Loving my new watch. G-Shock GWM5610-1.

@twelvety It’s an iconic shape. I looked at the SW5600E-1V but liked that this one is solar powered and has atomic time keeping. Otherwise I think it’s the same watch

@twelvety The World Time function was another big selling point. Super simple to adjust the watch to whatever local timezone I’m in at work.

@jmreekes I’ll gladly admit that what sold me was that mine (or one very similar) was NASA-approved for space flight. For all those times when I need to go into space.

@twelvety One never know. 😃 Good looking watch with good specs! (Looks much better than my confusing and illegible GA100-1A1). Got myself a $9.99 SKMEI Sports watch instead, and I love it. Not sure it’s safe for space though… @jmreekes

@twelvety I like that as well. If it can survive space, it can survive anything I throw at it on the ground or when flying

@odd The SKMEI watches look nice. I thought about some of the analog/digital G-Shocks but almost all of them are hard to read at a glance.

@jmreekes Yes, that was the problem I had with my G-Shock. Even the light didn’t light up the digital display. I’m not sure if I would recommend my watch to a pilot, as the light is actually making the big numbers illuminate in a bright greenish blue.

@odd That’s what I was afraid of with some of the G-Shocks
