think? I LOVE it!!

My daughter loves her G shock, I hate them >:( . Such is life :whee:

[TKC]

Why do you hate them? I have never had a G-Shock before.

I wore a G-Shock so long that the band actually disintegrated! After that, I still used the watch for a couple more years with no case. Really can't find a better deal for the $$ than a G-Shock...

I've bought one of this on Ebay on last Thursday, I had this model in the early 80'S, I think it was the first G-Shock in the market.

I am totally stoked over this new watch!! I LOVE it! I cann otwait until it arrives.

Nice watch, TKC! The yellow face makes it what it is. ;D

I love my Baby-G. Think it is a nice balance between feminine and functional:

[TKC]

I saw the baby G-Shocks, and they are too small for me. Is that the color that you have?

[LowWorm]

Yep, I love the clear, since I wear it every day and I don't have to worry about it clashing w/anything. :queen:

Thinking that the Casio Sweet Poison Baby-G in black and pink would be fun, too. Really wish they'd do a Baby G with a yellow face, though...and give them some better features. They seem to stiff the Baby-G line on some of the cool capabilities that the men's line has.

[Gadget Guy]

Nice watch! I don't know how the pink would go with my eyes though... :laugh:

[TKC]

I am probably the only woman that HATES pink!!

[LowWorm]

You know, I'm not a pink fan, either... it's fun as an accent once in a while, but not for me as an overriding motif.

New watch come in yet?

[heathah]

G-Shocks are great. I have a G2310B. I wore it Monday when we were working cows and calves and I can't remember how many times it got hit, either by a cow, a calf, or on the corral. It never even phased it. It's my watch of choice when I'm working outside and I know things are going to get rough.

[deeker]

Exactly, when I know it is going to be messy I'll wear my blue DW-069. It's been beaten on for 7 years now. I'm going to have to put on a new band shortly as the currrent one is getting too worn.

I absolutely pleased with how long the batery has lasted, and how much abuse the watch can take. I thought only Timex 'took a licking and kept on ticking'.

TKC - you will love it!

On a side note, in Simbad's post, what is the little icon above the seconds display??

[TKC]

Thanks. According to UPS tracking, it will be here tomorrow!! Wahoooooooo.

[TKC]

It arrived today!! I LOVE this watch!! It is sweeeeet!!

[heathah]

Congratulations. I'm glad you like your new watch. You can't go wrong with a Casio. ;D

[TKC]

This is my first Casio. It is SO cool!! I am really digging this cool watch. It is awesome.

[sak_collector]

I have 17 G-Shocks...love them all ;D

I like my Seiko automatics, but G-Shocks rule!!! I've got 10 G-Shocks. The wife has 3 Baby-G's. I'm wearing my Frogman today, with band adapters and Zulu dive strap.

SAK, that second G-shock is gorgeous!* O0


Thanks :) Got it from a guy in the UK named Anton, hes the moderator of gshockforums.com
The watch is great...very thick and heavy...typical G.

My daughter has a baby-g but I cant seem to get my wife to wear one.

What is the model number of this watch? It is very nice.

[sak_collector]

It is a G-701D

[Malcontent]

It is a G-701D


Thanks!

[TKC]

It turned out that I am allergic to the band. I got a rash every time I wore it.

[mikeymoto]

Bummer for you! I'm personally not into analog-digital hybrids...whatever floats yer boat! :D

[TKC]

I am really not into analog-digital either. I got it for S&G, just to check it out.
I very much like automatic watches, like my TAG & Steinhart.
