Cool-looking update - thanks for sharing! Did not dig into the specs; are these solar?

Somewhat different.

Bioceramic is a mixture of ceramic and bio-sourced (ie. from plants) plastics while biomass plastic is simply bio-sourced plastic.

G-Shock's 40th anniversary is around the corner. Seems like only yesterday I was obsessively visiting Macy's site hoping to snag a hot 35th model.

Casio is getting very fragmented on it's phone apps that support their bluetooth watches. I now have FOUR apps on my phone required to support my various Casio watches:

Casio Watch app
G-Shock App
G-Shock Move App
Pro Trek app

I worry about the security issues Bluetoothing the watches. I've heard that the US military does not allow any Bluetooth G-Shock watches worn by their troops, particularly for tracking vulnerability potential.

The military piece makes sense, since they utilize Bluetooth LE. Stores have been known to use that to track shoppers along with just watching phone MAC address locations.

Once again feel like I won the lotto. Found an Amazon Warehouse Casio DW5600MS-1CR G-force. I was specifically chasing the red LED for another titanium kit upfit. Amazon looked to have the best price @ $87……but the AW unit listed as “used very good” was $65. Zero risk with Amazon’s liberal return policy. Trigger pulled and honestly there’s not a mark on the watch, the packaging is perfect……not sure why it wasn’t graded ‘as new’.

Went with the black metal kit on this one (steel vs titanium) for $50. I like the titanium but honestly the all steel isn’t all that heavy on the wrist. Not a bad beater for $125. Also like the way this one lights turning blue.
