I have two of these - a 'smoke' version with titanium back I bought new on 7th Ave, NYC, in 2000 (wish I'd kept the box and packaging) and a black one with steel back I picked up some time later (again, no box etc). I use each regularly as my cycling watches. Nice review!
I have the same watch. But mine is a special edition which one have TITANIUM BACK. And it is as new. This is the best G-Shock watch ( I have a lot of G-shock watches), because it is realy so large.
hi all i have been using this watch since 7 years and now its bezel and strap is tearing apart could anyone be kind enough to direct me to a place where i can get spares for this watch....plz...plz
I have this one, MIBII version, nice build with decent functions, but still regretted the purchase.
First-gen solar system means big power module with huge power consumption. Manual power save mode is not convenient. at all. Just look at the recent models, the system works seamlessly and consumes much less power, meaning longer runtime. Further, the telememo has no EEPROM, and EL illumination is not as effective compared with other models.
Nice review. I've had my Raysman for 10 years now (I bought it in Japan when it came out). Fantastic watch. It's still running off the same batter and it's been flawless in all manner of environments: skiing, diving, surfing, you name it. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
You sound a bit like Jeff Bridges

The impressive thing is, after being released 10 years, I've yet to hear a complaint of a battery dying.
