    That display looks like a $10 watch from my childhood.

    • Steptoe on 27/06/2019 - 18:22

      I think mine cost $40

      Bet that side button activates a barely noticeable blue light.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/06/2019 - 21:00

        Thought it is yellow/orange.

        • Tacooo on 27/06/2019 - 21:06

          I think that's only the black ones. Silver is usually blue.

  • DoggedDog on 27/06/2019 - 18:09

    It actually comes in gold and black too. Black one looks best imo. But the gold is just absurd.

    • sjbartley on 27/06/2019 - 18:16

      I have the black with inverted display (i.e. all black). The IP coating has proven really tough and the watch is really pleasing.

      I reckon it's the one to go for as while the gold and silver have more initial bling, they're hard to wear every day. There are lots of nice functional improvements over a standard plastic square, most significantly the great button size.

    WTF

    Even the store name sounds dodgy

    Waiting for the comment "thanks OP bought 10"

      Was like wtf, they're in every major shopping centre! Then realised they're only in WA/QLD/SA

        Haha as someone who's lived in all of those states but no others, I was thoroughly confused. Surely everyone knows Shiels lol.

        They're typical retail mass produced jeweler kind of dodgy, but not actually suspect if you know what I mean.

          "store is dodgy" - tiny bit of Googleing would show it is an established jewellery chain store with a bunch of locations across 3 states.

    • Steptoe on 27/06/2019 - 18:24

      Quantity Available: 5

      Tried but failed

      • Wilburre on 27/06/2019 - 18:26

        They have bricks and mortar stores across 3 states - unless it's an online only deal surely it meets stock requirements? I'll admit I'm not 100% sure on the rules though.

      Not even the same product did you even look?

      • Soapdroid on 27/06/2019 - 18:20

        It's the exact watch in black.

          No it's not. Stainless steel band vs resin band on the catch model. Most watches are cheaper without a stainless band. Considering the whole point of this model is that it is stainless (the same watch functionally can be had for a couple hundred less) that's a pretty big difference.

          • Soapdroid on 27/06/2019 - 18:24
            -7

            @Wilburre: Right, so a stainless band is worth $100 to you, got it, no worries.

            • Wilburre on 27/06/2019 - 18:32
              +3

              @Soapdroid: It's not about whether it's worth it for me or not. For the record neither are worth it for me, otherwise I would have bought one.

              What is important when comparing prices on a deal site is an apples to apples comparison. I may as well post on an iPhone deal that a motorola is cheaper.

              If op or anyone else wants to spend their hard earned on this it's their perogative. For the record this watch has a lot of hype amongst the watch community and is going for $450usd + in the USA.

              • Soapdroid on 27/06/2019 - 18:47
                -1

                @Wilburre: While you are correct that it would have been helpful for me to mention the band difference, this is a far cry from comparing Motorola to iPhone. Bottom line is that this is the same watch with a different band for $100 less

                @Wilburre: It's more like posting the same iPhone with either a silicone vs drop proof case. Some people will buy the expensive one convenience but more won't mind changing something replaceable for a reasonable saving

                • Wilburre on 27/06/2019 - 22:37
                  +2

                  @Pigsy3: Fair, I just couldn't think of a good example at the time. One thing to consider though is the entire point of the watch is it is the first all-metal square gshock. also the attachment method for the bracelet or strap is proprietary, not normal lugs so it's not replaceable unless you can source another gshock bracelet/strap which aren't sold separately.

    Your eyes are painted on. They look terrible.

    I've got the G-SHOCK 5600AB. The bluetooth functionality is worthless and it just drains battery. Save your money and buy yourself a non-bluetooth G-SHOCK, they'll last longer.

    • Soapdroid on 27/06/2019 - 18:17

      Thanks for this. What exactly does it do?

      • seedyrom on 27/06/2019 - 18:19

        I’m guessing nothing an Apple Watch can do.

      • antler on 29/06/2019 - 21:23

        Alerts you when you have a message and helps you locate the phone in a room.

      Might be ok, given this is solar powered.

    I am SHOCKED anyone would actually paid $750 for this G-Shock. Maybe it has a 2TB ssd inside ?

    • CheepAsChips on 27/06/2019 - 20:27

      "The want factor and how much you enjoy your purchase out weighs simple comparisons to other watches that are similar in function but a lower price." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI1O01HQlMg
      I'm not in that class and don't have a watch, have a phone that displays the time.

    • garetz on 27/06/2019 - 20:51

      even with a 2tb ssd inside, what are you going to do with it in a watch.

    Okay. I no longer feel bad about being an Apple sheeple, buying anything they sell, for the exorbitant prices they sell them for.

      don't let the android droids hear you.

      with their open source, that nobody really does anything with, but hey, it's open source so it must be good

        Haha so true. We love saying it's open source, yet anything not 'vanilla' Android is scum of the Earth.

        Its like using Linux, without the learning curve or desperate sense of superiority

      • spackbace on 28/06/2019 - 14:35

        That moment you realise Android buyers buy phones to actually be ahead of the curve, not 3 generations behind in spec ;)

  • moo on 27/06/2019 - 19:17

    • Salmando on 27/06/2019 - 19:51

      My watch plays the Looney toons song when I press the side button, and the class face is actually bugs Bunny with his arms being there clock… My brain just died, what are the time thingies called again? I want to say hands but that doesn't make sense to me right now 🤔

      • The Value on 27/06/2019 - 19:53

        Hour hand, minute hand and second hand.

        • Salmando on 27/06/2019 - 19:57

          Kept coming to hand, but was referring to arms on a clockface and suddenly hands seems like the stupidest thing ever.

          Thanks

      • Ayanami on 30/06/2019 - 12:11

        Yeah they're pretty full on, but I've gotten used to it and love it now, my tiny wrists notwithstanding.
