CasioG-100 G-Shock Men Watch

I was very skeptical on what this watch would be like... When I received it in the post and opened it, my face lit up... It's so nice to look at, and is very durable... It's nice and chunky as well which I love... I hate small watches! Time keeping on this watch is also excellent... If you love analogue and digital together, then this is the watch for you.... The watch is perfectly packaged too, and the service/delivery is excellent... Will definitely be purchasing more G-Shocks from Amazon... Going to get a collection :) BUY THIS BAD BOY!

I dont generally buy watches for their good looks or follow fashion as a whole, but this watch has both the good looks and is a follower of fashion. Its simple to use, easy to set up, yes i have to agree with many of the reviews i have read before i purchased, that the back light isnt on for long and that it is almost impossible to see the analogue time when in the dark (but thats why theres a back light on the digital clock). The strap is comfy, wide and feels good on my wrist. Apart from not wanting to take it off since it arrived, its a great watch, you just cant get any better. If i could put 10 stars then thats just what i would give.

Its an out and out everyday watch.A great watch for the active working indivuidual.The multi purpose digital time is incrediable. Easy to change time. Clear precise instructions for set-up.Presented in a Metal tin which suits the 'title' of the watch.A comfortable fit and durable resin strap.The light also illuminates the digital display which is ideal for night usage.A Great Price for a Great watch.

This is the second of these watches that I have owned, my wife says that I am boring but I like it. After wearing my last one pretty much every day for ten years, and subjecting it to some rough treatment at times, my last one finally gave up. It still works, but the bulky outer coating cracked and came away.It's a great watch at a great price, the only flaw I have is when changing the time, as we will in a few weeks, you can only wind it forward and not backwards. So if the clocks go back or you are coming home from a foreign holiday where they are ahead, you need to wind it forward by holding in a small button, which is a bit of a faff.

I bought this watch because I do quite a physical job, and have broken a few watches by accidentally bashing them against things whilst at work, but this watch feels very rugged and has survived a couple of bashes already, and I've only had it a couple of weeks.The face and hands are clear and easy to read, as is the digital display when the hands aren't in the way. The LCD screen can show local time or date, with a dual time setting I think would be really useful on holiday or away travelling. It also has an alarm and stopwatch function and a backlight for the LCD, all of which are very intuitive to use.On to the niggles. Whilst I really like this watch, a few minor factors mean I can't give it 5 stars. The first being the strap.There are deep ridges in the strap near where it attaches to the main body of the watch. I find these rub against the bony part of my wrist, and I have to adjust where it sits quite often to keep it from getting uncomfortable. It also has no crown to set the hands, only a button to move them forward, which is set flush to the casing to avoid accidental adjustment. The problem is that holding this button down is quite painful on the fingertip, especially if you overshoot the current time and have to go all the way through 12 full rotations of the hands to get it right.Very good watch considering I got it for £55

Just what I wanted lovely watch well made not too big and chunky just the right fit comfortable and easy to set up did not have to read the manual took 2 minutes to work out this is the first hybrid watch I have owned I have about 10 automatic watches costing 3 to 4 hundred each and the problem I have is the lum is not great in the dark and they have no light so from now one I will only be buying g shock watches also it’s 200 m waterproof I don’t think I will ever buy an automatic watch again stick with Casio 😀

I have had many G Shocks from when I was at college in 1991. I bought a DW 6800 and I got abused for years and then the bezel spilt and I could not get a replacement. Still got it in naked form although it looks stupid. Then a DW 6900, the plastic housing split on that near the strap so that was rendered useless. Then a DW7900 which I only wore at weekends and have a GD100 as a beater which I recommend for just that at £49.Anyway this watch is great for what it is. Yes the reverse lcd is small to read and the watch hands get in the way. The backlight is wimpy and you have to set both the analogue hands and digital time separately. This don’t bother me as I only use the lower display for month, date and day. My phone is my alarm and I don’t need a different time zone or stop watch. All I wanted was a g shock with analogue hands that I can wear at the weekends with whatever I chose to wear. Get it wet no problem and the battery will last because it will only get used twice a year when the clocks go forward and back. You have to hold the top left button down for analogue adjustment and the time at the bottom on mine in the digital part is wrong, but as I said, it isn’t very legible and isn’t a problem. There are lots of g shocks available. I recommend this for analogue hands and the GD100 which is cheaper, but man it takes a beating. The straps on the GD100 crack where the retaining buckle sits over time, but the battery lasts forever. Not sure how long the battery will last on this, but as it will be used little, probably double the manufacturer period of three years. All in all you can’t go wrong with a G Shock. Just make a list of what you want it to do and always read the reviews
