    My wife was listening when you said the resin band gave you a rash. She blurted out "Best not wear it on your willy then"! I've no idea where that comment came from but it made me spit my tea out!!!

    Jaysandkays are totally awesome! I ordered bull bars from them a few days ago. My order came in on 01/28/21 but what was in the package was convertible adapters. I contacted them with a picture and stated we had a little mixup. Jay responded super fast and was very nice and apologize for the mixup. To my surprise my bull bars came in the mail on 02/01/21!! I contacted them back and asked if they would like me to return the incorrect item, and they stated no. Amazing company and I will be a customer for life!

    I can as well attest to the discomfort of the g shock resin strap. It’s prone to reacting to body sweat in a way that traps dead skin and rubs against the wrist, also collecting more dust and debris than some of its cloth strapped counterparts. I had worn my g shock in the field countless times, in hot as well as cold environments.
    My only other complaint with the g shock is its mass, especially in the more robust models. Its thickness makes it prone to snagging on pack straps, plate carriers and other web gear that is dawned on your person as you go to put it on. The solution to this problem is wearing the watch inboard with the time piece on the bottom of your wrist. However, wearing the watch inboard also makes it more prone to getting caught on crew served weapons or even machinery and tools you may be operating.

    I adore field watches. I'm in the process of pulling the trigger on a Breitling Colt Skyracer, which is an absolute gem of a watch that can be had at a ridiculously low price because it's being discontinued. I have been using a dive watch for the last few years working in the bush, which I find works better than my Suunto Core military (G-Shock alternative) because of legibility. From a wrist watch all I need a quickly legible time display, a date and a timer (all of which an easily be done with a diver). Any other function is accomplished with other devices, especially if I'm in for more than a month. My main complaint about most divers and watches in general is weight, which the Skyracer addresses nicely. It literally disappears on the wrist until you look at it, which is helpful when you're wearing it for weeks while living outside.

    This week I bought a DW5600BBN-1ER - the light on black background. version. Instead of a resin strap, it came already with strap converter on it, and a one piece black canvas strap. Personally I found the strap too stiff - so I've replaced it with a black leather NATO strap

    I purchased the J&K's adapters for my G-Shock DW-5600 because the holes in the resin strap were either just a bit loose for just a bit tight. The option to throw on a one piece Zulu strap so I could adjust the tightness based on activity, sweat, etc. was the draw for me. However, the thing that I did not like about the adapters is they are a one-size-fits-all. Meaning, I like the taper on the bracelet but the adapters don't follow the taper of the watch and look kind of big and clunky. I also didn't like that the only option I have is to use a 24mm strap. Also, as another commenter said the whole watch slides/rotates around your wrist so it doesn't hold it firm. I ended up not using it as it didn't give me the benefit I was looking for. Kind of bummed out because I like the option and would have probably paid a bit more for something that is custom to that style watch. Why doesn't Casio give us strap options?!

  • @wesskinner
    @wesskinner 5 років тому

    Got my first G-shock recently - a GMW-B5000-1 (the metal square with negative display and resin band), and the first thing I did was put the JaysandKays adapters on it and throw it on a Barton Jetson. I never could get into G-shocks (or Ironman watches etc) because of the resin straps, but with a comfortable seat belt NATO it's quickly becoming my daily wear watch for when I'm out and about. Just fair warning - the "spring bars" on these metal squares are so much more of a PITA to remove than the one you show here.

    Good move on the JaysandKays. I got the same problem with plastic straps. Put the adaptors and a NATO on my Casio GPR B1000 last years. Much better. Now to get picky. The single strap you put on is generally called a Zulu. Double strap is a NATO. I tried a Zulu on the GPR but the watch is so heavy that when putting it on or taking it off it wanted to slide off the strap. Switched to a NATO and solved that problem. Ditch the Bull Bars. Yes they look nice and offer a bit more protection but they like to snag on stuff. Very annoying jerking your wrist.
