Sports and diets, that was my personal theme along this 2013. Since this two things became my daily activity, i never forget to use G-Shock on my wrist. I do like G-Shock since i was in senior high school and the addiction became more crazy this year. Mission impossible was one of my all time favorite espionage movie, DW-5300 was chosen to accompany Ethan Hunt during all of his mission. Unfortunately we don't find Ethan Hunt wearing G-Shock in MI-4, Ghost Protocol, except his partner Benji who use GX - 56. I do have a DW-5300 before but the condition was poor since the age but i have now in LNIB condition plus the original box... Amazing. The distinction of DW - 5300 was the watch was produced outside Japan, that's why all G-Shock lovers in Japan have to find it overseas. Feature and specification of the watch as follows:
- Time display in 12-hour or 24-hour format. In regular timekeeping
mode, the current home time is displayed to the second, along with the
month, date, and day of the week, without any button presses.
- Auto-calendar correctly calculates month lengths, leap years and days-of-the-week between 1985 and 2029.
- Alarm: One alarm. An unusual feature is that in addition to
the hour and minute, a month and/or date may optionally be set, so the
alarm will only sound during the specified month or on the specified day
of the month.
- Time signal (hourly chime.)
- Dual time: Hours and minutes can be set separately for a
second time zone (seconds are synchronized with the home time.) The
current home time is also displayed in dual time mode.
- Countdown timer: Can be set for any duration from one second
up to 24 hours, in one-second increments; optional auto-repeat function.
The current home time is also displayed in countdown timer mode.
- Stopwatch: 1/100th second, with one split; rolls over at 24 hours.
- Illumination: Backlight is via a tiny incandescent bulb at the left edge of the display.
- Reminder mark: A peculiar feature seldom seen on newer
watches, this is a user-enabled display flag which slowly blinks in all
modes. It has no function except to serve as a visual reminder to the
wearer.
- Shock-resistant design, intended to survive a 10-meter fall.
- Water resistant to 200 meters.
- Battery: One lithium button cell, CR2320 in older models
(module 691) or CR2016 in newer models (module 901.) Either was expected
to last ten years or more.
You gotta to love the square... :) Enjoy the picture bellow which originally came from my hands not Ethan Hunt please... :p
