    Essentially the same as the one I picked; that one is the predecessor, same functions and size. I think I like the look of the newer version better, although the subdials on this one might be easier to read. Still available on line, but not listed on the G-Shock site, so must be discontinued.

    yeah thing is the stealth ones I don't get and think some times it's harder to read but that's just me but if you like the first one they ant terrible expensive try it if not for you flip and try a different one till you find the one that suits there only a dozen or so that hold all the specs you want so yeah could do worse there a fair few on the bay still of the one , well was when I last looked

    Hello to everybody 😊
    So I have a question for you guys.
    I bought a gw-9400-3er this week and yesterday had arrived. The problem is that on the back of the watch where is this code(where and when was the watch made), there is schratched over that code, so you can't see the code. And also the watch camed without battery.. It was closed, I saw a lot of reviews on internet and never heard or see a watch without battery..
    Did something like this happened to anyone of you? Thanks

    I will make some photos when I go home.
    The watch is bought as new, 269€. The scratches were made intentionally so that the code could no longer be read. (where and when it is made).
    The watch seems to be new, there are no signs of wear or anything. It's just that the series on the back is "deleted" and it came off, completely uncharged. I left it charged yesterday, in the window and last night it was half battery, it works ..

    well mean as solar you maybe possible understand a low battery but surely would go to power save model and then when you was handling it come on but show a low level for the battery indicating a charge needed so hmm yeah not so worry on that score might have been in stock for ages maybe depending where bought in it's box getting no light ..it's the back panel that sounds troublesome too me

    was working on a gulfman will do a shot of the back plate to show you how these casios look won't be exactly the same as not solar but enough to give you an idea.
