Ive been interested in Automatics but a recent experience has soured me on them until I saw the AWG101-1A. This is a analog/digital, atomic and solar watch with lots of the usual G-Shock bells and whistles.
I couldn't find this watch on eBay for anything except from overseas dealers, so I decided to order it locally and eat the tax. Hopefully ordering locally wont be an issue, since this company has mixed reviews.
I plan using this watch on more formal occasions, wearing a PAG40 to a formal function doesn't cut it.
