I included a section for pretty much any use you may find for your G-Shock. Whether you are a military man, a policeman, a pilot, an athlete, a hiker, a hunter or a fisherman, a swimmer or a scuba diver, or just want a fancy robust watch to show it off a little, we got you covered. From categories like the best G-Shock for pilots to the best all-purpose G-Shock, we are covering a total of 21 different uses that will surely help you decide on your next best G-Shock. G-Shock watches are developed in accordance with the Triple 10 concept. This means that the battery must last 10 years and that the watch must be waterproof up to 10 bar and able to survive a 10 meter high drop. This watch was resistant against shock and centrifugal forces and was able to withstand high water pressure.
I’ll assume that you already have your stealthy outfit and the watch is the only missing piece. Since clothes are not a concern now, here are the reasons for the stealthy watch. A novel thing you can find on this watch is the shock absorbing back, that helps to ensure that the vibrations are felt by the owner. This feature doesn’t have a large impact on the endurance of the watch but gives the wearer a unique feel when worn. An important thing for your comfort is to take into consideration the size of the watch if you have small wrists.
What you get in the MRG is a tough but slick and dead-on precise G-Shock with a futuristic design in an all-titanium package. Unlike most G-Shocks, it has a slimmer profile that allows it to slide underneath a shirt sleeve, and the looks to make it wearable in most situations, from the office to the outdoors. It is made to withstand pressures up to 20 bars and persistent shocks coming in all forms, from drops to blows to smashes and scratches. There are various G-Shocks out there with lots of various features, feels, and design.
GPR-B1000-1JR comes with a low-temperature (-20°C, -4°F) scratch-proof sapphire crystal LCD display. The band is reinforced with a carbon fiber insert, which makes it basically indestructible. Like the original Rangeman, this model is also extra resistant to mud and dust.
It has all basic features such as a backlight, which helps you see time in the dark, an alarm, and an auto-calendar that helps you keep track of time. Also, you can set the time in either 24 or 12-hour format according to your convenience. These watches were always something you knew you needed because of your active life style, but never had the opportunity to have one (or didn’t even know they existed). The backlighting lights up the whole display, making it really easy to read in low light, which is a feature overlooked in many G-Shock models.
Regular quartz battery will last anywhere between 2 and 10 years, depending on how much you use the backlight of the watch. A solar battery is self-charging but will need to be changed out after years due to wear. G-Shock GA-2000 Series uses a carbon core guard structure which is the newer, “third material” that the watches are being made of besides resin and metal. The carbon is the best of both worlds – lighter than metal, but more durable than resin. This model is the ultimate G-Shock square for hardcore fans of the brand. No collection is complete without a stainless steel caseback square, and this is the perfect model to fill that slot.
You’ll have to set the altitude reference yourself; but once set, it will give you an accurate reading, which is pretty amazing from a tool of the size of a watch. And g shock protection finally, the digital compass will also be a great help for you in the open. You may not need it a lot, but it’s very handy for those who hike using a topographic map.
However, Casio warns that repeatedly pushing the illumination button will drain the battery faster. This being a solar-powered watch, it takes some attention from the wearer to keep it energized. While good enough for most dark conditions, this watch is at its best outside in full daylight (you wouldn’t be surfing in the sea at night time anyway, would you?). It’s got a 1/100 second stopwatch with several modes and a measuring capacity of 999 hours, direct countdown timer button, 35 time zones including 100 cities with city name display, vibration alarm.
Get the GW2310FB-1CR if you want a solar G-Shock and like the tactical looks. It used to be a best-selling model a couple of years back and is still popular. G-Shock GA700 is another oversized model that comes in a 55mm case.
