Your thoughts on the GDF100-1B..

...a forceful early 80's look.

Best line of the day, no matter what the subject! I have epic synthesizer solos and big hair twirling in my brain .

As in, crazy bold-big? Or, crazy bold-design? I haven't seen one in person, so only have internet pics to go by. Another watch I'm considering is the, G9300-1D. These also look pretty big from what I've seen on youtube. Are these watches approaching GA, GD in size?

If you look at everyone's images. Isn't it BOLD? It really is a bold design and make it look bigger than it actually is. if were group shot, your eyes draw into it because it is so bold and thick. Not exactly a bad thing. BOLD is its character.

Nothing against the 80's, I still quite like some stuff from that era, but what bugs me with the GDF-100 is that it is a modern G that has (what I think is) a forceful 80's look.

I had a GDF-100- 1B for a while. What ultimately bothered me was the fact that I didn't trust the readings.

Interesting. I think if any G-Shock has a 'forceful' 80's look, it would have to be the 5600 models.

Just ordered the GDF100-1B

Although different in colour, this thread swayed me to buy it. >> GDF100BB-1 Made in Japan?

i had the red one, and so far it's one of the few G's i regret selling. i miss that awesome LED, that huge wide light button, and the shape is really unique and cool. its a very comfortable, lightweight watch with a great module.

also, importantly so, i think it has maybe the best digital font of all g-shocks. slightly tilted numbers but big and easy to read; not to mention the display is sectioned into 4 parts without being cluttered at ALL, and it has current local time in every mode. i think the GDF is one of the most underrated G's out there.

Unfortunately, the purchase of my first ever G-Shock has not gone well.

I've received an email from the on-line store informing me that they don't actually have the watch in stock, and can't get any more. It took me a long time to decide on this one too. :/

There are plenty available, at least in the UK - not sure where you are.

I like it, as pointed out it is a bold design and one easily recognisable. Big clear display too so frankly ticks all the boxes for a relatively cheap G.

I'd have one.

I'm in NZ.

When they refund my payment I'll look elsewhere. I have found another store which is showing 'in-stock'. But they only offer a 1 year warranty and charge for delivery, whereas the other store offered a 2 year warranty with free delivery.
