Power Lume!
After being absent for a few days and having a lot of doubts about this piece, finally took it from its box and give it some wrist time.
One thing that I loved about this Seiko was its luminous soul, so I manage to give it a boost with a Coast lamp found on the bottom of a drawer.
After stare at it for several minutes I realize that I was mistaken all the time, suddenly have an epiphany and fell in love again.
So, the topic is... Have you guys been tired of a watch and then for some reason or maybe just randomness fell again for it?

One day in Spring 2022, I woke up wanting an unusual complication on an analog G Steel: an analog countdown timer. The GST-B100 G2A caught my spouse's style-smart eye, and I too was enticed. After 2-3 months for some warrantied repairs for the second hand, I had a very nice watch with some ahem-- character. I'm again into my beautiful, comfortable, rose gold and ai-iro blue fully analog #gshock, even though...
Colors are muted
Lume is limited
Creating a new timer or changing the time on the fly is essentially impossible without either taking off the watch or using the app.
Web time sync using bluetooth means another app and not unlikely more of my data dripping into private databases
In order to directly show that 0 minutes 30 seconds remain on the timer, the minute hand on the timer sub-face needs to be calibrated to a neutral at 59 rather than 0.
At certain times of day it is difficult to view countdowns and stopwatch info at critical moments under 1 or 2 mins.
Though it's in great condition-- as far as I know, the only one in such condition for web sale, and no one wants to buy it from me for a slight discount vs what I paid, partly because Casio.com continues to list it at about a 50% discount but sold out (whhhhhy!).
I'm not wearing it since it was listed it for purchase, but it has returned to my heart, and I expect it will soon be on my wrist again and off the web market. It's incredible and I think it will be loved again.
All the time … by changing out the strap or bracelet 🤙❤️
Yes, and most of the time either changing the strap/bracelet or stop wearing it for a while helps
I do and that’s why I never sold a watch of mine.
Never got tired of this one, but it does have blowtorch lume that even beats Seiko (not an easy thing to do).

I was watching a You Tube awards ceremony by the NYPD for members who had perfect attendance. The couple of cops who had 35 years (no sick) were given a custom NYPD Seiko watch. The guys who got 40 years (no sick) got a gift card. I would tell them , keep the card, I want the NYPD Edition Seiko. I'd like to see a photo of what it looks like or is it just engraved.
