I am looking at either a GW500A-1V or a GW530A-1V.

From looking at them on amazon, it looks like the difference is a couple of dollars and some cosmetic changes. Can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks!

based on the amazon description.. the 530 bezel is resin and the 500 is stainless and its showing the case diameter is slightly different - but other than that they look the same..

here is a informational link

I found one relevent post using google that says one has a 'blacker' face than the other

good luck with the G-shock.. I have a mtg900 that only comes off my wrist to take a shower..

If you want a G-Shock, this is the proper answer.









I wear mine to sleep in, and in the shower.

I wish i had told my wife to drop the extra $30 for the black version  (as shown = mtg910) - But i do love my mtg900

my only complaint is that I wish it had a countdown timer

What the hell is that time memo thing for anyway?  A timer would be a million times more useful.

What does that one do that the ones I am looking at don't? I'm still trying to learn about these. Thanks!

I have the first one in the Gold and Black version. It is a spectacular watch.

+1 more, but in the silver and black.  had it for over 5 years, w/ no problems what so ever.  I thought the battery or solar would've crapped out by now, but it's still goin'.

It's atomic, and solar, so it's always right and the battery will never die out.  I mainly like it because it's got a metal band.  Most people with the resin bands say they fall apart after a couple of years.

I totally agree on the time memo uselessness - I would also give up one of the four alarms for a timer  LOL
