Hello all, Im completely new here, to both the forum and G-Shocks. I live in Miami, FL. Just recently bought my first G-Shock; the Rangeman. I absolutely love it. Ive owned Casio watches over the years, wore a calculator watch for god knows how long, remember getting scolded in math class because of the calculator. Picked up my second G-Shock just the other day off Craigslist for $230...it was a brand spankin new Frogman, (not atomic) still had protective plastic on the back of the case...guy said it was a gift and wasnt his style, probably because he had pencil wrists. Anyway, this is my entry into the world of G-Shocks. Hope to make some cool buddies and share some photos of my Froggie/Rangeman in action :friendly_wink:

Hello folks, I'm Matt, 39 years old and from the Scottish Highlands.
I am a long-time user of G-Shock, having built up a small collection over the years. I have until recently been using a DW6600 (with adapters and NATO strap) which served me faithfully during my time in the military, despite sand, oil and being dropped and stood on once or twice!! I have a new CR2016 battery, bezel and gasket on order, and intend to give it a graceful retirement (which it deserves after 8 years, two tours in Iraq, being used as a 'work-watch' in a garage and years of camping/hillwalking).
Just bought a very 'retro' DW5500 (with adapters and NATO strap) as a more subtle replacement for everyday use in my new job.
I love the fact that these watches can be serviced/repaired at home, and parts are plentifully available! Proper kit, never had one fail yet!
Looking forward to swapping tips, tracking spares and chasing bargains with you all!

Also welcome to X-treme! What a way to be introduced to G-Shock madness
I think you're almost in danger of being disappointed by your future G-Shocks because the Rangeman is arguably the best 'G' out to date, and to add to that a Frogman, with its superlative build quality and toughness...I wonder if you'll ever look at a DW-5600E
