We never get the good stuff! Casio in Japan just released this beautiful GW-3000 pilot in orange, blue, and white (I totally love that blue. It’s my favorite lume/color combo). It is waterproof and runs sets itself via radio. It is also a Tough Solar model and can survive masssive impacts.

It can display 29 world time cities and you can swap the home city with an away city. It also has a stopwatch and a calendar as well as a “Furuotokarenda” which is something Google seems to have translated wrong.

It is available this month for about $200.

What do we get? A Shamrock Shake green Baby-G that comes in a recyclable container. I mean I love me some ecology, but I want a Pilot’s watch! This green one is available here for $110.
