What features and function would your ideal G-Shock have? And does it exist already??
Been thinking about the G-Shock features and functions I like, they are as follows (in no particular order)
*Clear and legible digital display. They are for telling the time after all! This would probably mean a positive display, unlike many internet experts I find negative displays just fine. However positive is certainly clearer.
*Tough solar.
*Multiband 5/6
*EL
*Auto EL. Might be the only man alive who covets this function but find it very useful
*Resin band and bezel.
Guess to be honest this is the core features I really need. Stopwatch, countdown timers, alarms are useful but tbh I rarely use any of this stuff anymore. As such the GW-M5600 (along with a good part of Casio's current output) is probably ideal as it is for many.
Thinking past the reallynecessary it's also nice to have
*Retro style (i.e. square like the DW-5000)
*Big and imposing (like the GX-56 King, GW-200 Frog and GW-9300 mudman)
*Good comfortable fit. Not to tall tall or bulky.
*Black band and bezel. Because I'm dull like that.
*Metal case and screwback. Original G-Shock style!
*Alti / baro / compass /temp - but be good if temp worked on wrist
Clearly not all of these are possible in the same watch. If I could live without the ABC functions the GW-5000 (one day!) would be nice. Otherwise perhaps the GW-9300 Mudman, GW-9200 Riseman or GWF-1000 Frog are the ones I need. As such this is what I'd really like Casio to do
*Ti screwback case like the GW-200 Frog
*Alti / baro like the Riseman
*Compass like the new Mudman
*Carbon strap like the new Mudman (becasue it's cooool)
*Fit like the new Mudman
*And of course tough solar, multiband6 etc.
That'd be quite an item. Guess it'd also be pretty costly, here's hoping though. If you're reading Mr Casio-san
So, what's your ideal G
