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
I have always admired this model the most of g-shocks. Now I found one new with a really good price.
I read about the problem with a strap (peeling etc.) I have couple questions regarding that.
1. How common that problem seems to be right now? Is it so with everyone's gpw-1000?
2. Is it possible that the problem has been fixed with watches made later?
3. Is the problem only with black strap?
4. Does anyone know where that combibracelet is sold at the moment with best price?
5. How long do you think spare straps will be available? Should I buy one right now if my strap gets bad? Or are those available after few years?
Received this GPW-1000-1a today! I have always admired this watch but found it too expensive but now I found it cheap enough. I really like it! Not too big. Pictures make it seem bigger but irl it is not so huge.
GPS sync worked perfectly!

<- Does this serial mean that this watch was manufactured in 2016?
"If the second hand moves to 12 o'clock and stops there for some time after the watch is continuously exposed to light, it could mean that charging is not possible due to over-discharge. Contact your retailer and request replacement of the secondary battery."
"If the second hand moves to 12 o'clock and stops there for some time after the watch is continuously exposed to light, it could mean that charging is not possible due to over-discharge. Contact your retailer and request replacement of the secondary battery."
I suspect that the phrase "secondary battery," which does appear more than once, was just the use of poor wording or possibly a bad translation. In other places, it says "a battery" or "the battery." I think there is only a single rechargeable battery.
Also, on the last page of the manual under specifications (believe it's page E-78), it says the following:
Hey! Is that combi bracelet good? I am thinking of buying one even I like this carbon fiber band and it does not seem to peel like some of these have. But I think I would like to have that bracelet also if some day I want to change it. Is it better than resin band?
Also if someone knows where to get gpw-1000 bands and bracelets cheapest tell me So far I found bracelet for about 100euros and about same price with bands.
Not sure what you're referring to when you say "standard blue"??? :-s
I have the black FC bracelet that you pictured there for the GPW-1000. Yes, it fits all GPW-1000 versions. It's very comfortable, some will like it better than the straps. Has the standard microadjustments in the clasp. A very nice bracelet.
Sorry T4PN, I had the 1AER (Blue) version but just ordered the lighter Titanium (TBS).
I'm really liking bracelets over standard straps recently so think this will be a great addition to the GPW. The micro adjustment works better for fine tuning imo.
I just got one a few days ago, it truly is a beast
The bracelet is absolutely stunning:
I haven't expected to like it as much as I do, I thought it would be way to big. It is big, but it's very well balanced. I love the aged bezel!
