A new G-shock. GW-7900b-1 I've been eyeing this watch as a workout watch for the last 2 or 3 months. Yesterday I bit the bullet. It's freakin beastly. It's radio-atomic synchronized, and solar powered, so you never have to replace the battery. On a full charge the battery lasts for 9 months without any sunlight! The watch has a tide meter, moon phase, multiple time zone, automatic DST and up to 5 alarms. It also synchronizes itself automatically with one of 6 or 7 atomic radio transmission points across the globe. I've never been a fan of G-shocks till I saw this blacked out model with the screws... it was named number 8 on Time Magazine's list of top ten gadgets of 2009
paired with my other black beast.. The Skyland Blacksteel:
with the DSSD:
Really similar size to the skyland Blacksteel:
Six atomic radio bands.. for being perfectly in sync:
Lume is pretty cool and can be set to sense your body movement and automatically light up when the watch is moved and tilted to a "watch glance" position towards the wearers face (of course it has a light sensor that will allow this to happen only when it's in a dark environment):
It's got wrist stabilizer straps to keep the watch centered on your wrist:
The wrist shot:
This watch will be my new travel beater, and workout watch. You guys should see some of the tests they put these g-shocks through!
p.s. Thnx Mastermind for your wrist shots of your Japanese model that really pushed me over the edge!
