    Reminded myself that I only have 2 wrists…….

      A watch is a men's jewelry ;-)
      You can wear some watches as jewelries or accessories on both hands :P

      Now I have 3 … Thanks Ozb …
      I recently bought CASIO MRW200H-1B from WatchNerd's post:
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/856601

      I have Citizen Eco-Drive BM7450-81L as my first watch, and then Huawei smartwatch GT-Runner (better accuracy for heart rate, 1 week battery etc. than many other brands even Samsung Galaxy Watch 4/5/6 and Garmin).

        I was under the impression that my earrings, necklaces, rings, watches, nipple piercings, etc. all counted as my "men's" jewelry? And my wife's watch was also part of hers…

        • Jewelry or accessories, it's up to everyone's interpretation

      • Probably trolling but I don't think you can tell the time on a bracelet, bangle or a set of earings :P
        So it is more of an accessory with an intended use. You don't actually need a lot of things in life.

      • Now I have 3

        Thanks for letting us know. Can you please share on youtube that you wear 3 watches

    • +1

      You’ve only got 2 feet as well. Does that mean you’ve only got 1 pair of shoes?

      • He can put more shoes on his hands

  • Are these the ones that are usually $600+?

    Good looking watches, WN will be pleased that the case is also metal not resin ☺️.

    Good website to check features of G-Shocks:
    https://shockbase.org/watches/watch_dyn.php?model=GMW-B5000D…

    Has multi-date, solar, Bluetooth, auto EL. Surely a basic stop watch. DLC coated but I don't think you'd want to drop it on the road or anything (kind of defeats the purpose and is more a bling watch).

    Kind of leaning towards a Rangeman GW9400 myself (tough and Iconic, lacking a few of the modern features but heaps of stuff I'd never use).

    • Yes it is. This is a bloody good price. And an amazing watch. I have been dailying mine lately. Can't fault it.

  • +5

    I love mine. It scratches fairly easily so I'm thinking about getting it sandblasted for something different.

    • +1

      That's always my biggest concern. Good to know

    • +2

      Scratch … Yeah G-SHOCK watches are still strong after falling. But scratch is another thing …

    • Sounds interesting, wonder how much that would cost?
      The metal G-shocks look cool, chunky, heavy and blingy but too pretty to drop.

      Would be fine if you look after your stuff, just can't bash it around like G-shocks are intended. These are prone to hairline scratches being a polished surface. Scratched up G's are cool too though as they've been warn and not babied.

      It's still tempting at under $500 for a JDM. They do wear a bit big (the end links turn out not down), so will have a bit of a a gap on 6.5 wrist but is doable.

    • G-Shocks are beater watches, unless you have a very limited, irreplaceable collab version of course. Wear those scratches with a badge of honour.

  • Have the black version. Very nice as a every day wear. Don't mind the scratches, but black doesn't seem to scratch that easily…

    Under $500 is a fantastic price. These are Made in Japan as well.

    • What model code is that one

  • +2

    Can someone educate me why and wat that looks like It belongs to the “cheap” rack on 1990s is Worth $400?

    • +2

      Made in Japan

      Reinforced water resistance for everyday use: 20 bar = 200 m

      Bluetooth compatible: Radio solar compatible with 6 stations around the world (Japan x 2, North America, UK, Germany, China)

      Resistant to shock and vibration due to its shock resistant construction

      • Thanks for taking time to reply, mate. The radio thing is interesting. So it’s solar powered?

        Also when you say radio, do you mean Bluetooth radio? Or like actual AM/FM? If so, does that mean it has a speaker or does it connect your headphones with Bluetooth?

        • +1

          Just click the link and look a the specs if you're actually interested.

          Radio = atomic clock, syncs to radio towers to keep the time accurate (useless in Australia).
          It has Bluetooth so that's better, syncs to app 4 times a day.

      I bought Casio MRW200H-1B. Good looking and so cheap at $36.49 :)

        That link is cursed….

        Jokes aside, thanks mate! I got the classic f91-w. I think that’s really the extent for me without a watch having health sensors on it…

      • 15% CR would be good, seems like it's a goer for Men's watches. $30 cap so would bring the metal G to ~$461 if I'm not mistaken.. hmm.

        I'd get an AE1200 world time of some description over the F91W. They feel too cheap and the bands don't sit well (personal experience).
        Or those GBD200 are worth the extra, and just turn the smart watch stuff off.

          • @neoleo: Isn't CR capped at $30 or am I missing something?

    • If you 90s soul and got money to burn lol

      • Free return, go ahead :P

  • Hnnngg….

    The 9% cashback (capped at $30) through Shopback applies to this as well? So $461.59 after cashback?

    • Yes. It's sold direct by Amazon anyway. But better 15% today through Cashrewards. I always use Chrome mobile browser in my android phone and always tracked successfully. No problem for me with any cashback companies.

  • Seems like it’s silver and gold only. If only they had some of the other cool colours too or black…

    https://gshock.casio.com/intl/products/type/full-metal/gmw-b…

    • That black one looks cool (GMW-B5000MB-1)
      Cheaper is better on here though :).

  • This or Apple Watch

    • None both

    • Usually people who want Apple Watch has iPhone already. Not good with Android phones as ECG can only work with iPhone. If you don't have iPhone, better other smartwatch.

      The watch in this post is different than smartwatch.

  • Must resist…

    • Resistant to bargain or your desire :P ?
      Is it a need or want ? According to your budget?

      • I have lived by OzB code: Buy now Think later😬😬
        Don’t know where it fits between need or want😛

        • +1

          Free return. Go ahead :P

  • great watch, but not for small wrist, check the link below
    https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/are-full-metal-casioaks-m…

    • Nice one, that's a handy link. I've decided against it (6.5" wrist), it just wouldn't sit well (and a bit precious for a G-shock).
      I think you'd want to have >7.5" wrist for a good fit. Some people put on resin strap but that defeats the purpose.

      They are still expensive so may look at some cheaper models.
