Awesome new Casio (not G-Shock)? Anyone have this watch?

And the really nice part is that you can use any type of strap without having to do any modifications (I have a 22mm Maratac Zulu on it!).

i'd love to see more g-shocks with standard lugs because strap variations are also fun for me!

Oh, and if you really want one (which I recommend) I found one on the bay:

I bought a strap one from the referenced buyer. It's a great watch -- and, the bezel is unidirectional unlike the AWG models. I'm waiting for a yellow dial version.

Jeb,

The bezel on the awm320s are bidirectional. Are you saying this bezel on the wva320 is unidirectional? Thanks.

The watch is all stainless steel with an aluminum bezel that rotates easily in both directions.

I have it.......AND LOVE IT! I bought it about a month ago while in Tokyo - and it has been pretty close to the perfect watch for me. The only things that could make it better are:
*better lume - it drops off at about 02:00 or so.
*EL backlight versus the LCD bulb.
*A snooze alarm

Otherwise, it has been awesome........all of the G-shock guts crammed into a dive watch body. And the really nice part is that you can use any type of strap without having to do any modifications (I have a 22mm Maratac Zulu on it!). It has become my everyday (on and off duty) watch - and I get a lot of compliments on it (people think I spent WAY more on it than I did......only 14,800 Yen!)

Please post some pics, I would love to see your new watch, it sounds terrific with the Zulu.....

My Atomic Solar's bezel is unidirectional with what feels like 120 clicks. Much firmer and tighter than the Amw320s I own.

Very Nice. So another nice improvement over the AMWs. Did you get the resin band or the steel, and how did you like it? I am probably going to wear it w/ zulus most of the time but was curious.

Looks like a very interesting watch. Would love to see some pictures as well!

I got the rubber strap variant. I have the bracelet for the Amw 320 and it's pretty flimsy.
