Show your G-Shocks

[Topcat30093]

G Shock experts, I am seeking your advice please.

I am interested in getting a square/rectangular - like the original one.
I have viewed their website, but get bogged down with all the various model numbers and lettering.

I have a 6 ¾" wrist so not looking for a large watch - probably 40mm.
An up to date G Shock, that is Solar powered, with possibly Bluetooth and DOES NOT have a negative screen, as I find them more difficult to read.
The 5000 range seems the right model, but I would be guided by you.
Many thanks

If you really want a smaller one, I’d go for a GMDS5600, or a BGD5000U, both of which are marketed at women and are a little smaller than the traditional square, at 40mm. The BGD5000u has more advanced features (radio controlled time, solar charging etc) but is branded as a BABY-G. I have one and I thoroughly recommend it.

If the above aren’t to your taste, I’d recommend a GW5000u. It’s a modern G with more advanced features, and a relatively simple design, or a GWB5600 which has similar features + Bluetooth.

I can highly recommend the GW-5000-U but it's a little heavier that other squares due to the steel case back.

If you wanted something ever so slightly smaller and a lot lighter, I would recommend the carbon-fibre strapped GW-S5600U-1JF. This has a very light titanium case back, the upgraded U model with UK date and white backlight. I have the older non-U version but it still has the clearest LCD display I've seen on any G. It's a great watch. The only downside is that the Carbon Fibre strap is not the most flexible, and it's quite long. The default strap with a GW-5000 is the most flexible and comfortable one they make.

G-Shocks wear different, forget about regular watch sizes. I have the same wrist size and you should be fine with the regular square, eg GW-B5600 series (giving this example, as you mentioned Bluetooth).

With no hint of irony, the best £100 you can spend on a watch

Thank you for all your suggestions, I'm going to look at the characteristics of each model.

See what I mean by all the different numbering and lettering.
No wonder its so confusing to someone who has never followed them1

My favourite G for a long while.
