What Watch Are You Wearing Today?

Seen as we are on a Casio trip....

I have exactly the same watch; wear it every day; as I understand it; it is the original G-Shock design and simply the best!
I originally had the same watch with gold lettering and gold buttons; when it eventually gave up the ghost after many, many years, I purchased the original with the white lettering and silver buttons. The watch has been cheapened; not quite so solid as the very originals; which as I understand it came out in early 80's, but this design is essentially the same.
NB: I am in no way whatsoever an expert or aficionado; but this is my recollection of events!

I have the one G-Shock which rarely makes an outing during the summer. What an absolute palaver changing the time. It is set on UTC and that is where it remains. Hence more a winter watch, strangely.

Funny you say that actually. I've got a Tough Solar analogue because I wanted a maintenance free beater. I think I'm past the age of buttons, I can never remember which button to press and how long to hold it down for and all that malarkey. It's supposed to be World Time and make it easy when travelling but tbh although I like the watch, what could be easier than pulling the crown and advancing or dialling back the hour? OK so you might make it 30 sec slow in the process but better than fannying about for 5 min! I do like the watch but I'm glad the time only changes twice a year and I'll take an old school watch for any travel I may get to do!

Saying that, I am in to work this evening through to 4 or 5 in the morning so decided to change all the clicks in advance. 27 clocks and watches later.. May be the one G-Shock might have been welcome. At least I don't have to change that one as always UTC.

Exactly my problem. Too many buttons with a multitude of functions and just don't know what does what. At least I can wear mine as of 0200 tomorrow. May be I should celebrate by actually putting it on my wrist.

A rare day out for the Casio G-Shock GA-400HR-1AER. The model alone says this is going to be a bugger to adjust. Included in the functions are a satellite repositioning mode and an end of world 'armageddon setting'.

And it can be used for 6 months of the year. Useful that you can only have a Reveltions scenario from 30th October to 26th March.
 
If the sky turns black and the sea red, you'll at least know the end of the world is nigh without needing confirmation from Japan's finest!
Off to do battle with my Tough Solar now. Edit: somehow I actually managed to enter DST on/off mode by accident in about 5 button pushes. No idea how I did it but I did actually manage it within a minute so maybe I'm being a bit harsh. I'll let you know when they go forwards again...

Someone should tell those solar arrays they are pointing the wrong way! They need some plant technology, turn to face the sun as it moves.
