GA100C-8A $ 99.00 G-Shock’s most popular large case analog/digital series introduces a new color collection, the GA100C’s. 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.
It uses LED illumination on the other analog-digital models and uses luminous paint on the all-analog models. The LED lighted models don’t have a light diffuser and the LEds tend to have a blinding effect, especially on models with the Super Illuminator feature. At a brainstorming meeting in the early 1980’s, the team at Casio was presented a proposal to create a watch that wouldn’t break even if it fell onto a hard surface. The simple idea seemed far-fetched at the time, however, a three-man team led by Kikuo Ibe embarked on the seemingly impossible challenge. Prior to spearheading his ambitious endeavor, Ibe was the engineer-in-charge of external design for Casio watches. The team’s early attempts at creating an unbreakable watch were futile.
It has a big window, a solid resin case and a band that feels good in the hand, closing with a metal buckle clasp. The readability of the watch is a big plus having an easy to read time function for indoor/outdoor, also the contrast between the yellow marks and baby g shock the black background being a good choice made for this model. Best of all, although it’s a large watch at 51mm, it only weighs 2.6 ounces. The GD350 has a world time function including 35 time zones , a very desirable feature for a traveler or a business man.
The G-Shock is a line of watches manufactured by the Japanese electronics company Casio, designed to resist mechanical stress, shock and vibration. The watches in the G-Shock line are designed primarily for sports, military and outdoors-oriented activities; nearly all G-Shocks are chronographs, with either a digital display or a combination of analogue and digital. Other features such as countdown timer, world clock, alarms, electroluminescent backlight and water resistance are included in most models. Newer high-end models in the line also feature GPS, compass or radio-controlled adjustment known as Multi-Band.
The good-looking designs and utility colors of these models maximize coordination possibilities with both everyday fashions and training wear. GA700BMC-1A $ 99.00 G-SHOCK announces new models decorated with colors that recall modern Tokyo street scenes. GBD800UC-8 $ 99.00 These are the latest additions to the new POWER TRAINER sports lineup from G-SHOCK. GMAS140-1A $ 99.00 From the G-SHOCK S-Series of highly popular analog-digital watch comes new model with new face and hand design.

Atomic timekeeping is a fancy high precision way of keeping time, that synchronizes the watch to the atomic time broadcasted from several points around the world. The chronograph is a must for a pilot’s watch because it helps to measure the passing of time precisely. Neo-brite is a proprietary technology from Casio that uses a high-visibility luminous paint for the indexes and hands. Finally, the smart crown access is an intelligently designed feature that helps a lot with high-speed adjustments. Speaking of build quality, this is as you’d expect from a G-Shock, and by this I mean massive.
The GD400MB-1 is a large-size G-Shock featuring a “bullbar” wire face protector for increased impact resistance. Combined with its green-tinted reverse LCD display and all-black body, this gives the watch a tough tactical look. This watch features an adjustable “flash alert” with LED light and buzzer for the alarms, hourly time signal, and countdown timer. Other unique features are the multi-time function that will display the time for 4 different cities and a low battery warning. For the price, this watch is a great pick, but is it worth any salt? It incorporates lots of functions in a rugged shock-resistant case all strapped up by a comfortable resin band.
Only downside I have found is the light when used at night is only good enough to see the time. So make sure you set your alarm prior to the darkness if you are out camping. Because of this toughness, water resistance and unique look, G-Shock baby g shock watches gained immense popularity in the 1990’s with extreme sport athletes, first responders, military personnel and various outdoorsmen. It was around this same period that Casio launched the Baby G collection for women in a smaller size.
