I’ve been wearing this model (GW-S5600-1JF) for the last week. The strap has a carbon fiber insert, so it should be pretty much disintegration proof. 😀

I have a Riseman, it is bullet proof, I do horizontal boring and I wear it daily, lots of abuse, no issues. I like the Riseman mostly because it gets updates from the International Time Clock in Fort Collins every night, so I never have to adjust the time, ever! The solar power indicator has never gone below Full, it is a great watch!

It’s so expensive though! I Google’d it and it’s over $200. It’s nowhere close to my price range. But thanks for confirming what they said.Looks nice. If I’m going to spend upwards of $50, I’m going to get something in white. I think the white look the sharpest. Or an all-black one.
Hi, White would totally stand out, But in the long run when the watch ages, It starts to discolor towards yellow then brown. I have experienced it before. Makes me not want to wear it anymore :unsure:.Looks nice. If I’m going to spend upwards of $50, I’m going to get something in white. I think the white look the sharpest. Or an all-black one.

My bad, I didn’t see your price range, just checked FleaBay, looks like $149 w/free shipping is about as cheap as they get.I’ve had a Mudman (g-9000, non solar/atomic) for 3-4 years now. The thing has been through flood recovery, blood, fights, dirt, mechanical bangs, SCUBA and pretty much everything else I could throw at it and it has barely a scratch. I picked it up for around $70 on Amazon and it is constantly on my wrist. I recently picked up a much more expensive watch ($500+) that I’ve always wanted and never wear it because the weight and sizing of the G-Shock is so perfect that anything else feels very foreign.
There are a lot of places that carry G-Shocks now, including most department stores. I would say go and try a few on first. If you don’t need the specific features of the more expensive models, stick to the Mudman. It comes in several flavors and you can beat the hell out of it without having to worry about anything.
I also have never had an issue with bands breaking, or snagging issues either. I love the styles. personally I feel they have some of the coolest looking watches out there.I have two, and this thread makes me want to buy another, higher end model. I will have to wait a couple weeks though because I just spent a bit on a Sitka.

I’ve been wearing an OD Green dw9000 since ’98; the strap just broke a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, it was a limited edition and they don’t make the straps in that color anymore. Anyhow, it didn’t have all the features of the new models but it was reliable.
