Title: G Shock DWX 110M Extreme G-Lide as used by SCUBA divers
Post by: dks on October 03, 2015, 02:38:04 PM: A rare beast indeed.

produced mainly for the Japanese market in 1999
not many around and not many spare parts around either

http://mygshock.com/wiki/DWX-110M-8T

I rarely use it as it is designed for narrower wrists.
A proper collectors item.

Green colour, but it must have had a silverish coating on the plastic/rubber parts originally.

good overall condition, with no scratches on the glass but some small marks on the body.
The strap is in good condition

Works well. All functions are fine.

The battery cover clasp (inside the watch) does not secure perfectly/easily, but this does not affect the overall watch (I did not try to correct it as it may be just me doing it wrong.

It has been cleaned and lubed.
The water resistance seems OK, but it has only been tested in a glass of water :)

1978 Module
http://mygshock.com/casio-manual/1978/
http://mygshock.com/wiki/DWX-110M-8T

EL backlight
-20C design
Stopwatch, countdown, autolight, alarm.
Shiny silver LCD screen with greenish characters that turn blue when lit.
Futuristic, unique look

No idea of the actual value because of its rarity, so lets say 70 Euro plus shipping, and work from there :D
offers welcome :D :D

Post by: firiki on October 30, 2015, 10:56:35 AM: I was looking at the watch's features, trying to understand why it isn't gone yet. ??? I mean, honestly, it looks smooth and that's coming from someone who's not fond of digital watches. I think it's because it can't make you a coffee, so not very feature rich. Just a guess.

Apparently, FURUOTOKARENDA means ''Fully auto calendar". :think:

Edit: Japanese transliteration?

Post by: dks on October 30, 2015, 11:00:52 AM: It has a very unusual look, as it was really designed for the Japanese Extreme Sports market, so it does not look like a normal G-shock.

Feature wise it has all the usual features of the average G-shock.

Since that's the case, I suppose I have very sophisticated taste in watches :D

Can you tell me what does the round screen on the upper right do? I've always wondered about those.
Title: Re: G Shock DWX 110M Extreme G-Lide
Post by: dks on October 31, 2015, 02:51:20 PM: it usually just shows the seconds passing

in other watches it shows whether e.g. the alarm or 24h is on or off.

the manual explains it a bit

I do like the design of the case, sadly spare resin is really hard to come by.
Although it´s not really small, it wears nicely even on smaller wrists.
