Yes, quartz but that wasn’t a problem for what I wanted it for. Actually a plus for late night and park dog walks

What is trad-style?

A traditionally styled watch, round case, numerals or indices and, given that this is the Casio thread, unlike just about every other Casio watch previously posted 😀

Hoping to get some help with these 2 relics! Does anyone know someone who can help with repairs. Hoping to save at least one. Sticky buttons, damaged screen etc.

Sorry I can't help. I imagine finding parts for these could be as hard as finding parts for a vintage mechanical watch!

The strap made from recycled, scrap strap bits appealed to me. If not on my wrist, it travels with me strapped to my laptop carry

Cool! Can you actually play Pac Man on it? Wonder how the controls would work as there's no joystick.
Sadly not - that would have been awesome! It's just the design.

I’m new to Omega Forums 😀

I have six Casios! I love all of them. They’re great and they run just as well as a Rolex and Omega. Plus, inexpensive watches like Casio is all I could afford lol. I put them in the chronological order from my first Casio and also first G-Shock to the latest purchase.

I’m happy with it so far. Now I hope to find the more dressier ones like the Edifice, MTP and Waveceptor line, maybe something that has a 10 year old battery or solar.

I note that the watch on the far right has a vibration alarm. I often wish that my G-Shock square has this feature as well, as I can then wear it to bed and it can wake me up without disturbing the wife.

That’s a W735H! I mainly got it because I’m a deaf man and needed it to wake me up for my classes and other stuff. Fortunately, it only costs like $30, has a 100m water resistance and has a 10 year battery. Good enough for me. 👍

There’s also several G-Shocks with vibration alarms like the GD350 and GSW-H1000.

Welcome! Which receives the most wear?

Sharing my G-shock “Tron.” Actually if you ask Casio they’ll probably say it’s the “Time Tunnel” as I’m sure they are not looking for an awkward conversation with the film’s producers.

Appears to be in quite good condition. How well does it avoid scratches?

I find some of the creative G's interesting, but my concern is scratching them beyond recognition 😬

I feel the same way and I don’t wear it as G-shocks are meant to the worn. For that I borrow my wife’s GW-M5610. In my view the metal g-shocks are meant to be more decorative and I don’t see the point to abusing it like a resin watch so it doesn’t get over exposed to harsh physical activity. Plus since this was a limited product run now discontinued, I suppose I’m slightly precious about it.

I got it from a Japanese dealer about a year ago and it came clearly in NOS condition in the box seemly as it may have left the factory. The dealer I bought it from still has the listing up so I suspect they have more.
