Garish, Metallic G-Shocks ..Whatever GA200SH and G8900SH

Well, yes, it is a little confusing. What has been released in Japan (January 2013) as Metallic Colors is being labeled in the USA market as Garish Colors. Adding to the mystery of their series naming, Casio released a set they called Garish Black, back in May 2012 that were hardly what we’d consider garish and are not at all cosmetically related to this new series. But what’s in a name, anyway?

Metallic Colors Series G-Shock Watches GA-200SH-1A, GA-200SH-2A, GA-200SH-8A

These, just released in Japan, large, analog-digital, antimagnetic watches are all about the metalic finsih resin case and strap and bold color dial details.

This is a new model, themed “gear motif” in it’s dramatic three-dimensional face layout, is G-Shock’s most busy dial to date. It first appeared as a 30th anniversary model, GA-303B, in a blue and black colorway. It, like it’s predecessors in the various GA lines, (the analog-digital hybrids,) is large (52mm), features anti-magnetic movement, and has the signature integrated resin strap with doule-tang buckle fastener.

Initial Blue G-Shock – 30th Anniversary Limited Editions ..And a New Model

Well, if the Rising Red watches were too colorful or youthful or plastic looking, then maybe this new series of conservative blue on black wrist watches, due out in Japan on January 25, 2013 will be more to your taste. In the mix are two Bluetooth (one each 5600 and 6900), two atomic and solar (a MudMan and a RiseMan), a good ol’ GA110 (actually GA113) and a new model, the GA303.

Buying G-Shock by the Pound

Surfing the web, checking out what’s going on around the world can be so informative that I make sure at least once a day that I spend a few minutes perusing far-away web sites in the Orient, Africa, Europe, South America and even the wilds of New Jersey. And sometimes I make such startling discoveries that I am compelled to share them in one of my blogs with all my friends.

Series: AWG-100 and AWG-M100……… G-SHOCK WATCH PICTURE GALLERY

So, the cool thing about the AWG G-Shocks is they are not so popular that they are ever out of stock or out of the hands of the deep discounters. As much as each of the dozens of models of G-Shocks (in general) are unique; features, layout, colorways, etc., they are the same – at first glance, you can tell it’s a G-Shock but you won’t know which one it is. The AWGs look like the ani-digi lines in general, with their black plasticky thick bumpy roundness, stubby hands, and cheesy strap, and require closer scrutiny to discern that they are, indeed, not one of the trendy new GA110s, 120s, 150s or 200s. They are the pleather of watches.

Citizen Proximity Watch for iPhone AT7030-05E & AT7035-01E

“You Got Mail”
Taking a strictly analog dial into the digital world of smartphone remote management has its shortcomings. This new series of watches from Citizen will tell you that there is activity, ie, incoming call, email, or appointment, but it does not tell you what it is – you’ll have to pull out the phone to see if you want to screen the call, read the message or figure out which meeting you’re going to blow off. Preservation of the precious non-digital aesthetic has a price.

GW-M5610-1BJF G-Shock Square Remake of Historic DW-5000C

The designers went all the way back to the beginning of G-Shock history, to Casio’s introduction of the first truly shock and water resistant products back in the mid 80′s. Externally modeled after the original (DW5000C), the new GW-M5610-1B is the thoroughly-modern-molly of entry level multi-function digital watches with it’s movements’ happy innovative Tough Solar charging, Atomic Multiband-6 self-time-setting, perpetual calendar, and automatic EL backlighting.

GW-A1000 Aviation Series G-Shock

The introduction of three new watches in the GW-A1000 (GWA1000) series triples the color options of these more than competent timepieces for owners who desire G-Shock, but upscale. Majorly upscale.
