Mine is not that fancy

Over time I've acquired two versions of this one. I ended up swapping the guts/dials between the two, and I like the looks of both better.

Both of these (really all of the Gshocks I have) are solar charged and radio syc'd to an atomic clock.

My first and favorite. GW-9100 Solar and Atomic.

Also one of my favorites - wearing it today.

Mine's a GShock Tough Solar with the synchro time update feature.

No joke, this one (GW6900/DW6600) is the choice for a lot of folks who depend on a tough mission timer.

I actually got it due to the price. Afterward found out it is one of the more solid performers. I wore it today even!

How old is that one?

How old is that one?

Not very old. Probably 3 years old. Got it at G factory Tsim Tsa Tsui.

The reason I asked - if it's been in a drawer for a few months, you should be able to place it on a window sill in direct sunlight and it will wake up in a day or two. It likely doesn't need a new battery.

This is the method with EcoDrive Citizens as well.

Thanks for the tip. I put it in the sun but only for a short while. I’ll try longer.
