Is this a digital G Shock with negative display, or an analog model? Is your displeasure a "legibility" issue, or are you implying that this has something to do with signal reception? (I'm pretty nearsighted, and prefer analog black faces with bold white hands and markers, myself. I have a harder time acquiring the time on a digital watch without conscious mental effort.) I don't have many data points, and live quite a bit closer to Colorado than you do, but find my (newer, larger) Citizen synchs very reliably when positioned properly on my nightstand, whereas my (older, smaller) G Shock doesn't always find a signal at night even on my windowsill. If I were to live in Sydney such concerns would be moot; so I consider myself geographically privileged. /Fr.
