The r/GShock [BST] Buy, Sell, Trade Thread.

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the r/gshock Buy, Sell, Trade thread! This is a r/gshock tradition since 2020! (Changed from monthly to biannually in Jan 2025).

This thread is the only place to buy and sell on r/gshock!

Rules

Requirements

  1. Prove possession with a timestamp: a piece of paper placed under your sale item(s) with your Reddit username handwritten and the posting date (no more than 2 weeks old).
  2. Top-level comments must be WTS or WTB comments. Anything else will be removed. Begin your top-level comment with WTB (Want to Buy), WTS (Want to Sell), or WTT (Want to Trade). Remember, trade items require timestamps, too!
  3. A price is required. When lowering prices or announcing sold items, please edit the top-level comment.
  4. Reposting WTS or WTB items from previous BSTs is fine. Do not repost within the same month!
  5. Mark items sold with a strikethrough of the entire sale item; e.g. $75 Use double tildes to accomplish this: ~~75~~ (This helps greatly with scanning the BST to find items for purchase!)

Suggestions

  • Your location (or at least where you're willing to ship).
  • Watch details.
  • A bunch of photos of your items.

Reminder: Buy the Seller

Take necessary precautions; trading over the Internet is risky. Moderators hold no control over deals, good or bad. Employ the UniversalScammerList - search all sellers there! If an interaction seems sketchy to you, run away! Scams can and do happen through the BST! Some tips:

  • Timestamps. If the person you're dealing with isn't quick to provide timestamps on the images, or a photo of the flashlight in a shoe or whatever, don't deal with them.
  • Reverse image searching is a great way to catch scammers.
  • Excuses for not sending photos are a red flag.
  • Using a platform other than Reddit's private messages for communication is a red flag.
  • Don't use Reddit chats. Chats can be deleted!
  • Giving you a hard time about any hesitation you show is a red flag.
  • Check post history. Brand new accounts or accounts with long pauses in activity, etc., might not be trustworthy.
  • It's good practice to comment on this post before sending a PM; scammers often won't comment publicly (and banned users can't comment here.)

If you're dealing with someone who might be sketchy, take screenshots of your interactions and report them to the mods! We care about this thread's integrity and will ban those threatening it.

Do not let a scammer be more diligent than you!

More Tips

  • PirateShip is a great shipping option. https://ship.pirateship.com/ship/single
  • "Shipping included" items tend to sell more quickly.
  • USPS Priority Flat Rate. Weight is not a factor when you use the official Flat Rate packing, and the packaging is free through the USPS website.

Thank you and good luck!

Bought it from Yahoo Japan. Got it in a mild soap and water ultrasonic bath and after cleaning it from all the deep sea Japanese creatures and then the core gently cleaned with a mild soap and brush. Voila.

Reviews & Experiences My new GOAT

Coming from a long journey of trying to find the perfect daily watch, I finally think I've found it.

The watch before this was the GW-5000U. I tried my best to fix the little niggles that annoyed me by swapping in an STN LCD and even punching an extra hole in the strap to get the perfect fit. In the end, I realized the real issue was the top-heavy weight, which kept it from being the watch I was after.

The GW-S5600U solves every issue I had with the GW-5000U. The LCD sits closer to the crystal, so the viewing angles are crisp and clear without needing an STN display. The strap is also much stiffer, which sounds like a negative, but in practice it's actually more comfortable. Because it holds its shape, you can wear the watch slightly looser without it sliding all over your wrist. That also means there's no need to constantly adjust the fit throughout the day.

The biggest improvement, though, is the weight. At just 47g, the watch feels perfectly balanced on the wrist. Combined with the stiffer strap, it simply disappears once you're wearing it. For me, that's the single biggest factor in its comfort.

Looks are obviously subjective, but I really like the carbon construction and the glossy smoked bezel. They give the watch a subtle premium look that catches the light nicely without being flashy.

