Casio G Shock Watches Sold At Arizona Fine Time
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. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of current PRW-3100 models to choose from.
Our complete guide of G-Shock watches includes Solar Powered G-Shocks. If you see Tough Solar option or tag #G-Shock-Solar — it means that the watch is Solar Powered. Amazing function and you do not need to worry about battery replacement. The limited edition timepiece comes prepared with the US flag, NASA logos and an engraved space shuttle icon on the back. It’s one of the higher-end models of the G-shock collection that’s created for the brave adventurers.
Its classic lineage makes the G-Shock GW-5000-IJF a favorite with watch collectors. Since they’re manufactured regularly in Japan, the G-Shock watches are easy to find at a good price. A throwback to the design of the original 1983 Casio G-Shock, the GW-5000-IJF is made in Japan and updated with the latest technology. The 43-mm case is stainless steel with a strong DCL coating and a screw-back case. The lightweight GA2000-1A9 with G-Shock’s typical functions makes a great watch for daily wear. This G-Shock model comes with a comfortable resin band with a tang buckle.
It’s slightly busier than the GA-400, and for this reason, Casio is pushing this as “Street Fashion”-oriented. What we see is more of an automotive vibe coming in with the perforated hands on many models that suggest both old-school steering wheels and perforated driving gloves. But, yes, they’ll also color-coordinate with your most high-tech sneakers for mad street style. These watches are pushing 80s style into modern proportions like a trunk-pumpin’ remix of DeBarge.
I consider it nearly indestructible other than putting the watch head on an anvil or hardened concrete surface, and taking a sledge hammer to it. It’s the reason these and their battery powered DW6900 and DW5600 ancestors have been the favorites of US military personnel for decades now. GG-B100 does not have Tough Solar power or Multi-Band 6 radio wave timekeeping like the GWG-1000.
To determine that, we will be going through each of the watches features both brands offer. Afterward, we will be directly comparing specific models from both of their catalogs in a head-to-head matchup. Meierotto Jewelers is Kansas City’s leading jewelry store featuring the area’s largest selection of rings, diamonds, fine jewelry and watches. As a full-service jewelry store we offer not only an incredible selection, but also in-house jewelry and watch repair, appraisals, custom design, engraving and much more. After my watch broke recently, my wife surprised me with this awesome black diamond G-Shock.
DW5600MS-1BTS $ 99.00 G-SHOCK classic digital watch design is paired with a Bluetooth-enabled set of headphones which can play tunes and make or receive phone calls. GA140BMC-1A $ 99.00 G-SHOCK announces new models decorated with colors that recall modern Tokyo street scenes. GA700BMC-1A $ 99.00 G-SHOCK announces new models decorated with colors that recall modern Tokyo street scenes.
G-Shock is synonymous with their tank-like design which can be seen as a downside for some. The bulky build of G-Shock watches can feel cumbersome and uncomfortable g shock protection for those with smaller wrists. Fortunately, G-Shock does have some sleeker models in their catalogs such as the DW5600 models and the Baby-G series.
The digital Casio watch, which features a square-shaped case, even captures that retro look that will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts. On the other hand, Casio tends to follow the traditional watch design. Regular Casio timepieces all stay within the 45mm diameter size. So, Casio watches tend to be more accessible to a wider customer base than the large G-Shock watch models. Another huge difference, pun not intended, is with the overall bulk of their cases.
I just ned the time and the feeling i have a wrist watch everyday, it feels complete. Thanks, you would need to get a strap adapter to use a nato strap but I’m not sure where to get one for that model. The most common strap adapters are for the 5600 series, DW/GW-6900, and Rangeman, but those are digital models. There are also strap adapters for the GD/GA-1XX watches but none of those are solar. If you are worried about the seal you can do a pressure test at a watch store after changing the battery. Unless it is reassembled improperly or the o-ring is worn out it should be okay.
