I’ve always had an interest in gadgets, GPS, PDA, phones, you know, those small little electronic wonders. When it comes to electronic watches, I had my eyes on Casio’s Protek series for quite some time (they come with compass, temperature/barometer, and altimeter.) However, since I am cursed with a small wrist, wearing a Protek is akin to a 10 year old riding on Harley, it just wouldn’t work.

Casio G-Shock Riseman G-9200

The G-Shock series, on the other hand, were just nice in size as well as durability, but a little lacking in electronic wizardry. I had a G-Shock more than 10 years ago and loved it, but now I am looking for something that can do more.

Then came the Riseman G-9200, the G-Shock that incorporate twin sensors, with the ability for temperature/barometer as well as altimeter measurements. The little gadget also runs on solar power, protected with 200M water resistance, packed electro-luminescent backlight, world time, countdown timer, stop watch, shock resistance. However, it doesn’t cook dinner for you.

Casio G-Shock Riseman G-9200

I knew I was going to buy it the moment I read about it on the forums. I waited patiently until the international version is released (Japan version is GW-9200 with waveceptor) and called my regular watch shop. Collected this gem a couple of weeks ago and now I have my 2nd G-Shock (I messed up the first one after trying to change the lume battery myself.)

Casio G-Shock Riseman G-9200 case back

I am still struggling to remember how to operate all the functions, loving the altimeter as it even allows me to record and track my ascent to my KLCC office. The temperature function is pretty neat, and I can even “predict” weather (somewhat dubious accuracy) with the barometer. One other nifty feature is the auto EL function where I can set the back light to lit up whenever it is dark and the watch is tilted to my head.

Visually, I also like the bat-mobile look alike styling, very tough and purposeful. The case back has a little dragon engraved, symbolizing it’s oriental origin.

Nice right? Now my trusted Orange Monster and Nighthawk will be getting a little less wrist time to make way for the Riseman

    Surely it has the function to order takeaway pizza when your blood suger drops below a the healthy level, right?

    Lorna,

    An upperclass twit/tryhard Bangsarian would probably pronounce it “Mour-risse Leh-crua” with sweet in your mouth. *(the “cr” sounds like a “q”)

    e.g. Excuse me Sir, can I enquire as to the price of the black and silver Mour-risse Leh-crua watch on the upper left shelf?

    I much prefer “Moris Lakroik”
    e.g. Excu me, the nice black & metallic Moris Lakroikwatch how much ah?

    Afterall its your money. If you’re going to buy an expensive watch, at least have some fun doing it.

    The watch looks good, but I don’t wear watches except during workout sessions when I wear one with a timer. Rely on my handphone and the position of the sun for the time : )

    Ahlian so what?
    Money is money. Match the Moris Lakroik with some Sg Wang duds & coloured hair. People will think you’re following Paris* Hilton fashion.

    * Paris (the city) in french sounds like “Pareee”.
