G-Shock G-2210 review and info

[detron]

   G-shock-itus has set in 

@Aloha007 sent me a G-shock    and I must say, this is another great watch.   

My only issue now is that each watch has something the others don't, none of them have it all!

My GD-350 has a beautiful negative display and vibration alerts.
the Rangeman has sunrise/sunset, and triple sensors
This G-2210, has a day counter that I love, and the ability to store names and numbers.

So here we go, G-shock circa 2001
This is a G-shock G-2210  module 2278





and the light is very green, but does a good job of becoming readable in the dark.




It does have a nice look to it and I am very happy to have it in my G-shock collection!  thank you Aloha, for your generosity!     

the day counter feature is cool,  I programmed my start time with my employer, and can easily check and see that I have 5,560 days towards my retirement.

I love watching hte second sounter that works it's way across the top, and this watch helps me realize that I should have discovered G-Shock watches ages ago, instead of the bottom shelf crap I bought.  oh well, I know am aware of them, and I will check the flea markets every chance I get.

since this watch is older, I was not able to find as many videos to share, but it is a great watch anyway.

5,560 days

I don't even wanna think how much I have left till retirement. They'll probably change it till then.

BTW, you're developing a bit of an G-Shock collection. A possible new addiction on the horizon.

This has been my everyday beater for about 11 years.  Some cosmetic issues as you would expect but otherwise still works perfectly, considering it's been used and abused. Think I am coming to the end of the life of its third battery.

first, fyi, that is days I have been employed,  I have about 7,200 days until I can retire  (if they do not change the requirements on me)

and yes,  these things are amazing.  I HOPE to just start looking at flea markets and such,  I do not want to keep buying new ones