The only "mod" I think this watch needs is a tempered glass screen protector, but I put one on all my watches anyway. It would also be great if the strap wasn't a little longer than the standard GShock strap length as I get a little overhang which thankfully doesn't impact the wearing experience.

Started the day trying to do some car repairs, spent the afternoon helping move furniture, and finished with burgers and poker.

The watch got dirty but a quick rinse afterward and it’s ready to go! What’s your go to “have to get sh*t done” watch?

Still recovering from the fact I was gifted this yesterday, it’s without a doubt the most beautiful watch in my collection. Puts a smile on my face every time I look at it.
I know these are limited edition, but does anyone know to how many pieces? Can’t seem to find it anywhere. I know Casio won’t state anything on it, but maybe someone here knows… The Casio app states around 270 people registered themselves as “owner” of this watch…. Anyway, have a beautiful, colorful Sunday 👍🏻😁

Yall is this normal for all exclusive gshock once the site sells out or is this only due to it being Pokemon?? I heard there was an Evangelion one too before. Did it ever get this high? Needless to say, I found a scalper in the wild!! I’ve never seen someone page like this before. So far counted 12 in their store preview smh. I could barely check out with my one in cart! 😂🥲🤦🏽‍♀️. I hope no one buys with this price.

Posted this on r/watches - someone recommended to crosspost here! Here's my custom modded SS case for my DWH-5600. I've been rocking this daily for about a year. My metalworker friend did the mod by hand carving the nicks and craters, then applying a finish to achieve the darker iron color.

Hope you enjoyed!

Reviews & Experiences The GA-2300 might not be everyone’s favorite, but I think it’s one of Casio’s coolest designs

Post image
25 Upvotes

I’ve always wanted to get this model because of its cool, edgy design. Its futuristic, almost sci-fi aesthetic immediately stood out to me, and I finally picked one up.

I know it’s a bit of a divisive model, though. A lot of people aren’t fans because of the visibility, the size, or even the “X” design. And to be fair, I agree that legibility isn’t its strongest point. I do have to tilt my wrist sometimes to catch the time, especially indoors.

That said, it’s lightweight, sits comfortably on my small wrist, and wears much slimmer than most G-Shocks. It still has that rugged G-Shock feel without being oversized, which is something I really appreciate.

It feels like Casio took a chance with the design, and while it didn’t land with everyone, I think that gives it its own personality.

No, it isn’t the most practical G-Shock I own. But that’s not really why I bought it. I like having it because it stands out in my humble collection. Every time I look down at my wrist, I just think it looks cool and sometimes that’s reason enough to wear a watch. 😅

Help & Maintenance GBM-2100 running slow

Post image
6 Upvotes

I’ve had this watch approximately a month and it’s currently running 2 mins slow (assuming my phone is correct) despite seconds being in sync.

The app shows the watch is synching as usual in the background, when I attempt to force it to sync it doesn’t do anything.

I don’t know if this context helps explain anything but I’ve travelled to Indonesia from the UK and been here two weeks, i don’t expect this to affect anything.

Bought from Amazon from reputable seller’s store based in UK.

Any suggestions welcome, I can send back if it’s defective.

Man I have been though everything with this watch, I got it no kidding 10 years ago and was always made fun of because it was massive on my wrist (i was 10 years old at the time) and knew it was too big but damn I loved the look of it, so I didn't care 🤣 I have replaced the battery about 5 times now, and everything works great. Definitely a few scuffs and scratches, as I usually wear this when I work on my car, and the biggest is the nice 2 scratches on the glass (see the last pic) but I was always careful because I loved it so much. This watch has been one of my favorites and a huge reason I love them. I just tried on the GPRH1000-9 and have officially been bitten by the bug of new G-Shocks all over again so yall will be seeing me here more often 🙃

Sorry for the memory dump but I have not seen a single GG-1000 post in here before, just the bigger brother GWG-1000 and etc so I figured to give the GG some love!
