New watch for YowCH – G-Shock GA1000FC
YowCH got hooked on the G-Shock Mudmaster that his ex-colleagues gave him, and decided to get a nice dress G-Shock for daily use. He was initially looking at a black metal G-Shock, but most metal models are way too large and heavy, and very costly (more than $350.00, up to $3000.00). Moreover, the current G-Steel models have a very sharp-scratchy connection to the band/bracelet, easy to scratch just about anything.
Finally, he settled for this black Aviation GA1000FC-1A Aviation model, with compass, thermometer and fine resin composite band (resin and steel), making the watch much lighter yet strong and scratch-proof. Listed as $349.00 at City Chain, he paid $298.40 for the watch after discounts.
Here is a photo comparing the Aviation against the larger Mudmaster GG1000-1A3, and the Seiko 5 which he wore since August 2014.
The Mudmaster was listed as $469.00 at City Chain, and should be $401.00 after discounts.
He will be wearing the Aviation daily for work and home, and the Mudmaster for weekends (sports) and holidays.
