When is the 40 year anniversary?

I got the desert one off eBay. It’s nice. I feel it’s a side option to the 1k though. I haven’t worn my mud masters lately cause I’ve been all about a few MTG B1000 models but for rugged toughness you can’t beat the gwg line. I DO wonder why Casio put the 2k out cause if feels like a side grade and not an upgrade.

looking at the stealth 2k and the black 2k with the green strap, I think the stealth model is really underwhelming. Feels like it doesn’t have any personality. Anybody else feel that way?

Funny how we all see things differently.
I think that the grey & black stealth variant is by far the nicest GWG2000. The others have too much red and yellow messing up the vibe for me. My favourite looking MM overall is the green GWG1000.

I kind of feel that we can talk openly about our problem here

The GWG-1000/GWG-2000 are definitely my favourite Gs. Very happy with my A5 & TLC but the more I see it, the more I really want the stealth silver and black. Which, as I also want the new Solar Flare colourway 2k isn't great new for my bank balance!

I mean look at it:




Got my original 1k back on today. This old girl has been through everything... mud, rain, blood & surfing. She's still looking great though.

I must say, as a new member of the club I find the strap fairly uncomfortable. The rubber is much stiffer than I expected. Which strap did you go with from Uncle Straps?

I find the watch to be very uncomfortable. So much so that I never wear it. Within minutes of putting it on my wrist feels a bit sore and I can't wait to rip the watch off. The stupid 'wings' dig into my wrist bone.

Can see this happening, especially if you have a broad, flat wrist. At least the "wings" on the 2K have more "give," more flexibility compared to the 1K. While I'm tempted to suggest the Jaysandkays adapters, which allow for the use of NATOs and other straps, the adapter ends also extend below the plane of the caseback. The ends are farther apart than the stock pieces but inflexible. Also possibly more expensive to get in the UK. I do wish Casio would upgrade the resin bands, especially on more expensive pieces like the GWG muddies. Good luck.

I had the GWG-100 previously and that was comfortable to wear for hours. No issues whatsoever. It had wings and a resin strap but crucially different dimensions.

Last photos of 2040 in my hands, on its way to new owner tomorrow. Will stick to my 1000's for now.

What didn't you like about the 2000 series, or was it just that particular model?

The triple is completed. I do really like this model. When the strap has been broken in, it's actually quite comfortable.
Just have to do somthing about my arm. It seems to be somewhat too short.

Which colour did you get first and which was last? Do you have a favourite?

 

[Injector]

Yes, seems so. And the newest red version. But actually I think these versions are the nicest ones. 😃

Yeah no offence to anyone who owns one but I'm not keen on the red one. I have the green strap GWG-1000 and the black GWG-2000. The latter looks a much more classy and expensive watch IMO.

Some Sunday evening relaxation with my GWG-1000….

Yes, the OEM band is the best solution.

Yeah I think G Shocks on other straps look very wrong. Like the front and back of two different cars that have been welded together. They only suit their original/official straps.

To all you with the gwg1000.....anyone have fitting issues?? I have a pretty large wrist and hand the watch band usually sits on the 4th/5th notch from the end. The issue I'm having is pretty basic as the either too tight or too loose. The watch will walk slightly, pulling hair and resting uncomfortable on the wrist. This watch is brand new only worn twice.....I love it other than fitment.....and before I post it for sale or trade figured I'd reach out for others ideas or solutions.

I have an 8" wrist and wear mine on the last hole of the strap. It isn't tight but due to how the wings sit on top of my wrist the watch is uncomfortable.

I don't think G Shocks look right on anything but their stock bands.

Just bought another GWG-1000 after flipping my previous one.

Can someone confirm that the seconds hand should hit all the markers perfectly? I seem to remember that my old one did however I could be wrong. This new one hits all the markers bang-on for around 3/4 of the dial but goes ever so slightly off in the 30-45s region. Is this normal? My GWG-2000 hits 'em all perfectly.

I still think the 1000 looks better but the 2000 does look more expensive...
