Reminds me of the Seiko Solar Tuna in black and gold (SNE498).

Might be something to watch for if Walmart puts it on sale.
Very cool. I found this video of an alt. colorway -- MRW-S310H-1BV -- and the design sure is attractive. Seems to be hard to find even at msrp, as I google around.



This shot from RedDeer is appealing, too:

Casio decides to pick up the money laying on the floor and is releasing a metal version of the 2100's.

Silver, green, red and blue versions. Silver:

The modded blue with the black bezel and positive display at the end of this video does make me like these a bit better. Doing the same with the OD green/orange version would probably be even cooler.

Good look here at the three new GA-2100 colorways.

[bbvideo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBU0iXEGj3k[/bbvideo]

I'm kind of interested in the blue one if it can be had for a good deal. Doubt I'd wear it regularly, but that cobalt blue is one of my favorite colors.

The one I wear the most is the clear band model in the Ali-Express blacked out bezel and band. But I like the looks of my gray model the best, it just stands out more, which I don't always want.

Looking around Ali Express, there's a new style of casioak metal bezel/bracelets. For when you want your G-Shock to not look a thing like a G-Shock.

New version of the 5610, the 5610U. Popped up in my google news feed.

TLDR: Minor UI changes like date format options and stopwatch display. Change in backlight.

Not sure if this still have a different bezel than the 5600's. I think the two toned 5610s that weren't solar/MD6 were more like the 5600, but I'm not sure.

Old on the left, new on the right (see the light text missing the "EL")?

I haven't been keeping track of g-shock nato adapters, but Google threw this ad at me and I thought it looked pretty good.

Barton will sell you "black PVD" adapters and a seatbelt NATO (various colors available, black or silver hw) for $31.50 incl. free shipping. 22mm, which I think is a good width for a square. As you can see, the adapter could be used with a two piece strap, though I expect the effective L2L is pretty big.

Google also mentioned a promo: buy 3 get 15% off with code Upgrade15

Strap & Adapters:
https://www.bartonwatchbands.com/produc ... nato-style

They sell the adapters by themselves for $13.50 -- Google ad suggests the promo works for these too:
https://www.bartonwatchbands.com/produc ... h-adapters

Compatible models: "DW-6500, GW-B5600, GB-5600, GWX-5600, DW-5025, G-5600E, GW-M5600, GLX-5600, GLS-5600, GW-M5630, GW-S5600, DW-D5600, DW-5000, DW-5035, GW-5000, DW-5030, DW-5600C, GW-5600J, GA-100/110/120, GD-100/110/120, GA400-700, GX-56BB, GWX-56"
