Casio G-Shock GT-000


This happens to be my 5th Casio Watch but my very 1st G-Shock owned. This watch has been with me since almost 10years and it is still running fine. Thou there are minor bruises here and there, hey this is G-Shock which is not made of MARVEL IRONMAN suit!

This watch was brought from Japan Casio Factory, there is Japanese Characters if I need to save some information in it. The features of this watch:
- Time 12Hours / 24Hours
- Telephone (Shared Storage 100)
- Schedule (Shared Storage 100)
- Vital Stats (Personal Information: Name/Blood Type/Birth/Credit/License.. etc etc Storage 9)
- Alarm (1)
- Stop Watch

I don't think any G-Shocks come with telephone & schedule storage anymore. Both useful but had a hard time selecting characters by pressing 2 buttons.

Bad things happen to this watch over the past 10 years?
-Grey Mode Button faulty / Replace Black Mode Button
-Original Band Buckle was faulty / Replace Normal G-Shock Band (Lighter & easier to wear)

-Authorized G-Shock Shop assistance change the battery for this watch and did not put things back in place which results the watch was drowned when I went swimming in Bukit Jalil Swimming Pool. The shop was closed, I hope they were no longer authorized now.
-1 Month recovery after it was drowned and paid almost RM150 to get it fixed

So far to me this is a fine piece of G-Shock, some people tend to not recognized this as a actual G-Shock watch and had some bad comments on it. But heck, at least mine went to Mt. K.K., London, France, Scotland, H.K., Japan.... (will be more places too)

The time displayed for this watch is until 2039, almost another 30years. So will this watch survive then?
