Casio G-Shock G'Mix DW-9500RL

The weather forecast for today was horrible and stormy so I needed a waterproof watch, and this G-Shocks 20 bar water resistance was perfect.

This Casio G-Shock is part of the G'Mix range and is part of a collection with Rock and Tribal themes called Tribal Fist. The watches have a Native American pictograph in the backlight, and this one is for a storm cloud. The designs in this collection were made by Dan L Lomahaftewa.

The model number is DW-9500RL-1T, and the watch was released in November 1998 for 19,000 yen.
It has the normal G-Shock functions of timer, stopwatch, and alarm, but has a couple of additional functions too. The 1940 module also has a bpm feature that plays a beep at a set frequency (which can be switched to light), and a beat function. When the beat function is chosen, you press the front G button at the frequency of the beat you want to measure, and the watch tells ou the bpm.

All of this is shown on the 3 section LCD display. The bottom display is a 6 digit display normally showing time. The top display has a 4 digit row, as well as a dot matrix line for text. The last display is a small dial with 60 segments in a circle counting seconds.
