Yes, I know they are selling them in the US for the last week or so but I pre ordered from Japan when it was announced.
Very lightweight and comfortable. would have preferred solar, but loved the color combo so had to have it.
And with this, I have to say thank you to this community, which is such a great, non-toxic environment.
Walked into Sam’s and couldn’t resist the Shock Resist!
I went to see the cherry blossoms with my favorite G-Shock watch.
Have to say, I am beginning to become a big fan of the tough solar / multiband 6 feature. I kinda look forward waking up to see if they synced over night. Anyone else have that problem ?

I visited Japan and my G-Shock synched on her native atomic clock instead of my usual North American one. So cool!
G-shock is HUGE here, by the way. They’re for sale on every block and the ads for them are all over the place.

A surprisingly labour-intensive mod. I bought the kit a couple of years ago but never wore it, as the bracelet arms stuck straight out from the side of the case without any articulation, making it look huge on my girlie 6.5" wristlets. So it ended up in a drawer.
I eventually got around to grinding down the inner lugs of the bracelet, and now it finally sits properly and looks fairly decently on my wrist. I’m reasonably happy with how it turned out, though I think it’ll remain more of an occasional wear piece.
This thing is a beast. I thought my Mudmasters were big.
I’ve seen all the reviews saying the GPR-H1000 isn’t a "real" smartwatch. "The app is clunky," "The HR isn't medical grade," "It's too big."
But after a week with it, I realized I don't want a mini-computer on my wrist that I have to baby. I wanted a G-Shock that happens to tell me how hard my heart is pumping when I'm hitting the trails (or the stairs at work).
That MIP display (check the second photo) is miles ahead of any standard LCD, and honestly, the "smart" features are exactly as much as I actually need without the notification fatigue.
Not to mention that my Garmin was stuck on a certain version amd could not be upgraded. Plus the solar on them is just crap.
Friend went to visit Japan, asked him to be on the lookout and didn’t disappoint!
Sometimes I wish the hour hand was a bit longer and the counterweights a bit shorter.
Doing some work on the roof at my parents house, so only one watch for the job
Seems the step tracker is accurate and reliable. I'm happy with the result
Finally got my first G-Shock in Japan 🇯🇵 – Tough Solar, Multiband 6, and that classic square look 🔥
