Nope no problems thus far with the batteries. Anyway, it is all part of the fun. Monthly chore.

Just a collector. All the watches have never been worn (at least by me). Next time I will post the other watches in my collection.

You're Ivan from Taiwan? I've seen ur blog b4 and seen u lurking in other forums. U're what I call a mental watch collector.  ;D
I think u're one of those in the same league as Sjors, well almost anyway. No one can catch up to Sjors since he is already approaching 500 G-Shocks.  :P

Yes I am. Mental Watch collector? Been called crazy but never mental watch collector. Guess it is the same? Sjors? Yeah he is really big into g-shocks. Seen the pictures where all the watches covers his bed? I am not even close to WahWahWah (Hong Kong). He has an awesome collection more so Froggies.

Another favourite, the Team Tough watch.



6100



6700



GM100

A mental watch collector is one who has gone way pass a crazy collector.  ;D

Yeah WahWahWah's G collection is awesome but one of his watches that makes me drool everytime is his 1999 limited edition scubapro tuna.  :thumbsup:

I've had my Frogman for well over 7years and its still holding strong.
Granted i dont wear it much and never swim with it before. But the white color of the watch has turned abit yellow.
