Ever since they have been launched these Casio watches have undergone many modifications. Embedding them with the phenomenal features they have become even more cooler than before. With that, it’s only normal that baby g shock the watches turn to be a bit chunky, though with the square case , being called bold would be better. They also come with all of the usual G-shock features such as a stopwatch, daily alarm, and the likes.
They both have Tough Solar power but Rangeman also has Multi-Band 6 time syncing. (Mudmaster GW-9300, not G-9300, also has Multi-Band 6 and carbon fiber g shock protection strap keeper but that is a Japan-only model). Rangeman is an excellent choice for an outdoor watch and has a lot more features than the Mudman G-9300.
This model also comes with a hand-shift feature that allows you to move the hands of watch away to read the digital screens for a few seconds. Now, there is a solar atomic version of the Mudmaster available, but its price is even higher because it’s a Japanese import. It’s hard to justify, considering that the ~$200 Rangeman comes with the same features except for the analog display. G-Shock GD350 belongs to Casio’s “Gulf Delta” line of military watches. Vibration alarm and instant-access countdown timer are the main features which make this unique. You won’t find the vibration alarm on any of the premium G-Shocks.
The GA-700 has an extra-large rugged case (53.4 millimeters-wide, larger than a GA-100) combined with a 3D index and large analog hands. The face also includes an LCD display for features like world time, stopwatch, countdown timer, 5 daily alarms with 1 snooze alarm, and 12/24 hour format. The basic g shock watch black GA-700-1B is a best-seller, and other popular military-inspired colors are available in the Utility Color Series seen above. The G-Shock shock resistant watch is a line of watches manufactured by the Japanese electronics company Casio, designed to resist mechanical stress, shock and vibration.
If he’s going to the Navy keep in mind, that his watch has to look tough, so either square or oversized round case. Hi, I only own two G-Shocks (DW-5600CC-2ER and a GA-110HC-2A), both without solar. I do Monutainbiking and also extensive walks while making pictures, I would prefer my 5600 in any case, because it’s light and I forget about it . The smaller size also helps in avoiding scratching or smashing the glass. I am looking at GWB5600BL-1, GA100BL-1A, GAS100G-1A. Which has the most features he would need? Mudman G-9300 or Rangeman GW-9400 since both have a compass sensor.
For digital the DW-5600 and GW-M5610 are the smallest models. I have some solar G-Shocks that are almost 10 years old (GW-M5600, GW-225) and a GW-9000 which is 10 years old and they are still working fine with the original rechargeable batteries. They usually stay charged to the maximum without having to leave it in the sun or under bright light, at least for the all-digital models. If you’re not going to wear it just leave it by a window and it should be okay.
It’s a unique fusion of old-school G-Shock design with the modern minimalist design that just works. Now, does the stainless steel build make this square tougher and more durable? But you’ll only notice that difference if you run lab experiments on it. In real-life situations, however, there is no difference between a G-Shock with the plastic inner case and a G-Shock with the stainless steel DLC coated one. Although bigger than the GWM-500 above, the watch is a little smaller than most other G-shocks – we’re rating it as “medium”. The all-black coloring with the negative display gives the watch a tactical look.
I’ll be wearing it everyday just like the old watches i have. Looks like I’m interest with new model mentioned in this page, in #19, G-STEEL GSTB100-1A Large Tough Solar Analog Watch with Bluetooth. I have ordered AWG-M100 as my first G shock and also agree with you on the solar part as I don’t like to change battery or impact the WR or the seal if the back cover is open. I’ve never had a problem with my G-Shock watches rusting from saltwater, but I was fishing and diving once or twice a week so it wasn’t constant exposure.
I would suggest picking the one you like the look of the most. hi, i have been looking through various sites over the last 3 days until i came across ur article, i had a Casio Illuminator series for almost 13 years before it gave me problems. I am basically looking at a big, rugged, water and shock proof solar powered watch that’s digital. I would like one that offers a pedometer, can u suggest the best choice for me?
Other unique features of the watch include lay-flat bands, guardless buttons, dual-layer stainless steel, and resin case back, and a convenient front LED light button. The biggest downside of this model is that it’s non-solar. If you can deal with that, then it’s a fantastic analog G-Shock pick. G-Rescue comes in multiple colors, with black and red being the most popular. The red model is easier to read, as it doesn’t have the negative display of the black one.
