My GPW-1000-4 arrived today, took a few pics tonight. it is definitely a little wider than the A1100 and MTG-S1000. it has a very powerful white LED light, it can almost be used as a flashlight. it has a very nice DLC bezel, buttons and strap screws, and of course sapphire glass. and its made in Japan H

i havent gotten to all the functions because all the instructions are in Japanese but i will figure it out.

the strap has CF in it but it is sandwiched in black and orange resin. so you can't see the pattern, but it seems to be stronger than the regular CF straps

it will not fit under cuffs, but i never wear shirts so its not a problem

all in all..... its very well made, a little heavy but it has great presence, you can tell the craftsmanship just from the buttons and that great DLC bezel, it makes my orange A1100 look and feel like a toy

just a few pics from tonight with my iPhone, not the best because of lighting, but tommorow ill take a few more with daylight

cheers guys

To stop using plane mode, press the left down button for 4 second, it will turn back to auto time mode.

Try the GPS reception already, succeeded. Press B button for about 4 second until red hand point to T+P, the watch will then start searching. After it turn back to normal, press B button again if it goes to yes it means success.
