Stumbled across this seller looking for comps. Not a large selection of G-Shocks but they have some unusual models:

This seller has a larger collection plus interesting models, including Casio & Protrek:

Adding some eye candy -- this is from HBX:

Sadly I had to cancel my Bodega g-shock order. Apparently orders taken during a sale can take up to a month to receive. The Tillys deals softened the blow though. Ended up buying 3 from them. Bodega was great. Sent them an email early this morning and I already have my refund.

That's weird. Will keep that in mind. Never really in that much of a hurry, but that seems silly. Wonder if some of those sale items are being shipped from store inventory like Macy's does?

Made no sense to me either unless they are selling inventory they don’t own or severely under-staffing shipping and receiving. Everyone I’ve bought from ships and receives within 7 days. Heck, even some of the AliExpress stuff arrives in under 2 weeks. Oh well.

If they're shipping from local stores, it would take longer as they're not efficient at doing that I'm sure. I know Macy's does that because half the time you get the wrong box or something else screwed up. Academy also does it for clearance items, because I've ordered shoes and gotten them in no box with store sales tags on them.

Absolutely zero delusions that these will ship, but at this price I had to at least give it a try. Used PayPal and Discover so covered either way.

I ordered a set priced crazy like that. Retailer name changed to something random just like that and I had to dispute.

If you go to the store page and look at all items for sale, I only see 4 total orders.

Finally got one of these thanks to the deal posted at a price too difficult to resist.

How do I set the sun rise/set to show my local info?

Is it Sunrise/Sunset or Tide? I thought it had tide settings. To get that localized you go into the app and select a location on the beach.

So I have to select a beach in my area? I was trying to just select my neighborhood and it wouldn't save the location. I have zero need for tide info but sun rise & set is useful.
