Looks like they redesigned it based on the Rangeman.

This is currently on my "oh dear, I like that, I think I want one" list. I've tried one on, decided I'm not prepared to pay the £650 list price (here in the UK), even had the AD over me the obligatory discount (still at £550). Then done the find it at a 'real' price. Then contemplated it. Nearly pressed BIN a few times. Asked myself "would I wear it?", "is it too big?", "do I really need another watch?" (yeah - you know that one!!).
Its very nice btw. Sapphire crystal, buttons that are actually easy to press, superb quality, very legible, a tad big, nice strap, loads of functions I'll never use, solar powered, radio sync'ing.
I quite like the yellow strap combo but pretty sure I'll get the dark green one.

I have one of these Vyn, but the buttons are nigh on impossible to press (to the point where I don't!!). You need a Mudmaster  |

Lol, no I don't Simon  I have various protreks pathfinders and mudmen, that I no longer wear, it was a 'seemed like a good idea at the time' thing. I have one of these Vyn, but the buttons are nigh on impossible to press (to the point where I don't!!). You need a Mudmaster |

I like that it's big. I love that the buttons are easy to press. I understand the issue with the original mudman. My solar is w bit better. Also very impressed with the sapphire.
Might have to wait for their arrival in creation watches ect

Yuck. Like wearing a smoke detector on your arm. Big slab of plastic with flashing lights.
I like the original G-Shock, but most of the later ones are dogs.

I think you owe the OP an apology for your uninvited remarks. That wasn't a thread entitled "What Do You Think Of Casio Watches". He has some Casio watches that he likes and enjoys wearing, and you come along and disrespect his decision and try to make him feel small by telling him his watches are crap. "Most of the later ones are dogs"? The current lineup Casio G-Shock and Pro-Trek watches are some of the toughest and most reliable timekeepers on the planet...anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't done their homework. You don't like them? That's fine. But you shouldn't denigrate another person's choices in watches. It's rude. |

I apologize if offense was taken. It was not intended. I wrote this brief post on my way out the door. I know lots of people love G-Shocks, in all of their incarnations. I don't. |
