I ordered this watch for my boyfriend for Christmas, he loves it and wears is every day. The only problem is that is is rather complicated to figure out how it works and how to set things. Outside of your outfit, the unique rose gold on the face of the watch makes it easy to add additional layering pieces. Layer this watch with your favorite gold or rose gold pieces rings or bracelets.
The low-temperature LCD screen makes the watch great for mountaineering, but also working in a laboratory’s cold room. Though more expensive models have taken the limelight recently, the G9000 Mudman was part of the Master of G line and is still one of our favorite G-Shocks. It’s a solid choice for military use or for anyone who needs an extremely rugged watch that will stand up to any environment. The cases are resin but feature metallic bezels for added strength, rigidity, and durability. The urethane strap is built for comfort with water sports in mind, and includes slits throughout for the water and sweat drainage.
The GDX has a 10-year battery, and the size is fine for my wrist. I have the blacked-out version, and have no problem reading the negative display. I think it’s a discontinued model, but it’s a really nice watch and a great addition to my collection. Hands-Free Backlight – Common feature, especially on solar models.
Regular quartz battery will last anywhere between 2 and 10 years, depending on how much you use the backlight of the watch. A solar battery is self-charging but will need to be changed out after years due to wear. Another unique feature of this watch is the 9 o’clock dial indicator which is designed to resemble turbine blades of a jet engine.
With the original gold and black colorway of the very first G-Shock of 1981, this model stays in stock for a split-second as retro-enthusiasts snatch them up. If you really must have this colorway, then you can get the round version (DW5735D-1B) almost anytime. These models lack analog hands, and thus harken back to the earliest G-Shocks that g shock watch appeared in 1981 from the drawing pad of renown Casio designer Kikuo Ibe. They range from small retro-styled units to some of the wildest behemoths in the G-Shock range. Go to the Casio G-Shock website and you’ll find over 300 individual watches. Filter out women’s models, and you’ve got roughly 292 models grouped into ten collections.
They’re exactly the same as the “real” G-Shock in features and durability, but smaller in size. I have another black out watch (DW-5600BB) and it gets compliments all the time. It’s a unique fusion of old-school G-Shock design with the modern minimalist design that just works. G-Shock DW6900BB-1 is a basic G-Shock that comes in a subtle matte-black design, one of the basic watches included Casio’s Black Out line.
