not sure why so surprised on the size of it as you know most g-shocks are known to be oversized anyway, like the rangeman, mudman, mudmasters, etc. Question tho, would this be the same size as a say the Rangeman master of G?

Hello! Just got mine and i got a lil problem. Got the time and date set but the bluetooth icon doesn’t turn on the screen as i follow the instructions mentioned in their website, the holding mode button for 2secs and then start button for another 2 secs. Can’t really connect it to my phone without it, thanks for the video!

I don’t think your comment about the lack of on the fly adjustment is nitpicking. It’s what’s holding me back from buying it. I mean, how do I know without purchasing it if I’ll be able to get the right fit? And I know aftermarket straps are available, but to make such a big purchase, when I like the way it looks on a bracelet, seems nuts.
@DougFNJ 16 күн бұрын
On steel, at least they have the half kinks so I could find tune it to a good degree. But I have this weird thing with titanium that when my wrist swells or cools down, it makes the titanium too tight or too loose. I did find out about an interesting brand called Steel Reef that offers a system similar to Rolex's easy link for multiple brands including Grand Seiko.

@@DougFNJ Really! I’ll check it out. Thanks for that. My wrist expand and contracts during the day also, and a fixed clasp kinda freaks me out. With my leather straps the material naturally stretches, so eventually I can get a great fit. But not so with bracelets.
