Casio combi bracelet for square G shock- smooth vs textured
Posted: Mon Dec 02, 2019 8:53 pm
Hi,
I've got a new GWB5600AR-1 (Red Adrenaline) on the way and am wondering which Casio combi bracelet would is more comfortable/better quality?
The older one has a texture while the newer one does not. I think either would fit as they work with 16mm spring bars though the shoulder width for the textured one is 27mm while the smooth one is at 26mm. Not sure if that is significant. Textured one is about USD 30 more than the smooth ones when compared at watchbattery.co.uk prices.
Textured - available with CASIO GW5600BCJ-1 in/since 2006
Casio part no:10440757, alternative part no 10188774
Price:£65.99/USD 85.35 - https://www.watchbattery.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... 0757.shtml
==============
Smooth
(Casio part no:10575397)- available with CASIO GWB5600BC-1 in/since 2018
Price: Price:£42.99/USD 55.60 - https://www.watchbattery.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... 5397.shtml
Pacparts prices much higher when i compared as shown below. Also notice the prices are higher the other way round unless(strange?): Another vendor with decent reviews online is Tiktox from a while back. The original owner died and business has changed hands several years back. i don't know how reliable they are now and prices seem to be a little more if not close to watchbattery. Link to tiktox is here https://www.tiktox.com/.
Looking at the prices, maybe better to get a new watch that comes with either bracelet and just swap over if so desired. I've read some reviews saying the textured version scratches easier then the smooth version but opposing views as well. Your experience and comments on the bracelets is appreciated
