Just like that well crafted military equipment that has to be very solid but also light at the same time, for the super soldier to carry on the battlefield. A military wouldn’t need a chunk of metal on his hand to keep him from being stealthy and swift. Wouldn’t a lightweight and, at the same time, a solidly built watch, do a better job?
That’s why they are called Gravitational Shock in its full form. If you need a great sports watch, this is the brand to look at. Not only are they sturdy, just about every watch has stopwatch functionality, time, and are either light or water resistance. It’s the perfect watch to take with you if you are going for a morning run, hiking up a mountain or anything that is active.
It is the only solar-powered analog model on this list, and like the G100-1BV, it is a smaller-sized analog G-Shock than the GA-100 models. This is a good choice for basic time-telling and maintenance-free operation, but if you plan to use functions like the stopwatch and countdown timer often, you may want to opt for an all-digital model with a larger LCD display. The G-Shock Rescue is a multi-function sports watch and a great value. They have fallen substantially and now can be had for around $70. It includes tide, moon phase and can be set for multiple alarms and an illuminator switch so it can easily be read at night.
An example feature is the magnetic resistance, which may not sound like an important spec at first but it’s another thing you won’t have to worry about. When your watch encounters a random magnet, which can normally screw up a regular watch, you’ll just pass by unaffected. This can be very useful when you are in military or tactical-type situations or doing work under certain conditions, and you need your watch to keep going.
The moderate size makes it much easier to keep under a sleeve when necessary and much less likely to get snagged and caught on equipment, the consequences of which could be injurious. A thinner profile so that it doesn’t stand as proud on the wrist would be welcome without compromising its near indestructibility. It is known as the MIL-STANDARD g shock protection G-Shock because it passes the environmental stress testing of MIL-STD-810. It is also known for its impressive 10-year battery life and Alpha Gel protection for extreme shock resistance. It is a popular model that is available in a wide range of colors and styles, but for military use we recommend the basic black model.
Overall good feel, beautiful design and many features, this watch could be a „godsend” for sailors, boaters, and yachters. At 49 mm in diameter, it is one of the “smaller” G-Shock watches. Featuring a 15mm thickness and comfortable resin case and band, so you won’t feel it as a burden when sailing across the sea. The Mudman is found to be really comfortable to wear throughout the day despite the obvious massivity of the watch.
