So I have to select a beach in my area? I was trying to just select my neighborhood and it wouldn't save the location. I have zero need for tide info but sun rise & set is useful.

I just looked at it and you can only select something on a beach. If you go into the app and move the map to a beach area, you seem to have to select one of the red map location icons.

Thank you for checking. Unfortunately the closest points on the map with red icons are about 1000 miles in each direction of me. Lol.

Looks like I was finally able to pick my location and send it to the watch. [emoji1360]

Now do I HAVE to keep it connected with Bluetooth to save my settings? Can I unpair it so its not always trying to connect with my phone?

Combi style bracelet with green and black bezel? Not sure this works. Probably put it back on the green resin band, but these bracelets are more comfortable.

Too bad the black rubber strap one (in the middle) for $300 isn't solar.

Is it me or is inventory coming way down amongst retailers? I’m new to Casio, specifically G-shocks, and primarily shopping heavily discounted model but still surprised to see how low inventories are getting. Specifically - Bodega, DaddiesBoardShop, MLTD, etc. Maybe it’s just the normal cycle with the 40th Anniversary Editions coming out?

Were you paying attention to Gshocks when the GA2100's came out? That was crazy. I feel it's better now.

There are just so many colorway sku's that are only sold for a season or so that you might see stuff just be there for awhile, then never again. I've got the positive display with green digital camo GWB5600MG that was a seasonal release, but I suspect due to COVID, never really had a lot of stock in the US. I think I paid $125 out of Singapore for one, but now even used ones seem to be $200+ on ebay. It wasn't a limited edition technically, but in reality there just weren't many in the US.

I think there are probably just a lot of models like that. If you're looking for a very specific thing, they may be scarce after a few months. If you're just looking by general model and aren't as picky for the colorway, there's generally something available.

Speaking of seasonal, for some reason I want this even though it's probably more flashy than I like. Part of a new silver series. Positive display, too.

I like its name: "Forgotten Future." The look and the name remind me of Sleeper:

That could be an ideal dial color to put it in a stainless bezel/bracelet set.

Just letting everyone know I had to cancel another THE LUXURY DIRECT order. Two weeks of run around with a bogus tracking number and some BS excuse that the package must have gotten wet or damaged and became undeliverable. 2nd time, so I can no longer recommend these guys.

Amazon had an ‘as new’ for $99 minus 6% bonus for using Discover Card, so net $94. Been wanting one for awhile.
