Icon10 Incoming ... G-Shock GW5610 ... is it dumb that I'm excited?


I have a SUB 114060 and a Speedmaster 3570. Yet, for some reason I kept looking at pics of the "classic" g-shock and reading opinions on them. People with Rolex's even have them and like them. "it's this generation's Tool watch".
... so I thought "why the heck not?"
Anyway, I figured that I'd want the best representation and most classic. So I went with the GW5610 because it's the "classic" design and solar/atomic.

Should be at my door this weekend. I'll take pics.

I have similar watches (Rolex EXPII polar, SUB, Omega 3570.50, Omega Seamaster Chrono), but I love my G-Shock GW-7900B-1. It's a rugged watch and gets a lot of wrist time when I'm horsing around with the kids, cycling etc. The G-Shocks are bullet-proof and fun to wear.

Congrats on the new watch!

Congrats! G-Shock is a great watch. I enjoy mine just as much as my Rolex. In fact I am wearing my GW-7900B right now as I type this. It's not something I'd wear with a suit or tux but for when working around the house, etc... its great. I like the solar/atomic feature. Between mechanical or solar watches I'll never buy a watch that requires battery replacement again.

GWM5610 is a great G-Shock, with the strap from GW5000, its one of the most comfortable G-Shock I have ever worn

I love my g-shock mudman. Watch is awesome and has so many useful functions. Also I wear it doing everything and it can take a serious beating, very tough watch

Icon20 GOT IT! Now for pictures!

I got it! I couldn't be happier! It's comfortable, accurate and looks good. I like that I will not have to mess with a battery. I was afraid the strap would be too plastic feeling since I'm used to stainless and NATOs but it feels nice.

So far I like my G-Shock. I haven't worn it for a whole day yet (only had it a day). ... can't really bring myself to NOT wear my SUB.

I hope you liked the pictures.
