6 Things You Didnt Know About G Shock Watches
Oda Nobunaga was a powerful feudal lord in late 16th-century Japan. For almost 200 years, Japan had seen near-constant warfare between daimyo, lords like Oda. Although the emperor was nominally in charge of the Japanese people, his real power was ceded to the Shogun, a general who administered the government. The ongoing wars between lords were often over succession.
Those who desire the most accurate timekeeping will find the watch’s Bluetooth feature useful, as the automatic time adjustment feature will sync the time through a smartphone four times per day. This is the most affordable G-Shock watch with Bluetooth connectivity, and it is a mid-size G-Shock suitable for men and women. The G-SQUAD line is also available in an analog-digital version with the GBA-800 series, but those who plan to use the stopwatch and timer frequently should opt for the larger digital display of the GBD-800.
As you’d expect in a G-Shock watch, the GSW-H1000 has a brawny look with a titanium back for extra durability. That’s backed by actual toughness, including shock- and water-resistance down to 200 meters of depth. That’s a first for G-Shock watches, though Casio already uses Wear OS on its Pro Trek smartwatch lineup. People usually associate the ’80s with neon Day-Glo colors, and there was certainly a lot of that, but there were also some really fantastic color combinations that were more subtle and cool. It would have been fun to have “Pulse Code Modulation” on the strap, but that doesn’t make any sense on a watch.
The MTG-B1000 has advanced and premium features like a sapphire crystal, Tough Solar power, Multi-Band 6 automatic radio time-sync, Bluetooth smartphone link, and Triple G Resist . The MTG-B1000 can fulfill many roles and be at home in a variety of settings. is stainless steel, solar-powered with an LED light, and only 38.4 millimeters in diameter. It includes a full calendar, stopwatch, countdown timer, and a 31-timezone world clock. All of those features will seem secondary to the pure elegance of its style.
The three-handed design and smaller size may appeal the first-time G-Shock buyer who wants a more traditional style and who may be apprehensive about the larger sizes of other G-Shock models. The GA-900 has the distinction of having the longest estimated battery life of any non-solar G-Shock with an analog display. The style is inspired by industrial and construction equipment, and the yellow accents on this GA-900-1A bring to mind the Caterpillar company. 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.
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 baby g shock 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.
It’s worth noting that the first G-Shocks were all digital, not analog. This is key because a digital watch has no moving parts and is therefore far less susceptible to mechanical failure or damage in extreme environments. Since 1983, G-SHOCK has been setting the standard in toughness.
