Since I started riding, I been trying to built up my stamina and slowly but surely I am enjoying my bicycle trips again. Since September 3, I have clock in 104.8km.
The breakdown:
My longest distance is 20.4KM and the journey is around North Eastern Riverine Loop.
My trip:
My new target is to clock 100km per week but I will start with 60km and plan to do it 20km per trip. Planning to ride every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
When I bought my Tissot T-Touch, I was buying a watch for time with technology. Now coming to two years of using the watch, I need a more rugged watch to use during my exercising such as riding bicycle. So time to check for a new watch. Do I get an exercise watch like Polar or Suunto or just some rugged watch called Casio. The G-Shock models evolved since I last owned one ages ago. The latest models comes with multiple types of shock protection and solar power. With solar power, I don’t need to change battery. Some even comes with radio controlled time adjustment.
After reviewing the type of watches in the market, I decided to go for the G-Shock digital face because I already have an analog watch. Most of the features in current batch of watches are already in my Tissot such as Altimeter, Meteo, Thermometer, etc. So the ideal Casio watch should be square, digital and shock protect.
Instead of one watch, I got two. One for myself and the other for my son. One extra large G-Shock (more on why so large watch later) and one normal size G-Shock (but extra large to my son size).
The extra large watch is Casio G-Shock GX-56 (orange) and the smaller watch is Casio G-5600 (yellow, my son favorite color).
The G-5600 comes with all the basic features:
I guessed the Casio GX-56 also comes with the same features as the G-5600 but bigger.
Plus comes with a tin can for storage.
Why large watch for me. After I tested it I think is just nice size for me. Of course, if you compare it with G-5600.
But if you compare with Tissot
Overall, I quite happy with GX-56….
