All placed against a black dial that gives it good contrast and a sober look and feel. I’ll be taking the GWA1100-1A Aviation model as a reference since it’s one of the highest rated in the line. It meets the requirements for gravitational forces and anti-magnetism, but it also comes with a host of other features, both specialized and regular ones. It has neo-brite luminous hands and markers, 200-meter water resistance in the eventuality that you’re not only a pilot but also a diver, atomic time synchronization, a smart access crown, thermometer, chronograph and more. These models were released in 1996, designed and specifically made for the surfing market. These models were the very first G-Shock watches to have a countdown timer.
The brand does this well enough to an extent that the GX-56BB is regarded as one of the toughest watches in the collection. For the low to mid rangers, G-Shock enthusiasts love them because they have the longest battery life outside of the solar-powered models that the company makes. Inspired by the dream of creating a watch that never breaks, the watch is now known as the toughest watch of all time. Shop the G-Shock watch collection from Jared—each packed with Casio innovation and technology.

The illumination button does not illuminate the digital display, only the large white blocks light up, its cool looking but the function of watching the digital display is lost in the dark. Casio G-SHOCK watches have endless combinations of features. If you want all the bells and whistles, this is not the watch, you need to spend another couple of hundred. I’m not disappointed in my choice, as this is my second G-SHOCK, my first one is 15 years old and still working, and usable. G-SHOCK is a collection, the more you spend, the more options you get.
A beautiful display stands on the front of the watch with a quite asymmetrical layout but has a general satisfying aura, backed up by a blue LED for illumination. The customizable alarms for workdays and weekends are very useful for people baby g shock who have a somewhat balanced schedule and don’t want to mess around with alarms every day or night. The G9000-1V Mudman is an awesome watch and can make a huge difference when you find yourself in the field, saving a human life.
The first one was a Casio Pro Tek, and I returned it because when the light button was pressed, it was such uneven light-much lighter on one side than the other. I was very, baby g shock very disappointed to find the same to be true with this watch, as it is a more expensive G-Shock model. Unfortunately, this is a company/multiple product flaw in my opinion.
It’s lightweight, professional looking, with a rugged and durable feel to it, all of this at a great price. If you feel that the looks and features are up to par, hop off the fence and make the purchase. An important thing for your comfort is to take into consideration the size of the watch if you have small wrists. This watch is pretty huge, at a 53mm case diameter and almost 5 ounces, so it may not be the watch for frail men. Be aware that this is an issue with most G-Shock watches, so you may want to try one on first before making a decision.
For me the biggest advantage of the GW vs DW6900-1V is the “solar” rechargeable battery. It’s why I abandoned quartz watches in the very early 1980’s during my military career, using Hamilton MIL-W-46374B and GG-W-113 watches, alternating periodically between them. I could always sync to a WWV HF signal or a comm center chronometer every few days. When you’re out in some Godforsaken wilderness, desert wasteland or jungle, watch battery replacement isn’t feasible. If outside a region covered by one of the LF time signals (e.g. WWVB), it will continue working just fine, with the ability to set the time manually as needed, which shouldn’t be very often. The moderate size makes it much easier to keep under a sleeve when necessary and much less likely to get snagged and caught on equipment, the consequences of which could be injurious.
