Excellent Watch
Author's Rating:
It's a excellent watch. It's a nice combination between analog and digital. The only thing I no like is the backlight only lights the digital pane and when you changing the hour or alarm it doesn't lights, it's a problem when you want to set an alarm on the darkness. In general it's a best and durable watch.

Very nice watch for a good price.
Author's Rating:
I ordered this watch because I needed a durable watch that also looked decent. I personally dont like the way digital watches look, but hate the way analog watches lack features. This watch combines both styles very nicely. The watch fits great, which is a plus, becuase many watches I have tried on have been huge. This is by no means a small watch, but looks very nice when being worn. There are a few things I would change however. I would like the dual time zone to be able to be in military time. This is not possible, since it has to be the same as your regular time settings. Also, the light only lights the digital display, which is a pain if it is set to a different function. However, these are two minor things. I am very picky but really love this watch. It looks great and fits great and I have gotten many compliments on it already. Hopefully this review helps.

Excellent sports watch

Awesome watch, great for tough and rough jobs, I recommend this item to very active people that don't want to be concern about damaging their watch.

What I've come to expect
Author's Rating:
Bought this as a "work watch" after doing more damage than I wanted to a much more expensive Titanium watch. I've had G-shocks before and always liked them for what they are, no nonsense and bullet proof. This one lives up to that. Highly recommended.

Rugged and built to last but lacking in features.
Author's Rating:
I have been a fan of Casio watches for quite a while. I always liked them for the numerous features that each watch contained for what I considered a reasonable price. This is my first G-Shock however and while I love it, I feel the guys at Caiso should have packed more features in this model.
Now, I know that we are only talking about a watch here but when you spend $60 on something that tells time and only has a few extra features (aside from its' rugged design) I guess that you'd expect more.
As for the design, what can I say, it is built like an Abrams' tank. This thing was made to take the abuse. The band is thick and so is the watch case although on the wrist, it doesn't feel too heavy. The watch is listed at being water-resistant to 200 meters or 20 Bar of pressure. I am not too good with metric conversion but I would imagine that is deeper than most people would ever encounter in their lives.
The hands and numbers are easy to read but I am going to continue a complaint that others at amazon.com have also mentioned, the hands cover the LCD screen on the bottom of the watch from about 4:30 to 7:50. As the watch hands are not back-lit (they have a glowing material coated on them but it only lasts a few hours), this can make it hard to read the time in the dark, especially if you use the LCD back-light but the hands cover the screen.
Also, I was a bit disappointed with the spartan number of features this watch has. I ordered my wife a pink Baby-G at the same time and her watch and her watch has many, many more features than mine including a full face back-light (something even the cheapest Wal-Mart watch has) multiple alarms, multiple tones, a countdown timer (something my G doesn't have) and much more.
On the LCD you can choose between a display that contains Day, Date, and day of the week, a digital display of the time, one alarm, a stopwatch (but no countdown timer) and a dual time display (helpful if you travel between time zones.)
I feel that it is for the lack of features and some lighting issues that I cannot give this watch 5 stars. It is the watches overall ruggedness and easy to read (in the day-light) hands that keep me wearing it everyday. Think of this watch as a basic military spec Humvee, functional features and a rugged, go anywhere design, but lacking luxuries.

Best watch I've ever owned (for almost 10 years)
Author's Rating:
I had no idea this watch was still produced. I have had one of these for close to 10 years now (I think - I can't remember exactly when I got it now). I can't even remember having to replace the battery yet, and I wear this watch nearly every day. The screen is just now starting to fade so I'm thinking it's about time to put a new battery in. This watch is virtually indestructible. It's taken some heavy beatings and never missed a beat in all these years.
The only drawbacks are the difficulty reading the digital display when the minute hand is between the 4 and 8, and the analog hands can only be adjusted clockwise (falling back takes awhile).
Regardless, I would absolutely recommend this watch to anyone without reservation. Unless you lose it, you will never need another watch again.

rugged timepiece
Author's Rating:
Multi-functional, rugged, accurate and decent looking to boot. I found the strap to be a little on the short side for myself. I use the next to the last hole. While the watch case itself is large the acutal dial face is a tad on the small side. The minute hand is a tad too long and the hour hand is a tad too short. The illumination is only for the digital window which is usually set for month/day mode so telling time at night is difficult. Small little things that are not show stoppers, this watch comes from a proud heritage of G-shock development which places this timepiece in the winners circle. I expect to get many years of rugged service from this watch.

Casio Men's G-Shock perfect choice
Author's Rating:
The Casio Men's G-Shock G-100 (analog-digital) was the perfect choice for me. It has a modern design, materials are quite resistant and it lets me have a dual time so that I know what time it is when I call my family on the other side of the world. If you're looking for a sports-type resistant watch that you can take anywhere and that gives you the benefits of the two digital and analog systems, apart from the traditional digital functions (i.e.- stop watch, alarm, date, etc), this is your choice.

Overall Good - Some Complaints
Author's Rating:
Pros: This watch is quite accurate. I've never had to make any adjustments to it and have been wearing it for nearly two years. Still on the first battery. This watch is also incredibly rugged. I am an active, active outdoor adventurer and have ABUSED this watch. It's never once asked me to ease up on it; it just keeps telling me the time. This includes a couple SCUBA dives.
Cons: The light only lights the small digital display at the bottom of the watch. If, like me, you keep the digital display on the date mode, the night light won't help you much. I don't believe this watch has ever leaked, but if the temperature is cool, this watch fogs up. And finally, if the time is between 25 past the hour and 35 past the hour, don't even think about being able to read the digital display at the bottom; the minute hand WILL obscure your view.
Overall this is a great, rugged watch for the price.

Review: I was looking for a watch under $100 that looked both stylish, yet was very tough and functional. This watch (have had it for over 1 and 1/2 years) has lived up to all. It combines the traditional analog face, with a smaller digital window below that... Read Full Review by jmac222, Feb 3, 2006
