Basic Casio G-Shock DW-5600. Cheap and good.

ur requirement is like the MY gov open tender. the requirements in the tender can only be satisfied by ONE company hahahhahah

One of these would be a good idea. And fits right in your budget.

Just curious Chris, you seem to have alot of watches. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't you have 1 like tool watch or daily beater that you can wear to badminton?
I used to wear my Tissot T-Race... now it's my Sinn U1 ;D
Or is the WIS inside you poisoning you with the I "need" but it's actually I "want"? :Laughing_on_floor:
-
Yes, alot of watches
but can't wear leather strap n bling watches right?
Tried sinn u1, but the watch head too heavy n will swing little
n lazy to set time twice a week
so I need a watch I put on to go for the game n put a side when back home
once a while I can wash it with tooth brush
looks like g shock is the only choice
-
I see, you need a "grab n go" I guess...
You play left handed?
Anyway, yeah, I G-Shock would be best.
Just walk in to any shop selling G-Shock n see which one you like lor. 8)

I have 2 watches for sports, a Tag Golf TW and also a Suunto G4. Both are made for golf but the TAG far more comfortable for sports as it is light and not too big.
-
Well, I wear a Nike Triax when I go running. Feel comfy and ez to go ...
-
Strongly suggest g-shock-their Riseman,frogman or mudman is something more stylish for badminton..light weight! Cool!

I m. Dun un, msia everyday got sun light, one of the biggest solar panel producer in the world n yet our gov never promote solar power, went to ask bout the Suria 100 subsidy, very limited budget n as a normal person like me can never get it!!!
Can't afford to build a solar power house, So buy solar power watched lor.

am with Suunto T4c (Volcano). This is a nice piece of gear...thin & light, good looking and it's gather a lot of workout data. I've been using it for about 2 month now.
Oregon or timex also another great options!
-
nice. wanted to get this 1 but it the model that comes with world band cannot be found locally. as a result bought another brand.
-
Thnx for all the advice.

Bro, please don't say thatlah. Still lots to learn.
Anyway your G-5600E has the new module which is similar to the one fitted to the GW-5600 series (minus the wave ceptor). The model that had the problem was the G-5600-1 which had the battery charge indicator that looks like a leaf on the top left hand side. Just keep the warranty card just in case. I have had the rechargeable battery changed on one of my G-5600 and an another had a module change. All FOC as it was still under warranty. The battery in your watch is not the standard CR series battery but is most likely the CTL1616 battery.

how does the battery last abet it is a rechargeable batt?

Should be a long time. Based on standard rechargeable battery with 1,000 charge cycle, if daily charge, 3 years?
-
If anything less than 5 years y use rechargable? Technologically Sexy? For some watches it can go for 10 years
-
True, but as with most batteries, I prefer the charge cycle to 'end' before the 'life' cycle of the batteries end. For example, the Casio watches with 10 year batteries. I suspect the battery will leak before the 10 year life is up (Casio has had complaints on this).
