I find even NOS resins direct from Casio for some of the older models aren’t so great.
I tried to give the redback a bit of love over the last couple of days but the legibility is just so limited.

Yep. I love the look, but the display can be impossible to read. Kind of defeats the primary purpose of a watch.

Quite the collection - Dave’s Quality Meats! I’ve only seen those on the Japanese auction sites. It’s good to see some real wrist shots of these in real light, thanks.
I’d love to pick up a Fox Fire 6900 at some point. Strangely I find the 6900s fit more comfortably than the smaller gshocks like 5600s. As such, I won’t argue against the 6900s, especially given the big, convenient light button.

^ One would think that the heart rate technology would be pretty advanced by 1999, given that Pulsar had a reliable heart rate monitor watch in 1977.
