This is the official GPW B E A S T THREAD OF AWESOMENESS the only purpose of which is the glorification, showing off, celebration and general awesomisation of our BEASTs....

If you have a GPW. If you are skydiving with it from a Space Capsule. If you are driving 300kph on a race track in a Bugatti Veyron Spider. If you are piloting a WW I fighterplane. If you are eating a XL doublecheesegoldencrust megapizza with pineapples and barbecuesauce all by yourself. If you are doing anything remotely awesome while wearing your BEAST - we want to know. We want to SEE it. So far these incredible devices have been shown in their cozy little boxes, on their pillow surrounded by dark leather and golden writing.

This ends NOW! And this here is the place to show off your heroic deeds! GO! :rodekaart :rodekaart :rodekaart :rodekaart :rodekaart :rodekaart:rodekaart

BTW, for those who are curious about the size of these beasts, here are some comparison photos with a GW-A1000. I was quite curious myself before I got one and I could not find many comparison photos for me to judge. Let these be another "educational" photos for those who not fortunate enough to have their local store stock these babies. I drove about 45 minutes in traffic from where I live to live handle these beasts in every colour except RAF version.

BTW, I have a very skinny ass 6.5 inch wrist. These shots make it look even smaller because I had to move those watches to the side of my wrist to reduce the glare.





Here is a better wrist shot I took a couple of days ago:



I used to have a fatter 7 inch wrist a few years ago, when I was 30kgs (66lbs) heavier!

Hi all, I'm a recent convert from automatics and I'm interested in this model of g-shock however I'm curious about something I couldn't find an answer to, even in the manual.

Underneath the the dial there seems to be another hand down there from the photos on a dial that goes around the outer edge of the bezel reading from .1 to .9 behind everything else. Does anyone know what it's for or even what I'm talking about?

I do see that scale on the dial 0.1 to 10.0 (which is 12 o'clock )...
And each mark in between is 1/20 or .05seconds...

Hey guys, just a quick question. I did a manual sync and it got the correct time and timezone but just hung on the t+p configuration until I pressed the button again. I then pressed the button once to check the signal received and it points to 'No' but then goes and shows me the correct timezone and approximate latitude. I've tried manually syncing it a couple of times since and it seems to work but gets stuck on the t+p until I press a button. Should I be waiting longer for the GPS to finish working?

Hi new member here kinda sorta. Got my BEAST yesterday. I owned a Gulfmaster GWN1000C for a while but sold it to afford the GPW. Wish I had both... maybe I'll buy the gulfmaster again in the future for it's triple sensor features plus its looks.
Love the beast. I actually thought it'd be a bit bigger! I am liking the orange band too. Was considering ordering a black band for it, but I'm going to hold off.

Hey guys,

Just tried another t+p sync and waited a good 10 mins or so outside. It eventually resumed timekeeping mode but when I press the button once to check last sync it indicates 'no' still but then goes on to show me timezone and approximate latitude.

It was a bit overcast so the sunlight wasn't very bright. Not sure why its not syncing properly.

I can see possibly the overcast being an issue. I could not get my 1B to sync near my apartment but when I went to another location it did in seconds. I think I was too close to the building when I tried originally. Have you tried another location? Other than that I am afraid I am still trying to get used to the ins and outs of mine so I am not sure what else I could suggest other than what's in the manual.
