Got my Smoke & Gold yesterday!
Gr8 G-Shock for big wrists. It's definitely an eye catcher. The 3420 module has identical functionality as the 3247 modules in the G-001 Jason except that the GD-X has a front light button and the Jason doesn't.
Improvements over the original DW-6900:
48 city 29 Time Zone World Time (but no UTC !)
Auto LED backlight option
5-second Autostart option on the Stopwatch
Optional Progress Beeper on the CD Timer
Button beep muting
Big easy-to-press buttons.
Longer battery life with 2032 batt and LED illumination
Big wrist friendly
Possible downgrades compared to the original DW-6900:
The unprotected 12/24 hr format switching on the bottom right button may cause inadvertent switching since the button is pretty easy to get to on the GDX6900s.
Some ppl will miss not being able to set the seconds on the CD Timer.
Totally different strap attachment will make attaching a Zulu or Nato strap impossible or require custom modifications &/or custom mfgr of parts.
Less small wrist friendly
