Great crisp display, weird "sailboat" graphic, nice compact size, oddball e-data feature.
I have a black G2900. In 2003 I thought the e-data feature was awesome haha.

I also love it because it is not as large and "funky" as many of its brethren, which is my preference.

EXACTLY!
I still use the e-data feature on an old G-2300 that I often wear when flying internationally. I keep passport numbers, etc. in there -- and there are times that it is more convenient to just press a button or two on my watch than to dig out the passport or my iPhone. By and large, though, technology has made these old programmable data files pretty quaint.

When I did regularly wear the g2900 I also made good use of the four multi-function alarms(fairly loud alarms to boot) that you could assign a scrolling description to. An awesome feature I would like to see on a newer model with a vibe alarm.

Kronos, As a service to my wallet, please stop posting pictures of watches like these. I now want the GWX-110and a GL-240. I search the web, then find A, how rare they are or B, how expensive they are now. lol They do look good though.

Anyone who has followed my "career" such as it is, knows that I LOVE the DW-650. I always cite this full fledged G-Shock, but ancestor to the early Baby-G's, in response to those inevitable repeated "Can A Man Wear A Baby-G" inquiries.
I've always liked my DWX-100. These G-Lide models never really seemed to catch on.
This is the obviously similar DWX-112.
I don't hear much about the GL-240. And I confess I need to learn more about it myself. But I have always liked it and it gets some wrist time in the summer.

Completely agree. Some of the activity trackers allow you to program all sorts of reminder alarms, but they don't generally come with text
