My understanding of g-shock technology is that even the metal ones are always built with a resin core. That’s why they’re so shock proof.

I love my g-shocks. Haven’t been wearing a watch whilst staying home all the time, but they’re great.

There are G Shocks that have a full metal construction like the GW-5000-1FJ & the pricier GW-5000D-1. I have the former and although it looks like a resin model it has a full steel case complete with a screw back. It feels different from a fully resin Casio in that it’s heavier and the strap material feels a little lighter and silkier. I wear mine quite a lot especially while traveling.


Totally understated IMO!

I use it for synching the time with my phone when I'm travelling (which is not a lot at the moment).  I'm sure there's a load of other shit it can do, but a watch, for me, is to tell the time (and possibly date)....

Found this Seiko Arnold reissue in Nashville for CHEAP over the weekend and it’s great! I always want to wear my original but I worry about killing it on accident. This one should be more than capable.

This Seiko 5 rattles and didn’t hold the the time over a week.
But this less intimidating watch is my 24/7!

Any of you own both the G-SHOCK GMW-B5000G-1JF and the GW-5000-1JF?  I'm trying to decide between the two.  Or, those of you that own one or the other, any irritations with the watch?

I like the bigger buttons on the GMW and I think that the bluetooth could come in handy (I heard you can press a button on your watch to help locate your phone).  The GW has a battery indicator on the front display, which is practical, and it's about $100 cheaper.

Not buying just yet, just researching.  Maybe December or January.
