The GA-700 series is a recent addition to the G-Shock lineup. This extra-large 53.4mm watch is ideal for those with bigger wrists. The GA700 is notable for its front-facing LED light button (a first for an affordable analog-digital G-Shock) and its estimated 5-year battery life which is longer than most non-solar analog-digital models. Other features include world time, 5 daily alarms with 1 snooze alarm, stopwatch, and countdown timer.
The Rangeman is resistant to mud and dust with its protected button structure, and the sensors are easily accessed with a single button. It is a good choice for those who like the old-school digital style of G-Shock but also want the latest features at an affordable price. As an advanced G-Shock model, it also has Tough Solar and Multi-Band 6. It is the best choice for a serious all-around outdoor or survival watch, as its digital structure will theoretically handle more abuse than a watch with mechanical moving parts.
With its decagonal bezel, prominent front screws, and bumpers, it sort of resembles a mini-Mudmaster. The watch also has a front LED light button, 1/100 second stopwatch, 60-minute countdown timer, and 5 alarms. Almost all G-Shocks will have a stopwatch, a countdown timer, a backlight, and 200m of water resistance. Beyond that, Casio riffs endlessly with style and functionality, from resin-cased altimeter- and barometer-loaded models to precious-metal atomic-clock referencing dual-time world travellers. This guide should help you navigate your way to the model that suits you.
Of course, the “Triple 10” philosophy is a minimum standard and many G Shocks surpass it. Thanks, watches with an “STN” LCD display have better contrast and viewing angles, but there are not a lot of G-Shock watches with this kind of display. The metal GMW-B5000 series has it (and I think that is the only full-digital G-Shock that has it). If you don’t mind a non-G-Shock watch, then the Pro Trek PRW-3100 series fits the bill. It has large digits and an STN LCD, and even the negative LCD models look good and much better than the non-STN PRW-3000 models.
Unlike most other watches, the countdown timer can be displayed and activated with the current time showing simultaneously. The countdown timer has a dedicated button that is large and easily accessible in any condition. For end of countdown alerts, the watch can either be set to vibrate or beep and flash a LED light. This unique vibration alert can also be used for alarms and an hourly time signal. The high luminescence LED can be set up for 1, 3, or 5 seconds. The watch also features 5 daily alarms including 1 snooze alarm and a long-lasting 5 year battery with a low battery warning.
Battery life could be an issue on older, non-solar models, but the batteries usually last longer than the estimated battery life listed in the specs. Thanks, yeah apparently the stopwatch memory doesn’t display the correct times if the watch is in 12 hour mode, confirmed by three people, one of whom bought two watches with both having the same problem. Using 24 hour mode solves the problem but I realize that might not be acceptable for some people. They are about the same but the GWG-1000 will use up the battery at a slightly faster rate .
For durability, toughness, and classic style, shop G-SHOCK analog-digital and digital watches. Our digital watches withstand nearly any adventure you can think of with features such as water resistance up to 200 meters, shock proof, and more. Shop additional features such as fitness tracking capabilities, compasses, solar-powered, and more. With its clear skeleton aesthetic, the analog digital G-Shock 700SK-1A is sure to be a conversation starter as well as a quality timepiece.
While the rating says is also up to 200m, it’s really only able to take surface water activity, I wouldn’t rely on it for actual diving unless you want to risk water getting under the glass. If you’re looking for better water resistance, look at the higher-end models in the “Sea” series above. Visually astonishing, but still stealth in its visual appearance and over the years always employing the latest technology. The hour, minute and second hands are managed by completely different axes and motors. Since its invention nearly 40 years ago, the G Shock line has incorporated over 3,000 different models.
the Master of G Series, a line intended specifically for people who risks their lives as members of the military. The series includes 42 different watches ranging in price from $200 to over $1000+. 12/24 hour military time formats can easily be toggled on and off.
The watches feature semi-transparent resin bezels and straps wrapping several of the designs we already know and love. There are technically two colorways, Transparent White and Transparent Grey, the former light and bright and the latter bringing a smoked-out, tactical vibe. Inspired by snakes, samurai helmets, and volcanic lightning. Dear John is great movie, but how many times can you watch it? From the Revolutionary War to a WWII couple that reunited in 2016, these stories will give you a little hope that love is alive and well.
