On my lightly used gwg-2000, I got the RECOVER message (voltage drop needs to recover) after a timer went off and I changed screens.

So my first post in a couple of years is about today’s two arrivals from Casio UK. Full disclosure, I’d had a few beers when I read the email from G-Shock to say these were now available in the UK. Of course I had to have a look and this…

Incoming today, but did Casio get it slightly wrong with the new GW-5000HS-1 and 7?
