G-shocks for £35 is poor value for you? OMG

Pleased to hear that you are a G-Shock fan...but I think you may need to get out more:-))

Solar can have its drawbacks, this has a battery that will last for the best part of a decade if taking it easy on the backlight.

It has enough features for most users and is both accurate & reliable whilst withstanding dirt, dust, impacts and water.

Hot from me.

There was a global Waveceptor device with solar power on here last week for very little more which makes it poor value.

Solar means you don't have to take it easy on the backlight to extend battery life. It just works.

Waveceptor means it tells the time accurately. When out of range of the atomic clock, my gshock watches are actually quite poor at keeping time. The nightly reset of the time is massively beneficial and turns an average timepiece into an accurate watch.

Otherwise. It's just a digital watch. Unless you work in a magnet factory.

Pretty poor value for me. Isn't solar powered or radio controlled timing (waveceptor).

For me, without these functions, it's not a proper G-Shock and should cost considerably less. It's just a digital watch in this form.

Thanks op, just reserved..

Any potential purchasers please ignore the nonsense talked;-))
A basic but cracking G-Shock...especially at this price.
Good find OP

Hot hot hot ! Great watch , plenty of features , what's not to like ?:smiley:

Had this watch for nearly ten years (paid a similar price on amazon) and still on the same battery. Its indestructable and the world time has been very useful when travelling. Oh and the back light keeps my one year old entertained lol!

I havd this watch for over 2 years and have found it to be hardy and the waterproof feature very useful. I got it at the time from Argos xbay at a little less than this so worth a look there as well.

I refuse to get one until you can change the date format :man:

Managed to buy a G7900-1ER for £16.99 delivered from Argos ebay recently. I normally only buy ones with Tough Solar/Radio control but it was too cheap to turn down.

I tried to post the deal on here but someone bought 40 leaving only 1 in stock.

Agreed this is a good price. Regarding solar I've had a G-Shock tough solar battery fail after 5 years but my battery only Casio is still running on the factory fitted battery! http://www.javys.com/casio/series.php?series_id=FC0002

The solar units use an expensive Panasonic battery that costs £15-£20 pound for the a replacement part + fitting costs.

Heat++

I know what you mean. Even the option to have the day and date instead of month and date would suffice!

However, I can't moan as I got mine for only £17 from Argos eBay via a post on here a couple of years ago - and it's on the same battery and no problems with time accuracy (I do have an "radio controlled" Citizen eco-drive as well so do appreciate those features, particularly as that's not worn everyday so is always ready to go).

Can u go swimming with this?

I wish they still selling my great GW2310...

Can somebody recommend a Casio with radio controlled time? What about the WV-200E?

A G-Shock is about it's ruggedness, not the features. £34 for a proper G-Shock is still pretty good.

What is the e-Data function about?... :neutral_face:

35 looks about right for a low end looking gshock.

Just noticed, this one actually says "10 year battery" on the dial!

good deal

Just picked one up I reserved last night.

I'm sure it's a good deal but it looks 'cheap' (and less rugged) compared to other G-Shock watches... might just be the photography though, and obviously it's just my opinion.

I have this watch. it is very good. I like the 5 alarms which I find really useful. if it lasts anywhere near 10 years I'll be very happy.

I would definitely recommend it

Yes, it was useless for my job as a coal miner too. And I commute on the tube...

I like Casio- I've had loads of their watches over the years- but I just wish they'd get rid of the gimmicky animated features on the dials and give us bigger digits instead.

I've got what looks like exactly the same watch, it's virtually indestructible and I've used it every day for years including going swimming when on holiday etc by the time battery needs changing I think I'll just get a new watch, I'm amazed after all these years the design hasn't changed

You haven't got a scooby mate

Destroyed 7 watches in my job, many of them in first or second week of wearing. I have G-shock for 6 years with no issues. That's why u buy G-shocks. Not for sonar, remote control or period calendar.

Well for the jubilee line you don't need a watch that displays minutes just hours is fine...

will this watch help me pull?

Super heat.

I bought one of these eons ago, and it's still going strong. Must've been ten years ago. Worth every penny.

Rigors of backpacking for a year including going sx6uba diving regularly wearing my trusty G-shock. That was 2012. Still going now on same battery. Indestructible.

Here for the flame
